In this thrilling drag race showdown by Hagerty, we witness a clash of the titans - affordable yet fast cars under $35,000 battling it out for supremacy. The lineup includes the likes of the Ford Mustang, Subaru WRX, Volkswagen GTI, Hyundai Elantra N, Mini Cooper S, and Mazda 3 Turbo. Each car brings its unique blend of power, agility, and style to the table, promising an adrenaline-fueled spectacle for enthusiasts.

The race kicks off with the GTI 380 edition and the Mini Cooper S, showcasing the GTI's 241 horsepower and sticky summer tires against the Mini's dual-clutch automatic transmission. However, it's the Elantra N that steals the show with its outstanding performance, leaving competitors like the GTI and Mini in its rearview mirror. The Elantra N's dominance on the track is a testament to its raw power and speed, setting the bar high for the rest of the contenders.

Moving on to the next race, the Ford Mustang EcoBoost takes center stage, flexing its 315 horsepower against rivals like the Subaru WRX, Toyota GR86, and Mazda 3 Turbo. Despite its weight disadvantage, the Mustang's sheer horsepower catapults it to victory, showcasing the true essence of American muscle. Meanwhile, the Mazda 3 Turbo surprises with its hot hatch capabilities, challenging perceptions and delivering a performance that demands attention.

As the competition heats up, the final showdown between the Elantra N and the Mustang unfolds, with the rear-wheel-drive Mustang emerging victorious thanks to its superior launch. The Elantra N's manual transmission proves to be its Achilles' heel, causing it to lag behind despite its impressive power. This drag race extravaganza not only highlights the thrill of speed but also underscores the undeniable allure of affordable yet high-performance cars that cater to the inner speed demon in all of us.
