1800hp muscle car v 650hp HYUNDAI EV Drag Race: This was SO close!

[@RockSolitude]

That might be the slowest 1800hp I've ever seen.

[@charlesstockings663]

driver makes the difference

[@BoomBox02]

I have seen many old cars with over 1000HP race on a non prepped surface and they have all eaten sh!t. It is way too much HP to be racing on a non prepped surface with not that wide semi slicks on the rear. Newer cars with less HP will beat them as they have all sorts of tech to make them stick to the road and not break traction for the whole race unlike the old cars. In saying that, i find this video to be nothing but advertising for the Hyundai as i am sure the channel is getting sponsorship from them.

[@OlavAlexanderMjelde]

@@BoomBox02 but he didnt spin his wheen when they started at 50, then he did eventually pass, but it took a long time. The EV was then in rear wheel drive mode, so then it doesent have all its powers. Maybe the EV had 300hp(?) in RWD mode? So I doubt this is 1000+hp, I would imagine maybe 600-700 "real hp".

[@BoomBox02]

@@OlavAlexanderMjelde I suggest you go back and watch the video. The wheels sure did spin on the rolling start. Get that EV on a prepped track and watch 1000HP Civics hand it a new A hole. That HQ is only good for burnouts when it comes to using its full power on a non prepped track. Its a whole different ball game when you race on a prepped track with proper slicks compared to racing on a non prepped road with semi slicks.

Couple of Bores up in chat

[@CurtisLSA]

Still take the holden anyday over the electric toaster thing

[@FarqueKnowsWhere]

If you’re not first, you’re last😆

[@CurtisLSA]

@@FarqueKnowsWhere saying you're gay without saying it - you own and drive a EV lol

[@FarqueKnowsWhere]

@@CurtisLSA wouldn’t be the only wild accusation in these comments 😆..the electric toaster thingy did smoke up the house with the Q… (no burnt toast emoji)😁…

[@NicB-Creations]

Electric cars have a huge advantage in traction control as response and torque is just instant the system can put power down to the very limit the tires and surface will allow.

[@jorgplietker6347]

Hi didn't get the power on the street because of slipping wheels, are they not warm or what is his problem?

[@spotifyplayer6906]

Holden 🔛🔝

[@slavric]

You almost melted those SiC transistors. 😂

[@Anachroschism]

I've owned a lot of cars, from an XY Falcon, R34 Skyline, RX4 Mazda, Ford Escorts, and others. Now I own a Ford Ranger, and that thing, even with the lift, will still handle better than a lot of older cars I've owned, and spent good money on, and will do better off the line than most of them too. Modern vehicle have come a long way, in every aspect.

[@daemn42]

When you engage NGB doesn't it just override all other settings and give you maximum power? (meaning, it will go from RWD to AWD)

[@redbomberr4594]

I'd like to see how the EV stacks up against modern ICE with traction control. That HQ put most of its torque into melting the tires, even with the rolling start.

[@bunning63]

You could actually used a V8 with a proven 1/4 mile time... Unless there was an agreement we don't know about?

[@MrGaZZaDaG]

Pretty cool, hsve you raced a r35 GTR?

[@944geek85]

Love the work that has gone into that HQ but how in the hell is that street legal? 1,800 hp with a live rear axle? Scary!

[@DEE-qu5mc]

The blown V8 had no traction whatsoever, that was the difference, otherwise it would have taken the Hyundai easy. And I don't know why some are surprised by the Hyundai's speed, it's electric with instant power and traction.

[@redleaderracing]

driver of the holden looks exactly as I'd expect - very cute

[@kymchaney2130]

i would have the HQ it sounds awesome

[@alakablam7901]

I had a mild 308 in a hatchback with roughly 280rwhp that was doing high 12s. I think someone might have been reading the dyno sheets on that kingswood upside down.

[@user-le5sf9tt2n]

5n Did you use Boost?

[@craig3916]

you guys do the best drag races , great fun . love that HQ what a build . gotta pick it every time ,but have to say that Hyundai is quite the fun car . thanks

[@vustatube]

1800hp is all show no go. Best to put that in the museum for relics 😂😂😂

[@drgibs347]

Somebody lied about their dyno figures. 1800hp my you know what.. more like 280 hp

[@GrandTheftAutoFans1]

Do you still get the full 641 hp if you use rear wheel drive mode? I am confused how it can still beat the other car when I think the rear motor doesn't give that much power alone.

[@Stambo59]

It would not surprise me if the cars brain decided it knew better than him and turned 4wd back on because he stomped on it.

[@stevejonescriticalthought7633]

I live 1 hour away from Grand Bend Speedway in Ontario Canada , that is not 1800 hp , maybe 800 - 900 , EV or gas does not matter , there are speed limits , on public roads , on that point I would hope that technology has improved over the last 50 years

[@GlennRae-kg8rq]

Supercheap promised him 50hp per air cleaner

[@ramajyello]

Honestly, I wanna see the hyundai run a quarter mile on a proper sticky dragstrip. It will demolish records.

[@FarqueKnowsWhere]

And embarrass a lot of big loud cars..

[@johnschifano2489]

Just imagine what the holden could ve capable of if it could actualy grip

[@normanjulian5537]

No surprise. The Holden couldn't get traction to start with and electric cars are just that, instant torque.

[@AndrewBurke-zn3bg]

Someone lied to you. Noway 1800hp. Judging by the numbers and approximate weight of the car. I would think more around the 700hp-800hp at the crank.

[@thesage1621]

I think they meant to say 28000 HP, guys. Geesh!
