Yeah, I thought he could have done a little better.

[@kuvyoghmoobamelica6883]

It's either these guys don't know how to brake boost and launch or it's probably because they couldn't do it because it wasn't their cars.

Ummmm, it lost by a bus lengths. lol 😂 also BMW has way better tuning potential and track worthy suspension. Even if the g70 is slightly faster from a roll, it is way slower from a real drag race, doesn’t have the suspension not transmission tuning as the BMW and is ultimately a Hyundai that will depreciate like last years iPhone.

[@theepsilonprogram7126]

literally, the races could be so much more interesting if he just matched the cars correctly, but his content is very much quantity>quality so I don't think he wants to spend any more time than he needs to. it's far from the worst it could be, but it could be much better.

​@blu_is500 yes he does. Hes been using the same drag strip races for years and used to do 3 way races ALL THE TIME until he figured he can get more minutes in on each video doing it this method, which is stupid af. Just to get youtube ads

[@Average_Bruh]

This is weird. Multiple roll races. And it's the 1 drag race that determines the winner? There should at least be the best of 3 because launches aren't always perfect, whereas roll races are just down to the transmission and engine power.

[@Blue-moon12]

Yes, my thoughts exactly

[@jpizel1070]

Because a true drag race starts from a comple stop.

[@Jas6avant]

Yea this makes no sense. He’s still working out the kinks in the format I suppose

[@zedlopez8267]

When he had bad start with the bmw they did it again,,not with the genisis

[@Average_Bruh]

@jpizel1070 no one is desputing that. But there are likely to be more mishaps in a standing start than a roll race. As proven by the BMW in the first drag race against the Audi. So why did the BMW get a second chance but not the Genesis? Who knows? The Genesis might have performed better as did the BMW.

[@J.W.W.]

Should've drag raced the Genesis against the BMW one more time, but with a driver mod!

[@G82Watts]

Bruh, it gapped by 3 bus lengths. It wasn't winning

[@Pratagraph]

​@@G82Watts gennys don't build boost with factory launch control. It would likely still lose but not by that much. Should be about a car diff. If you allow it to build boost like the BMW with a brake fuse mod it'll gap the BMW. Kinda wanted to see the Audi and the Genny in a roll.

[@mackfar27]

Exactly what I am saying.

[@DaddyC702]

Yes exactly, he redid the BMW vs Audi due to turbo lag, but did not give the Genesis the same benefit...these vids are often suspect but entertaining as they show what results average drivers would get from these cars

[@postalpancho]

@@DaddyC702the Kia didn’t complain about lag or a bad launch. That’s why the results stand.

Not drag racing the genesis a 2nd time seems biased

[@postalpancho]

The Hyundai didn’t complain about a bad launch otherwise it would have happened again. He admitted didn’t launch the BMW correctly and fixed the results. The Genesis needed a second chance because it was done right the first time.

Thanks for having me Sam! Audi never disappoints in this specific sleeper car segment. I was the Audi driver and For those people who are complaining about the Race for G70 and 330i…. He did use the launch control. But the only catch with genesis is that it doesn’t launch hard enough like the other two do. It has good midrange torque. And reason for that is the genesis’ in house designed transmission which is slow compared to ZF 8 speed and 7 speed DCT. I know this because I used own the G70 before this Audi. But At the End all these three cars are great for daily use. :)

[@backtoshallabal6662]

I have a 2024 GLI so of course I will root for the Audi! I am surprised though because usually BMW spanks any car in their class as they downplay their numbers. Was happy to see the A4 beat the BMW!

So even though the G80 is the faster car, I'm gonna race the Audi because it's my channel. This is why I don't pay much attention to this channel. You got a better launch on the drag, could possibly have much better tires, we don't know. But it's a fact the G80 is the faster car of the 3 of them, no matter how much you want it to be the BMW

[@christianbryant5617]

It’s actually not tho.. you want it to be the faster car because you’ve been swept into the fake, wannabe lux brand vortex, Hyundai has on Americans, but in reality Audi and BMW will always be faster because they’re REAL cars with heritage and revolutionary technology. It’s no surprise that the superior cars would win against a knockoff brand

​@@christianbryant5617 wow thats a lot of hate. The real car with heritage you talking about becomes worthless after 5 years , and mechanically totaled after 10 years.

I don't know about drag racing on wet surfaces, but I guess since all three are all-wheel drive it's a fair comparison.

[@alexl.102]

The first race with the 330i and a4 was fair and to be expected. On paper the a4 is faster than all and traps better speed. In reality, turbos have lag for the first few seconds which is why 5-60 is more accurate readings of speed. No one launches on the street

[@mav3ric100]

So he loses the drag against the Audi and just "HAS" to redo it, but the Genesis having a bad launch and not brake boosting was fine with just one run? Also his "perfect launches" are just him jump starting as you can see his tires/car moving slowly ahead @ 12:13- 12:14

[@exile4ever]

The guy really didn't want BMW to lose lol

[@brandongummerson9788]

when you guys race the audi's, for the drag race do this: turn traction control off, use the auto shift and place in 1st gear and leave it, launch and don't touch the shifter. your shifts will be super fast and crisp way better than just trying to be cool and hitting the paddles And make sure you're in dynamic mode or individual move with settings to max.

[@brandongummerson9788]

Don't forget to brake boost or it won't work!

[@gordonmills2748]

First time watching the channel. Is that the same track Throttle House uses? Anyway, I've got the base BMW 2 series with XDrive, and while the engine sounds like a broken dustbuster, the car gets out of it's own way if you push it. That Audi, tho...

I'm so glad Genesis replaced the 2.0T with the 2.5T. It's so much better! The G70 needed another drag race too. It clearly didn't get off to a good start.
