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

Good morning, I'm Paul. Every week we get an email from someone asking us how a Hyundai ionic 5n would hold up against a 1800 horsepower Holden. Guess what we found with an 1800 horsepower Holden? We also have a clue. I'm going to do a little

drag

racing to see if the electric car can keep up. Just take a look at it, it's an absolute beast. I love the fact that the blower sticks out of the hood, that's so cool, big thanks to Heand for helping us put

this

on and also big thanks to Steve who owns

this

absolute Beast now.

If you haven't already, make sure to subscribe to the channel and hit the Bell icon because you'll find out every time a video of this

drag

racing series is posted, but I'm really excited about this. We'll put Albor in there, light him up and he'll have to hold out for the life of him. Hop in, champ, oh Jesus, okay, here we go, oh, oh, my God, look at this, you know, Paul, this is officially the oldest car I've ever come

close

to driving, so I'm surprised that you let him drive it. Put my seat belt on. in uh oh I thought this was a manual this is not a manual what what is this what is this thing one speed two speed okay here we go yeah uh oh yeah that's the smell of success I'm not going to drive it I'm fine, Ste in, no I'm going to drive it, that's cool, this is really mental, it's been a lot of fun to drive, driving supercars and all that kind of stuff, but this is taking it to another level completely. because that's a methanol fueled Holden, look at that giant blower coming out of the Bott, it's unreal.

I'm a holding M. I love that stuff. I'm going to throw them at Steve. I'm going to ask you to explain to me exactly what that thing is. So, Steve, do you want to explain to us what exactly you're sitting there with? We have one of the best Holden HQs, Kingswood, uh, it's got a Big Block 560 with a 1471 blower, just a nice simple little package, yeah, yeah, daily driver. That sums it up perfectly and just as a friendly reminder, this is Peak Pinnacle performance for Hyundai's electric range. It's an absolute rocket. We have already done a complete review of just one car.

It does Donuts, you can drift, it goes in a straight line. well, it's an absolute weapon of a car, so if you want to check it out, click the link in the description below, so what are we going to do? Let's go down using launch control here. Steve will use launch control. which is his right foot, um, we're going to go all the way to the quarter mile and if this beats the king, then we'll come back. I'm going to put this in rear wheel drive just to see how. that compares so, uh, let's give this a chance, this is stressful, he's desperately trying to get traction there, we're going too far here, he's closing in on me, holy shit, if we had another 50m, he would have caught me at that moment.

It was absolutely unreal, holy shit, I'm buzzing, the noise he was making as he approached, even just seeing him appear in my mirror, it was crazy, absolutely crazy and he showed good restraint, absolutely not destroying the tires, that was unreal , good job, Steve. It was amazing, okay, let's go back. I'm going to put this in rear drive mode now and see what happens. Okay, now what I'm going to do is put this in rear drive mode so it's now at 100%. rear-wheel drive we are now the perfect match for Steve there in the king, so let's give it a try.

I'll use angren boost too to get us off the line, but there's no launch control, so yeah, let's go. see how it's going, okay you're ready Steve, okay Leon, count on us when you're ready, here we go, this is still very fast in rear wheel drive mode, I was trying desperately not to break traction, there it is , here we go and cross the line now this is incredibly fast with rear wheel drive, although that is crazy, absolutely crazy, it was actually him, he had a better

race

the first time, so, let's give it one more chance this time , let's do a roll

race

and that.

It's where I think I could say good morning. Sorry to interrupt the drag race. I wanted to tell you about Car Expert, we are a big company, it's not just Elbys and I here, drag racing cars, all day long we check everything from Dual Cutes to SUVs and in fact we also do drag racing, but that's just for fun, go to Google, type help me, car expert or scan the QR code on the screen, it will take you to our website where you can use things like the car selector it goes to. To help you choose the car you want, simply put in everything you need and it will give you a list of options.

It's fun too, you can call them, talk to them, they will give you advice on what to buy and they will also put you in touch with one of our friendly dealers, so go to Google, type "Help me car expert" or scan the QR code. on the screen let's go back to eating some flies and racing cars, okay, because I'm a gentleman. I'm going to keep this in real world driving mode and see how it goes.

I have to try Ang green boost with us now. also because I think he'll have me here, um, so let's see what happens, okay, Steve? So, uh, what are we going to do as soon as you see me start moving, let's go at about 50k an hour and then as soon as you see Eagle's hat drop, we're going to kick him. I'm going to stay in rear-wheel drive mode too, okay, let's do it, okay, here we go very nervous about this because I think this is where you'll have good traction, okay. aore inren boost is on come on come on come on oh my god oh my god that was so

close

that was so close you had me there that was Damn unreal oh my god how did you feel behind the wheel yeah no that was good uh I'm still fighting for the traction, but much better running, it was much, much better, that was unreal, that thing is a beast, as a lover of classic Australian

muscle

cars, it doesn't get any cooler than that, let me tell you, we are in our Uber.

For today, it's an older car than I would normally choose, since an Uber smells like methanol, for some reason, it smells like methanol. Now, driver, your rating is really low, so I hope this is nice and quiet because I. I have a meeting to do now, normally this is the part where I would be quiet, set a mile time and let you listen to the cars, but we're going to do that, except Steve the mullet guy will be driving his 18800 horsepower. of strength, Holden, so buckle up and listen to this absolute Beast, oh my God, it was unreal, it was scarier here and now, the ionic 5n that was absolutely unreal.

I haven't experienced anything like this before, so I have to give a big shout out. For Steve Absolute Legend, he's with Beyond Custom and that's his personal car, so I really appreciate him bringing it here and trying it out because I mean, you can't experience things like that all the time and have someone generously. taking his car to a drag race, an electric car, I think it's cool, so summary of the results. I won the drag race, I mean, I was expecting that unprepared surface, uh electric everywhere. Drive blah blah blah, but the rolling race just bit.

Me and I think if we had a little more space, I would have absolutely gone along just seeing that thing appear out of nowhere, it was so fucking cool, so thanks again to Steve, thanks also to the gu, as we catch them by welcome us into this. week, be sure to head out here if you want to come see this scenery and take a look at the airport from the main road. They also have an EV charger in town if you drive an electric car.
