The video features a drag race between a tuned American car, a Ford Mustang 5-liter GT, and a tuned German car, an F80 BMW M3. The BMW has been modified by Tom Wrigley Performance to produce 950 horsepower and over 1,000 newton-meters of torque, but its power was reduced to 850 horsepower for the race. The Ford Mustang, provided by Clive Sutton, has a supercharger and produces 850 horsepower and 900 newton-meters of torque.
The two cars compete in a series of drag races, with the Ford Mustang ultimately winning with a time of 11.5 seconds in the standing quarter mile, while the BMW took 11.7 seconds. The BMW's launch was affected by its traction control and stability control systems, which limited its acceleration.
The video also features a rolling race in third and fourth gear, which the BMW won after its traction control system was adjusted. The video concludes with a brake test, which the BMW also won.
Throughout the video, the host, Matt Watson, provides commentary and interacts with the driver of the Ford Mustang, Yanni. The video also includes promotional content for Car Wow, a car-buying platform, and features links to other videos and car listings.
