Re: Can you Believe this is a Hyundai
Bushings and other trickery with the suspension can help with axle hop, but when you put high HP into a FWD car there is only so much you can do before physics takes over. Weight transfer lightens the front of the car and the weight on the drive wheels.
You're not alone with hopping problem. At our autocross events a stock Civic Type R runs in the came class as the 86/BRZ and I've become friends with a an owner of Type R. At every event, his biggest complaint is the amount of time he loses coming off the start line due to axle hop and losing traction. He can make it up other places, but it stinks loosing sever tenths from the very beginning.
Are you saying you only run your your PS4S tires in the fall for your Dragon run?

Well I took the originals off @6750 miles and the Michelin X-Ice's installed in the fall of 2022. Come spring of 2023 I bought a set of take-off Kona N tires & wheels, these are Pirelli 235/40/19's compared to my Michelin Pilot Sport 4s 245/35/19's. Once the Pirelli's wear out (@6/32nds right now waiting) the Michelins go back on the car

Re: Can you Believe this is a Hyundai
Ahhh. OK. I wasn't connecting the dots between your current set up and the Kona N wheels/tires. I'm assuming the Kona N wheels are the same width?

Re: Can you Believe this is a Hyundai
I really hope this thing sells like crazy and drives other automakers to do something similar.
Making an electric car fast is a child's play these days. The real challenge is to make it actually fun to toss around. I briefly drove and autocrossed a BMW i4 not long ago, and it was actually pretty fun too, but it was pretty tame compared to where Hyundai has gone with this Ioniq5.

That video was great but at $66-70K, plus the sure to follow mark ups, not sure crazy will ensue

Re: Can you Believe this is a Hyundai
Yeah, a car like that is not cheap to develop or build.
From a potential competitor standpoint, the price might not be too far off. It's pretty close in price to the BMWi4, way more than a Tesla 3 Performance, not far off a Lucid Air, and way less than an Audi e-tron GT or Porsche Taycan. Hyundai will need to show it can out perform those competitors and things like build quality, materials, and dealer experience is comparable.
