Going to cover out of pocket and see what the hit to rates might be if I make a claim. We’re currently under market rate for our 3 cars and I’d rather not rock the boat if I don’t have to

I haven't used mine in about 40 years, so I would not hesitate to use it for something like this. To each their own, though.

You have to give credit where credit is due. BMW does it well. M3 CS is an amazing vehicle 👍

It does. I also suspect there are some shenanigans going on in this video.

That's already a given, and mentioned in the video. It's also way more expensive to fuel and maintain. That's what makes the Ioniq 5 N so awesome, there are not many cars that can compete with it that are not near supercar performance and pricing

Well one of the things I noticed is he had the Hyundai in Hyundai's version of "manual mode". That slows down the car a lot. Also the races were all rolling races where the M3 didn't have to deal with traction
