Super SUV Drag Race

https://youtu.be/YLL3Wub0JEg?si=BDpY0vw7HFz0Gqam

Another drag race but a bit funny and interesting.

One of my friends had a really nice Cayman GT4 and he loved it, but someone offered him more money than he had in it and he sold it. He replaced it with a new Corvette go fast version. He recently sold the Vette, and he bought one of the Hyundai SUVs just like the one in the video.

He is loving all the buttons and modes. He did great at one of the recent autocroses and it is funny to hear an electric car make fake engine noises. It was very fast on the autocross track.

They should have a mode to set the fake sound to sound like the Jetson's car!!!

I like Jason Camissa's car videos. Back when he was doing videos for Motor Trend (I think) with Randy Pobst, those were great.

Seems odd that they've got a Macan GNS vs Macan turbo or Cayenne turbo or turbo S.

It is pretty crazy that a Hyundai beat everyone else, electric or not.

I just watched a review by Doug Demuro of this particular model of Hyundai Ioniq 5 and it is pretty awesome. I love the feature of the fake engine noise. It would be so cool if one could configure the engine noise to sound like whatever you wanted, say for instance, the Jetsons car, top fuel dragster, or even bubbles!!! Lol.
