The Fast Lane Car Pits LS 460 Against Escalade in Drag Race for Some Reason
I’ve bumped into the Fast Lane Car videos a few times recently, and they’ve always left me a little confused. The last one I wrote about dared to ask which Scion was better at a road course, the FR-S or the tC. Weird right?
Nathan and Roman seem like nice enough dudes, but why make videos with such a foregone conclusions? I mean, does anyone actually think a stock Escalade is going to win in drag with an LS 460? And at the beginning of the segment, Nathan describes the pairing of the LS’s 4.6L V8 and eight-speed gearbox to “a fine cigar with the perfect gin and tonic.”
Now, I might not know much about cigars but doesn’t it sound wrong to pair a stogie with a light, citrus-toned, bubbly cocktail? As opposed to something warm and complex like a scotch or bourbon? Because apparently, it is.
Anyway, this video got me thinking about some other videos I’d like to see from TFLC. How about “Mercedes G63 AMG 6×6 vs Polaris Slingshot: Which has More Wheels?,” “Ford F-350 Super Duty vs Lotus Elise: Which has More Towing Capacity?” or “Which will Better Handle Building Your Next Dam: Ferrari LaFerrari vs Caterpillar D10T2?” Don’t those sound like great comparisons?
