  • WHAAATTT THE FUUUCCKKK!!! 0:15 Holly shit on that lowrider.. and I usually always hate low riders...

  • that Lexus´s drifting in the end is real?

  • CTS-V vs the 2012-13 M5, and Regal GS vs its main competition.

  • Lincoln navigator?

  • when will you guys test the 2012 zr1

  • this sounds badass

  • ZR1 GTR

  • I really wanna see a Super Snake vs a ZL1

  • Why the hell am I watching a Motortrend video?

  • Sonho de consumo! Quem dera poder ter um desses!

  • @mahimid كل يوم تعال :)

  • When or when will you post the Zr1 vs Italia at :28? Looks like a good comparison.

  • @TheHm3 We brought a ZR1 to Europe, and stopped by Maranello for some fun. Put aside some time in March for an epic Vette road trip.

  • @motortrend It was a 458 Italia right? And where is the video?

  • @TheHm3 well in the split second featured in this teaser you can already see the ZR1 pulling away real hard from the 458Italia LOL ,,, looking forward for the entire thing , yeah... greetings from germany.

  • I cant wait !!

  • مشكورين على الطرب

  • What changed? Isn't Motortrend supposed to do this sort of stuff anyway?

  • David F is a car genius and pretty funny to watch some of his car trips.

  • ok good.... but dont get stupid on us and put up pointless shit @motortrend

  • thumbs up if u paused at 0:42

  • zl1 vs nissan gtr plz. both are large 2 door sports car with similar power to weight ratio and shape

  • @jipi0001

    Dude...what's the point of comparing 2013 GTR to the ZL1? The GTR would obviously blow it away...

    The '13 GTR does 0-60 in 2.7 seconds and high 10's in the quarter mile.

  • @CyberGTX09 Because drag racing is the best comparison for 2 road cars, right? Yeah, you're comparing two different chassis components against one another, but in the end, you don't tackle corners. Waste of time if you don't race them against each other at a road course.

  • @chevystud88

    How is it a waste of time? Well IT IS a waste of time. Just look up how the GTR takes on the Nurburgring, Laguna Seca, etc. You would know the outcome already if you pit those two damn cars together in a race whether its drag or track racing.

    GTR is just whole different class for the ZL1 AND GT500 even though they all have launch controls...lol :P

  • @CyberGTX09 LOL 2.7 seconds, maybe if it had a thousand more horsepower and the grip to match. the camaro will handle as well, similar proportions and no power to the front wheels to cause understeering. sorry, but the gtr is nowhere near a supercar, even a camry has a lower stance and weights a lot less.

  • @jipi0001 No shit the Camaro will handle.... GM gave it the best Magnetic suspension they had. Which is probably the best suspension being offered in production cars. A time of 7:40.2 is considerably disappointing. Still pretty damn well for a muscle car. But GM could've shaved some weight to make it 3,600 pounds, that could've led it to maybe a time in the 7:30s!

  • @jipi0001

    Uhh...first of all, the GTR could reach 0-60 in less than 3 seconds with launch control. Secondly, the GTR does have supercar-like performance. Thirdly, why even mention the Camry? If you want to see a Nissan GTR with over 1000 HP then watch the ALPHA 12 GTR, then come back.

    Have you even watched InsideLine's video of the 2013 GTR? If you haven't, then I suggest you do because the GTR already blows away most Ferrari and Lambos at the track...and it's only a NISSAN V6 TT :D

  • @CyberGTX09 launch control does not magically push a 3800 lbs car... it only has 545hp, so i doubt it would accelerate as fast as my r1 which does 0-60 in just under 3 secs. difference is the bike has a power to weight ratio that is 3 times superior and a driver operated clutch that allows for the most efficient launches.

    if i want a fast awd, ill buy an old impreza for 3000 $ and use a tiny part of the 97000$ ill save on a turbo 4 thatll have a lot more hp than that nissan v6 tt

  • @jipi0001

    Wow you really don't believe that the GTR does 0-60 in under 3 seconds? Tsk tsk.

    Here, just copy and paste this link:

    /watch?v=YyoW2bKHIic

    I know you like bike and all, but you don't have to stay ignorant about cars, especially at what the GTR can do. Nissan designed this GTR out of pure science, not magic.

    So what if it's 3800 lbs? It also has AWD, dual clutch transmission, twin-turbo, and other electronic gadgets you've probably never seen in a bike...lol.

  • @CyberGTX09 in the video you sent, it did 3.1, which i doubt it even comes close. with a 3 feet rollout on my bike i would prolly do 0-60 in less than 2... about the turbo, it is only used to increase the volumetric efficiency, not yet as efficient as a motorcycle engine in this case but with a much higher boost, this is how 1000hp engines are made. a dual clutch tranny is very good but it doesnt do anything special for the launch, AWD is for low grip terrain.

  • @jipi0001

    Actually it's 2.9 seconds WITH a 1 ft rollout. If you still don't believe that this car can achieve a 0-60 in less than 3 seconds, then fine by me. Hell, even ask Motortrend yourself because they've tested this vehicle many times already.

    You don't even need 1000 HP to reach 0-60 in less than 3 seconds. Even the Porsche Turbo S can reach 0-60 in less than 3 seconds and it doesn't even have 1000 HP...lol.

    Technology for cars are rapidly changing and you know it's a fact.

  • @CyberGTX09 a porsche turbo s is almost a thousand pounds lighter and the all the weight is on the rear tires... yet from what ive read it doesnt go 0-60 in less than 3 secs. technology for road going cars is far from racecars which are rwd overpowered vechicles with minimal and aerodynamic bodywork. a sportbike is a racebike made street legal.

  • @jipi0001

    The Porsche 911 Turbo S weighs 3491 lbs according to Car and Driver Magazine. So how is that "a thousand pounds" lighter to anything I've said so far? According to Car and Driver Magazine, they've also tested this car to go from 0-60 in 2.7 seconds. The Turbo S is powered by a twin-turbocharged DOHC engine and 7 speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission that puts out 530 HP and 516 ft-lb of torque.

    I've listed my sources. Where's yours? Or are you still ignorant? LoL

  • @CyberGTX09 oops misread the model year. anyway, ive never seen the speedo of a gtr going from 0-60 in less than 3.5 sec... exept the ones with thousands hp. although ive seen so many bikes do 0-60 in less than 3 including mine. why dont u get a gtr so we can race

  • @jipi0001

    I've test drove a 2012 GTR once and the most I've clocked in from 0-60 was 3.1 seconds...so of course a GTR can achieve less than 3.5 seconds. Maybe you should test drive one yourself so you will believe me.

    And no I'm not going to buy a GTR just so I can race your R1...lol.

  • @CyberGTX09 id be shocked to see a single nissan gtr in canada... especially during winter. if i was to try an awd car, id test a subaru or something not overpriced that could be built in a sleeper much faster than a gtr, with 3 usable rear seats and less fuel consumption

  • @jipi0001

    Ehh whatever suits your taste dude. I don't know why you consider the GTR overpriced when in fact it is a bang for your buck that can beat most "overpriced" European supercars. It can also seat 4 people while having a cargo trunk in the back. It has luxury amenities you would typically find in "overpriced" luxury cars.

    Keep in mind, this is all stock from factory. It's amazing how you still doubt the fact that the GTR can do 0-60 in less than 3.5 or at least 3 seconds lol

  • @CyberGTX09 well its a playstation on wheels... gadgets such as accelerometers are pretty useless, this car isnt filled with carbon fiber or other exotic material... it has a poorly drawn sedan bodywork and 2 unusable rear seats. its like a bigger and 2 door lancer or impreza with a v6.... clearly not worth 3 times the ultimate versions of these cars.

    with such few horsepower it simply cannot accelerate this fast, not physically possible even if it has infinite grip when launching

  • @jipi0001

    See what I mean? You're just being ignorant about the damn car already...lol. I mean you're not exactly a car enthusiast judging from your previous posts, so I don't blame you.

    And how can you say it's a playstation on wheels? Would a Lamborghini Aventador be considered as a Playstation on wheels since it's also computerized and automatic? You don't speak of facts, you speak of opinions. You've no idea whatsoever what Nissan had to undergo to perfect the GTR's acceleration

  • @CyberGTX09 yeah, im not a big fan of what lamborghini has became. i dont like it when its all automated and cushioned. motorcycles with minimal driving assists, small simple supercars like caterham are exotic, fast, upgradable, mechanical. just like the top notch race cars, those are the shit. obviously nissan is aimed at the segment of technogeek fanboys, and its working. i prefer authentic, brutal machine whos feedback is not displayed on screen, but felt.

  • @jipi0001

    Hey I know what you mean man. For me, those days were the 80's and 90's when manual the real deal when it came to sports cars...fun and simple to drive.

  • very nice teaser , so can i expect regular content weekly?? im subscribing either way , always watch your vids but never subscribed cuz i thought content was too spaced out and little , but this changed my mind , looking forward to this year with you guys .

  • @acidmatar Monday through Friday, at least one new video every day!

  • @motortrend when will u be getting the shelby gt500 and zl1?

  • THE PERFORMANCE OF INTENDED FUNCTION!

  • I like how you guys are just copying DRIVE channel.

  • @boyhash1 What's DRIVE?

  • @boyhash1 - apart from that DRIVE uploads two videos every day :)

  • @boyhash1 So because it's a YouTube channel with cars, it's copying something else? Really? YouTube said it was making dedicated channels like this months ago. MT didn't just jump on board yesterday...plus, this is going to so much better than Drive. Drive has some talented guys with great shows, but if it's not from Farah, Harris, or someone who's been doing video for a while, it's largely been lackluster. This'll be better.

  • @ChannelJEB How can you say it'll be better?

    Have you seen Ignition yet? Because I sure haven't.

    Trust me, the guys on DRIVE may not be as "experienced" as the guys from MotorTrend, but they're sure as hell more interesting.

  • I wonder if this will be better than DRIVE

  • what channel is dieseltv on

  • This sounds great! I can't wait for all of this unique content to appear!

  • YAY!!

  • I'm just stunned! This will be AWESOME!!!

  • Sweet!!! Comes out on my birthday!

  • WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! REPLY TO ME!

    DAYUMM I can't WAIT for the first videos!!!!

  • Gotta love this channel!

  • im so excited!

  • Imo Lacuna Seca hot lap are best thing on this channel

  • I used to read Motor Trend but then I took a Topgear to the knee.

  • @masterjedi89 Is somone playing Skyrim in their Landrover Evoque?

  • 0:41 not bad :D

  • So who is the new hired host for the WOT segment?

  • As i said before lets settle a huge dispute!!!!! Take th fastest new trucks dealers have to offer. Extended cab 6.2l chevy, extended cab ecoboost, single cab tundra, singlecab ram, extended cab titan and race them in performance tests. Even though thats not there intended function. If you look at any truck vids you will see only arguing about whos truck is fastest. Every truck vid is of people arguing and fighting abou whos truck is fastest. Personally i think the chevy will win.

  • please lower your videos' contrast. they were all darkened too much and makes the viewing unpleasant.

  • Its about time. Get rid of the corny jokes and stop the attempting at being like Top Gear and you will be just fine. Be professional because Motor Trend actually set the trend more than 2 decades ago that everyone else still follow today. Recently you all started doing a good job, keep it up.

  • Hahaha how did you guys get video of David F?

  • @ChaosTime86 David Freiburger will be hosting and appearing in several Hot Rod-related videos every month.

  • dailymusicshare.tumblr.com

  • DRIVE is going down! :D

    but in the end, all of us as viewers will gain from watching some really high quality content on both DRIVE and MotorTrend...competition is good!

  • go motortrend we love you

  • Hell Yeah !!! I'ma watch MotorTrend every day !

  • I'm impressed! Are you hiring?

  • 0:37 ..... fucking amazing!

  • Click to subscribe? I'm already subscribed. Where is that new channel?

  • 00:33 asian shuffling

  • 0:41 Boner achieved. 

  • Will this channel still post new videos or is this channel moving completely to the new one?

  • Long term subscriber to the mags, this looks very cool can't wait.

  • whos that chick on 0:41?

  • When can we expect the ZL1 drive video?

  • @nikoman2002 You might want to get the popcorn ready the week of Feb. 6.

  • Now I will actually watch motor trend videos... this+DRIVE will soon equal a lot of time on youtube :)

  • Motor Trend FTW!! Hoping to enjoy every bit of your contents!!!

  • Was that LF-A perpendicular to the track at then end? Sick!

  • Does this mean we won't have to listen to that incredibly old and annoying MotorTrend intro anymore? :P

  • So who is the person replying to comments? MT is a huge mag

  • First DRIVE now this? YT just got a whole lot better. And this has to happen when SOPA is around? FUCK OFF SOPA!

  • This + DRIVE = Win.

  • I'm sorry but Drive will and always be better, this is going to watered down the the average consumer. I get the feeling right from this video.

  • ZL1 FTW!

  • lfa drift at 1:00 is SICKKKK

  • I subscribe to both Hot Rod and Motor Trend (mags and Youtube). This looks awesome.

  • About time !

  • DRIVE channel did it first...just saying!

  • @KasperMedia hey can you tell me the name of their channel, i cant find it lol

  • @velcro62 youtube(dot)com/drive

  • NICE

  • Always use a english accent with automotive presentation or gps navigation. Worst accent to hear in a porno tho jus sayin

  • @tres311 Good to know. Though you know that's an Aussie talking, right?

  • This is like drives second channel only better

  • I'm loving this car goodness on YouTube as of late.

  • Really excited for the channel!

  • I masturbate a lot.

  • Can we hope to see more car reviewing rather than just fact posting? We can all look up specs on a car, we look to you guys to tell us what they're really like to drive. Also, bring on more sights and sounds segments!

  • Finally!!!

  • I love you Motortrend!!! Long term subscriber (Magazine, not just youtube) Keep doin what you guys do best and I cant wait to see what you guys have in store :)

  • looks like another show like DRIVE. AWESOME!!

  • Dear MotorTrend: I would like to see you test for the "ultimate awd sports car" a car for all seasons. so cars like the s4/s5, evo, sti. a car thats just as good on dry pavement as it is knee deep in snow. Sincerely, a fan up north

  • Camaro zl1 better be the first tested. We have been waiting for it for the test for over a year now. It's agonizing to see the pictures and hear the engine and not be able to see what you guy's think of it.

  • wtf this is the first time i see motortrend reply to someone.

  • @GhostFaceKilllah And not the last. We promise.

  • @motortrend It happened again, lets see if this thing isn't automated...ROAD AND TRACK!!

  • @motortrend awsome

  • Nice to see you guys responding to comments.

  • @hondaftw1234 Thanks!

  • Al parecer se va a poner Mejor de lo que es este canal :D

  • still waiting for the zl1 test!

  • @IxOVERKILLxI Soon my friend. Soon.

  • CAMARO!!!! zl1 ofcourse

  • I am buying one next year :D. Cant wait to be smoking everyone accept for the guys in them gtr's.

  • That is the date of my birthday, thank you Motor trend, in advance. To me you now become the most eminent motormagazin in the world, a place that a couple of years ago was held by car and driver.From Sweden with love.

  • It would be cool if you did video logs of your long term vehicles!

  • @Barobran92 Interesting idea. Thumbs up if you agree.

  • thumbs up if you watched this to see the camaro

  • more videos such as the one you had on the new porshe 911.

  • I'm not sure but I really love drag races. Thumbs up if you do and think motortrend should do more!

  • This sounds like DRIVE with twice the budget and half the personality.

  • @camaroman101 Yes it is. The 6.2 is close but ecoboost edges it out slightly. Maybe a singlecab 5.0 but there kindof a strip down model

  • sorry guys, but you don't stand a chance against DRIVE network. they have humorous presenters, epic cinematography and a great following.

  • @Veyronp87 Challenge Accepted!

  • @motortrend

    alright we'll see

  • @motortrend

    CTS-V Coupe Vs ZL-1 Camaro  So we can see how much of a pig Chevy made the reskined CTS compared to the Real CTS-V Coupe

  • @motortrend Thats what I like to hear!

  • @motortrend challenge Accepted?? OMG Neil Patrick Harris?? jajaja legen- wait for it- dary! legendary jajajjaja

  • @Veyronp87 FLD drives like a BOSS!

  • @ElshamyWalid

    fld isnt the same as DRIVE, jf used to produce fld, but now hes with DRIVE

  • @Veyronp87 i thought Derrick d said something about joining drive or partnership

  • @ElshamyWalid

    no, hes not on drive as of now

  • @Veyronp87 Personally, I would LOVE to be subscribed to two really cool driving channels :D I hope this turns out well!

  • Comment removed

  • You guys should have more segments like the 'science behind' one with the GT2 RS

  • Motortrend vs DRIVE, eh? Gonna love seeing these two duke it out.

  • this youtube car media thing keeps getting more serious...i love it

  • Cant wait.

  • @motortrend You can go to all truck videos you can find. And all comments are trash talking about who has the fastest trucks, chevy dodge and ford is in the game now with the ecoboost, titan and tundra. You would be suprised at what youll find.

  • Derek D

  • Epic drift by the LFA at the end. Can't wait for the videos! Keep up the good work!

  • @motortrend Do you need any drivers? I have a class c license, if you need a driver let me know.

  • @moiseswin silly you trying to be hired by motortrend. Oh the hilarity!

  • @nirvana922 lol Hey you never know,It might happen.

  • haha drive came out first, now all these other youtube channels shit a brick and went with a company who has a lot of cash. I'm still sticking to Matt Farrahs side!

  • Comment removed

  • Think i'll subscribe bringing up old news if u guys can get a hold of a half million dollar Lexus LFA an drive it around a track how come nobody can seem to get a hold of the half million dollar Saleen S7 TT???? I know i'd love to see the numbers it'd produce driving around a track an compare to other supercars

  • Thumbs up for truck comparison!!!!!!! Performance!!

  • Trucks suck.

  • Excited... Competing with the new "Drive" Channel huh? Like it!

  • Yes HRM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You guys are awsome!!!!

  • You guys need to settle a huge dispute on youtube!!! Take the fastest trucks that dealers have to offer and race them!! Extended cab 6.2 chevy and extended cab ecoboost. Single cab dodge 5.7 single cab toyota 5.7. And extended cab titan. I know thats not there intended function. But tell that to 100,000,000s of youtube viewers. Lots of people would love to see that believe it or not.

  • @Mctsep Hmmm. Thumbs up if you guys would like to see something like this.

  • @motortrend i just wait for the Shelby GT500 13' vs ZL1 Camaro (12', 13') :D yayyy the 60's real race war baack :)

  • @motortrend I want to see it. But I also want to see them on a road course.

    But I'll take drag racing over nothing.

  • @motortrend ZL1 vs Shelby !!

  • @motortrend racing is always a good thing. 

  • @Mctsep First Episode of Head2Head

  • @Mctsep extended cab ecoboost is not the fasted ford has to offer
