That Elantra really put up a fight for the integra on the roll race, that was honestly very impressive
Yeah it’s pretty good especially considering it costs like 20 grand less
Fun fact elantra N is faster than gr corolla in roll race
@@Courtesyflush52 Power difference too
@@AwkwardYet not by much though, if any at all. The Type S is rated at 305hp at the crank, but the Elantra N has a 276 horsepower rating at the wheels, so at the crank it’s likely closer to 295-300
@@Courtesyflush52lol that's not correct brother
N wins this one for price range - the ITS barely pulled away from a roll. I own a FK8 and the N is so close in performance and price is amazing for what you get
Loses for reliability.
Can't have it all.
It’s a Hyundai…… embarrassing.
Yes, it is impressive for the price. It's a shame Hyundai still has such a negative reputation, most of the people complaining here can't afford either 😂
@@spitfirenutspitfirenut4835Only if you’re a douche bag.
The N makes a compelling case, the other two are not $15-20K better strictly from a performance perspective.
The N is definitely the best dollar for performance value wise but if money is part of your buying factor also take into account that in 5-10 years the type s will hold much more value then the N. So you would probably end up loosing more money with the N in the long term
My friend.
If Hyundai decides to make the EN wider, add real sporty brakes, add wider tires and reinforce the chassis to remove braces that gap will be reduced considerably.
Those little things is what make cars like the CTR and the ITS have a performance advantage in the turns over the EN.
The EN is a great car but still inferior.
@@Marbindit's inferior on purpose, they want it to undercut the other cars. They could offer a better car but it would be similarly priced and then people would probably pick the staples such as the CTR. But now it offers 95% of the CTR performance for 80 % of the cost, thus being a good value and being able to draw some customers away
They actually are, especially around a track. And the Type S and R will hold they're value waaay better over the long-term.
@@jec20721correct, the CTR and ITS maintain their value quite well, while the Elantra N depreciates relatively worse.
Granny shifting. Racing manual, it's always driver’s race.
Everyone in the comments is apparently the worlds best shifter 😂
all are racing drivers
Don’t let this distract you from the fact Sam does shift slow
Strawman argument. If they found legitimate mistakes, it's fair game, as he uploaded himself racing.
The elantra N for the price tag is the winner for me
*hits the rev limiter in 3rd gear in an AWD car* "I spun! I'm spinning!"
hahhaaa...yea i thought that odd
yeah i never really trust any of the races this guy does cause its always really bad lmao
Haha
He gets spanked all the time
pretty much sums up this channel and its credibility in one go lol....
He’s shifting that golf like it’s his second race in the world. The golf will dog them off the line and the teg don’t have the balls to catch in the end if he would have launched the golf at 3k hawk even 4k
Well no shit its awd vs fwd
Integra looks really beautiful ❤️
It really is!
@@CrimesAndCosmos just imagine an AWD Integra with DCT 🤘😅
@@CrimesAndCosmos yes exactly 💯
@@mamourhassan8768 I'd rather not. 🤮
@@papachilla what not ? AWD, DCT or Integra?
I drive an EN. I like both the Golf R and the Type S. I always see the EN compared at much higher price points. Kind of expect the EN to lose when its under power in comparison but did well. The manual will be slower than the DCT but i love to row my own gears. The EN wasnt built to be a drag car anyway but still fun!
The final drag race edited out the start and Sam left the line on the first drag race without max revs??? DSG is much better suited to a heavy AWD car.
Its because this guy has a vendetta against anything VW. It's obvious how he stages his "races". Pretty sure he's driving in eco mode and doesn't know how to use boost either.. lol
That damn Elantra is crazy, no way it kept up with a vehicle that has nearly 50 more hp.
There's nothing crazy about it
The Elantra is underrated specially when is octane learned. The power difference is less than that.
I think Hyundai under-rated the power kinda like BMW and Volkswagen does.
Golf wasn’t even on boost in the roll races 😂😂😂
Hi Sam, forgot the most important info, the price! Good job! My guest is that the N is 10k cheaper then the other two..
Yeah, the price difference is obliterated on resale when you realize the hyundai didn't hold any value. Used 2017 CTRs are still selling for just about msrp. The dealer that I traded my '22 elantra n into (with 45k miles) had it sitting on the lot for almost 2 months at 26k, so guessing g they took less than that in the end.
@@vjdfl5Imagine resale value being a deciding factor for a car you buy 🤡
@Symphoniics who said it was a deciding factor? You're still gonna be the clown when you to sell that thing tho 🤣 😂
@@vjdfl5 Bruh, you are dense asf
@@vjdfl5Nice! Speculation is always good to include in an anecdotal story. In my area, a 24 ITS has been sitting for nearly 2 months at 52k.
I'd rather pay half and get a used EN at that point.
I'm glad to see the Type-S did very well... to bad it's a sleeper to most consumers except car enthusiasts, of course
As long as the enthusiasts keep buying the spicy Integra, Acura will keep making it.
@@drivescene6747 valid point
It's just a Civic Type-R re-bodied and re-badged. Enthusiasts will always buy Civic's. That's the only reason they made they Acura again.
@@carlospacheco8640 it’s always been a rebadged Civic. It’s not the only reason Acura exists.
@@drivescene6747 I know that. Not sure if you live in the US or not? Because the old 190hp Intergra Type-R B18 was the only 190hp Honda available here (Civic Type-R was never sold here). That's what made the Integra popular in the US to begin with. Thus, the only reason they made a new one is because the Civic Type-R sold well. The Civic was a test for the Integra. It's all marketing. If you think not, then you know nothing a running a business. Always remember big car companies don't really care about enthusiasts. Just money they provide. Why do you think the A80 Supra/RX-7/300zx/3000gt were all axed in the 90s here = Bad Sales.
Are you guys checking all vehicles have about the same amount of gas? e.g. half a tank on all for example? To eliminate a full tank vs empty tank difference?
Definitely
Everyone’s always mad when you compare manual cars to automatics. Then when you actually make a race with an even playing field everyone starts racing to the comments about how the automatic woulda been better 😂. DSG crutch boys losing it right now.
They're mad because he's making and selling sandwiches between his shifts or the matches are mehh. Unlike Carwow, this guy doesn't bang gears.
$20k for an extra 40hp and the N not far behind, no thank u 😅
Because all that money went only to the engine 🤦♂
If Hyundai decides to release an EN with a wider body, wider tires, real high performance brakes, more power, stiffer chassis that doesn't need braces in the trunk that get in the way, fix the ugly looks, etc
It will end up mid 40s.
Make it a genesis and boom a 50s car.
@@lefthanded5473 no need to cope.
Zero regrets, depth down all EN owners dream of having one 🤭
You dont need the brace in the trunk. It's rigid without but more rigid with. @Marbind
@@jugo5139 No comments
N wasnt even octane learned either
ITS is literally all about 'iVTEC kicked in yo!' moments in this one. Great closing disclaimer though. Each have VERY different personalities.
320 hp vs 276hp wow
@@popsandbangs8858 but think that elantra N is designed specifically for races which means it has engine and suspension has been tuned specifically for races moreover it is lighter comapared to others...others don't have specific race tuned engine and suspension..yet they detroyed elantra N...accept it or not any hyundai from technical perspective are lackluster...
@@rahulmondal3444 I wouldn't let the Type-S luxury fool you. It's based off the same platform the FL5 Civic Type-R, the same car that set the record time for fastest front wheel driven car at Nürburgring
Integra Type S comes standard with dash light that comes on in upper rpm range that say, "VTEC engaged Yo"
@@rahulmondal3444I don’t really know what you mean by the car being designed “specifically for races.” The ITS is a very close sibling to the civic type r which is designed from the ground up for track use so I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make there. Not to mention that Honda has been doing this stuff for YEARS while this is pretty much Hyundai’s first attempt at a performance car. Sure the Hyundai is lighter but it’s only by about 40ish pounds and it has a 44hp deficit compared to the ITS. And it’s also 20k cheaper. I think overall the Hyundai put in a great effort and to call Hyundais work lackluster here is just completely wrong.
So glad to see the MDX-TS/Teggy-TS actual win races lol the TLX-TS had me nervous. Maybe next gen Acura will finally give us an RDX-TS, I also wonder it they plan on giving the upcoming ADX a Type-S trim too
Every race sam always gets a 1 to 2 seconds head start carwow channel shows precisely on its races
The Golf R with DSG will beat all these cars and it's the must livable and practical car here. The Elantra is the Best Value. The Acura is good but the most expensive by quite a sum at least here in the USA.
Golf r is also better mod for mod. Shit my mk7 gti makes 530whp with under $6000 in mods. You can’t beat that. Will also make the most on stock motor. EQT currently has 473whp out of the mk8 golf r with just an intake, intercooler, and E85. The new hybrid turbo is amazing.
yup I hate how they neuter it with a manual in all these videos and claim its slower.... like just use the transmission the car is designed for (better yet, use the best version available of the car - DSG) and compare. R wins against these two FWD everytime. No contest.
@@fast2ghl exactly how i feel ☝️☝️
Can you do a race between the acura rdx AWD A-spec 2.0 turbo charge engine,lexus NX350 AWD turbo charge engine and the mazda cx5 turbo charge engine, please respond thanks stay safe.
Great video! Love seeing all of these tuners go at it! All great options!
GOLF R IS made FOR DSG, juste 0-100 on the DSG is 4 sec vs Carl with is 6 sec
DSG is boring and takes no skill to stab at the gas pedal with your foot. I have had three DSG equipped cars.
@@GTIMAN2010 blah blah blah i am not driving manual in LA rush hour
@@howled0- or Toronto rush hour. Got rid of my manual for a faster DSG!
You have the Choice between one if the best automatic or a chocolat Clutch...sad
maybe people like cars past a 0-60 or 0-100 statistic. Unless you are taking it to the track how much does it really matter? Immature car enthusiasts really just can't understand this concept. If you want to see DSG, go watch a DSG video. Just so stupid seeing this same comment over and over
Curious to know if the Elantra N was octane learn . Probably a more an experience driver would’ve made a difference.
do u not see how slow sam is shifting as well? both cars could use a better driver, the integra has numbers thatll overshadow the elantra. no matter the driver this is the same outcome you will get. every single time.
In my opinion there should race N vs VW, mostly N will win, then N vs Integra
Anyhow thanks alot for enjoying ❤❤❤❤
N beating a mk8R? LMFAO 😂
@bp8545 watch the video. The Acura barley beat the Elantra N. But the Acura walked away from the VW.
@@bp8545
Stay sleeping better than to interfere with cars affairs 🤞
@@johnnyturbo8460- like this video has any credibility lmao
@RDriver2.0 well it has some credit. Because we just watched it
Solid performance by the Integra Type S. And drag racing isn't its strong point, tracking is.
Same for the Elantra. That damn thing has almost 50hp less.
@@HD_Kerinothe Elantra N are under rated in terms of hp advertisement they make more power then what's advertised also the type S is a heavier car so it did fairly well however the Elantra N dct will be the faster car from a roll from the type S and the golf r I'd like to see the golf GTI dsg against the type S though that would be a good race
@@FB6K24Z7 "it did fairly well." No, no it didn't. Why are you a Honda piss baby?
"It's a heavier car." Did you watch the video? The weight difference is 30LBS. That's nothing- that could be made up for by having different sized drivers. alone. Absolute blinding moron
The Elantra N absolutely dogged on the ITS whilst being $32K and that's an absolutely pathetic showing from the miles more expensive ITS. It's once again a horrific showing from Acura they're slower than effectively all competitors. Not to mention you cannot get it with an automatic- the automatic versions of the other cars which have DCT's would absolutely trounce it.
I bought the K5 GT, but that N with the DCT is one fast ride!!!
The K5 GT looks way better than the N in my opinion
@@JustinSherrod1991 i like the K5 GT but everyone and their grandma (literally in florida) drives the regular K5s so you look like everyone else but you get everything included with the GT1 just wish it had LSD
@@JustinSherrod1991 I totally agree. I test drove both before deciding
@@Specialist7 Yeah that’s the only thing it’s missing is the LSD
@@Specialist7 No doubt, I have like four people that live on my block that have the same freaking Slate grey color in the K5. Killed it for me wanting to buy the GT version.
Wwoow !!❤❤love that Integra look dope
🎉
I own a 24 EN and have owned 2 FK8 Type Rs. It’s insane how similar they are in handling feel and speed.
Most turbo cars loses boost/torque 500-1000rpm before red line. Exactly why you shouldn't shift at redline.
As a proud owner of the Integra Type S, I love the results! Not only is it a beautiful car, it handles and is pretty quick too!
Driving it around town is an absolute pleasure. Smooth and effortless.
As a DCT EN owner I’ve never had a problem beating ITS or CTR. My multiple car lengths. The type S is absolutely beautiful though, I can’t deny it. It also has a better road presence.
@@ctcdarkness People aren't buying ITS/CTR's to go drag racing. 😅
@@papachillaTrue, i have a 2nd gen nsx that on e40 right now that did a 10.4 quarter mile time. it's fast. My ITS is for daily duties with the kiddo in the back. I wanted that manual back in my life.
I also own a few Teslas and they are good for dragging but not the same fun.
@@JohnNguyenVincent Nailed it! I've seen your channel, thanks for the content John!
That Acura is a monster of a machine I’m impressed and that’s coming from a Volkswagen guy Wow💯
Without looking at this, the dct version of the Elantra N is so much faster than the manual
I wish that one was used more because it would be a whole different result however the manual is the one always raced here.
Fun fact: caranddriver recently did a 0-150-0mph test and the Ealntra N DCT was over 5 seconds quicker in the test versus the latest Type R. Main reason is likley the spoiler Honda added that is not as aerodynamically designed as ths previous FK8. That is likley why the FL5 is slighy slower than the FK8 in roll races.
Id imagine the Integra Type S would be closer to the elantra N 0-150-0 test
1) It was a manual EN
2) CTR/ITS gearing isn't optimized for high speed stuff
3) The ITS will have a similar CTR outcome due to the improper gearing for high speed stuff. 4 vs 3 Final Drive ratios is a LOT.
@@Marbind I musta have misread it. I assumed it was a DCT. If it's a manual that's even more impressive because the DCT models are much quicker although maybe similar to 150mph. Also car and driver themselves cited it was drag from the spoiler causing it's weaker performance. The gearing in the Type R is perfectly fine even if it's a bit taller. Have you ever seen a Camaros gearing? That is the definition of a tall gear lol
@@ayushmalpeddi2793 People confuse tall with high gearing ratios.
The higher the ratios the lower is the top speed ceiling.
CTRs ratios are pretty high.
EN are lower
The Camaro has even lower ratios.
No way José tha Golf lost that race... 😅 not in this world!
worst shifting i ever seen
Dude can't drive. There's no way the Golf should've lost by that much. In racing, if you're looking behind, you're losing time. Sam spends the entire race looking behind him to see where the other car is. Don't worry about the other car, just drive yours. Every time you look behind, you fall behind. Just focus on the finish line
he took 3 business days to shift.
The manual Golf R does not run 13.6. They easily run 13.1. Sam strikes again 😂😂😂😂😂
@@MaxMediaGroupLLC The surface doesn't look nearly as prepped as a proper drag strip. That alone could easily make up the difference...
At 11:00 min you started golf R in 2nd gear at 80km/h but 2nd gear redlines at 89km/h… should have started in 3rd gear.
Doesn't matter. The outcome will not change.
@@Marbindit sure made a difference at 9:40 when it was in proper gear
He doesn't know how to properly drive a manual. Shame..
Does anyone know if the Elantra N was Octane Learn if not, I think there should be another run with the N already Octane learned, 23 N DCT N owner here . Btw im pushing 20 PSI on my DCT when octane learned.
Sam, the one time in a roll race you didn't say, "he's right beside me," and he actually was. 🤪
DSG Golf R would walk all those cars easily in roll or dig. R is hampered badly with the manual. Wasn't designed with a manual in mind yet everyone compares the manual.
Dct Elantra would be closer.
I mean considering I’ve walked a dsg MK8R in a roll your sentiment isn’t completely accurate. I was Octane leaned. Non octane learned in a roll he had me by a car length. Much closer than you want to admit.
carwow did a race between golf r and new type r and it won in drag and roll races so this channel is either biased or manual is bad or they can't change gears
@@ctcdarkness I walked Elantra N in a stock Gti soo... Are you saying gti is quicker than a golf r? Edmunds made a video about the 2 saying the gti is overall better and it beat the Elantra if you don't believe me, but there's no video of R getting gapped by Elantra cuz it's all cap.
I have never seen the Mk8 R perform this badly, not even close.
It's crazy how much faster the DSG Golf R is than the manual.
Is absurd and illogical.
@@Marbind Right? It's almost like they not only increased the torque but also the horsepower.
@@wolf7elite7 Boost still up during shifts + quick upshifts + one more gear is the secret behind the Golf R DSG awesome acceleration
Never did I think in my lifetime i would see a Honda/Acura be the best sounding car in a comparison. Crazy world were living in these days
IDK were you were living or how old you are but the early KSeries were among the best sounding N/A 4cyl out there. 🤷🏻♂️
Noooo way that the golf R would lose that bad from a roll.
Why they keep using a manual transmission Elantra N and not the automatic that is faster, and they probably did not do the octane learner on the Elantra N before racing.
Because they are comparing manuals.
Are u saying the elantra N is quicker than the golf R? 😮😮😂
No Sam is just a terrible driver
Awesome to get this line up of cars... The elantra n is a huge value to be 30% less and just a smidge behind
The ITS did great considering that the host isn't a quick manual driver and this car wasn't designed to be fast in a straight line.
None of them were designed as drag race cars they're hot hatches lol
@@t4cot4cticalthe Golf R with the DSG would beg to differ. That thing is a rocket.
just race all three cars at once for better results
The Golf is a the winner, just get the dsg.
Man the DSG is soo much quicker 😂
VW has always been a very fast car
I mean same can be said for the DCT in the Kona and Elantra, these cars shift fast as fuck
@@Grimesittybut it's simply not a good a transmission as the DSG which was aided in development by Porsche and has been around for well over a decade. The Hyundai DCT is a lot more clunky in normal driving but performance wise is very close
@@roboticvenom1935 clunky for sure I own one, sometimes sounds like a train coming down the tracks haha but it's helped me win a few close races no doubt 😂 I own a 23 Kona N
We all know golf r with DSG would win against them. I get it that maual is more fun and more engaging, but thay dsg is no joke. I drive an audi s3, same as golf r, and can confirm this. I love it.
DSG is for non skilled people that want to go fast.
Accessibility Mode ON
would be a very interesting race between the Audi A4 from the last video vs the elantra N vs the Golf R, All got very similar results
A3
I know it's a manual, but the Golf R seemed oddly slow here.
Drag race seemed good but something wrong with the roll races.
@@sjhudon386- ya it is called Driver Mod needed lol
I promise you mine is faster. Her had a slow one.
Sam just can’t shift
Okay good video but here is the big question. Was the Elantra N Octane Learned before the race? Because if it was not then if it was it would have walked the Integra. I would love to know if it was showing 14lbs of boost during the race or 18lbs-19lbs Because when this car is octane learned it is night and day difference! I recently got mine on dyno bone stock just octane learned and I put down 276 to the wheels! Please respond and let us all now if it was Octane learned or not.
It won't walk the ITS, stop that wet dream of yours.
From what I’ve heard it’s almost impossible for MT owners to get their cars octane learned so I’m gonna assume that it wasn’t.
Oh wow. Okay I have not heard that. I'm sure it's true though because it's hard as hell to get it done in my DCT. Which also means it would have walked the integra auto or manual if it was.
The Hyundai lost, stop making excuses.
Lets see a drag race with the facelift elantra n automatic transmission, the bracing and suspension has been improved maybe it could give a better drag time then pre-facelift? 🧐
Sure against a tuned ITS/CTR to even the advantage of the DCT.
@@MarbindThats not how it works Mr. Elantra N hater. I see you on all these comments.
@@C_Santiago7 so, the DCT isn’t an advantage 🤡🤡🤡🤡
When they switch drivers from Acura i SEE the difference,the second guy do better job than the first one
Type-S was impressive 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing and your drag racing 🏁 is fun, but track is what Honda is about.
Being faster is fun but a drivers car will ALWAYS be fun. My shot box speed 6 waiting for an engine gives me more intrertest than the golf or hyundai n the acura is sexy af and its def okay fwd
Integra is almost 60k msrp is it really comparable to EN for 40k msrp
the most hilarious thing about it is in canada the msrp for the ITS is 58k CAD, and 51.8k USD in the states which is 70k CAD. thats a 12k CAD discount for us
Bang for buck Elantra N - if it weren't so darn ugly...IMO

Predictable outcomes, but very interesting to see. The Elantra N continues to punch above its weight (the DSG would take the Integra S in a roll I bet), the Golf R uses its AWD and power very well, and Honda products are as good as ever. Thanks for keeping these coming!
If I had to choose, it would be the n. With the hopes that a tune would match the other two's power. But I would go with my wrx though. Same price as the n, but with only 4k beats all of them with 400hp at the wheel.

Ive seen all kinds of videos golf R beating N big time, why this one it lost? I don't get it? Do we blame on the car, or the drivers? I have a golf R and just dragged with my friend's N, he couldn't even catch up, even I let him run first a bit and he still lost, and I just don't get it why in this video the R lost big time.........
The N is a solid car . I'd buy one but correct I've never seen a stock N in any tranny beating a Golf R except for this channel. Lol.
Octane learned and non octane learned make a huge difference. Over 1/2 a second over the 1/4 and trap 5-6 mph faster over non octane learned. Octane learning makes 40+ wtq more and 20-40whp more over non ol. Octane learned I’ve walked a MK8R dsg. Non octane learned he walked me. It makes that much of a difference sadly, it’s the most stupid thing Hyundai could’ve put in the EN. And it’s ridiculously so much harder to octane learn the manual over the DCT.
@@ctcdarkness Theres vids of GTIs beating Ns without octane learn (DSG/DCT) and even with 91 Octane learned (Seems like you really need access to 93). Definitely one of the worst things hyundai could've done, but havent seen any beat Rs.

@@RDriver2.0 This channel is the least credible of them all honestly. No N is ever gonna beat a Golf R stock for stock. The paper statistic will show this time and time again. But here we are with another video where they intentionally neuter the R with a manual transmission and claim its slow. Use a DSG car and laugh all the way down the track as you shit on both of these FWD cars. But we wont see that here on this channel so.....
The Acura was not level for the races from the start line. It was ahead of the Elantra N
The vehicles need to be leveled on the start line. The one on the left is always further back, for both the roll and drag
Why don’t you add the price of the vehicles in here? I know you used to. Elantra N all day considering its price for the performance you get
Price for performance I agree the N is the best value. But if you also take into account resale value in 5-10 years you would end up losing all of that value saved up front in the N compared to the type s
Keep buying manuals ppl. If no sales, they will b dropped in the future
My 2024 R is a manual. You're welcome.
My guy in the teggy looked so determined to win😂
DCT Elantra N is faster than the 6spd manual. If you want to compare the best of the best of the FWD I don't get why you don't use the DCT.

"like it or not." So is we have a BMW m240i vs the ITS then who's the real winner? The Integra is not a real winner starting SIDE BY SIDE the Elantra N which is a $32K car. That's PATHETIC given its price. What a low performance vehicle LOL, and they have the option for automatic which is what most buyers will get and will smoke that Integra
@@roboticvenom1935someone clearly isn’t a Honda fan… you’re comparing a car with close to 400 horsepower AND potentially optioned in AWD AND an i6. The BMW is priced better because the type-s is literally 10x more desirable by the car community and ITS is a 4 door hatch (meaning they’re in completely different classes…) And yes, they still sell more integra Type-S’ than the 240i’s. You really seem to have no clue what you’re talking about.. the Elantra N is a great car for the money, but you’re not buying an Elantra N to keep them for 30 years lol keep reading motor trend magazines and car and driver reviews!
@@roboticvenom1935 I traded in a G42 M240 for an ITS and couldn’t be happier. So much more engaging to drive on the day to day and I’ll take the added practicality of the backseat and hatch.
The M240 from a dig is blisteringly fast but the lack of manual is just sad. The B58 is legendary.
Literally almost the same price as aq50/q60 red sport 😂 still will smoke all 3
Hyundai brokeboys only know one flavor - salty.
Can you do an fk8 type r vs the type S . I wonder who will win from a roll
I believe Throttle House compared the FK8 to the new FL5(same times as the Type S) and the newer car is unfortunately slower in a straight line. I believe the track performance is slightly better than the FK8 if I remember right…
@@justwingingit1 yeah I remember seeing that video lol. I have an fk8 and would love to race a type s from a roll .
Drivers race. They are more similar than different.
Nice video keep up the good work Sam
For the price, that Hyundai is impressive. But wow that type s is mean looking in black.
Sam, you are killing it!! The Hyundai Elantra N did very good for having less HP/Torque. They tuned that car well.
Not really
@vicktharula8317wdym not really? It literally shit on the ITS by staying side by side whilst being a $32K car what a joke
@@vicktharula8317 Spit out the Hater-aide.
@@roboticvenom1935Lol dictating the car’s value solely on straight line speed is the dumbest thing I’ve heard. The Type-S is rightfully more expensive considering all the things it does better than the Elantra, not to mention it will be worth a LOT more down the road.
It’s lighter
For a track car, The Elantra N is superior to the other two., and much cheaper in price.
I’ve walked a ITS in my mk8 golf R when I was stock, not sure what happened in this video. Also raced an Elantra N and it was a closer race. Maybe the Elantra N was tuned idk😅
You must be racing driver
You guys should let us know if Elantra N is octane learner or not since it makes a good difference
Can you let a golf r Driver Drive a golf R
i would’ve liked to see the elantra vs the golf
It would be a similar outcome.
@@Marbind similar in what way? both cars lost to the type r… would like to see if how far elantra is pulling over the golf over a roll race
@@emjhaye it doesnt pull lol.... plenty of videos online to show you that...
Sam to do a rematch only this time he utilizes the DCT version Elantra N which is 10 car lengths faster than the manual version. I believe the results of that race would leave folks who are fans of the $20K more expensive Type S uncomfortable and wishing for a Dct version of their own. That said, the conversation afterwards, as it always does, would lead back to Honda reliability which happens after every Type S loss.
I have an ITS. I know the EN DCT is faster and the 6MT is pretty close. In a straight line.
Despite all that, I still sleep comfortably at night.
What kills the EN is how fugly it is.🤷♂
This shows the superior engineering in Japanese technology.
How did you come up with that?
Yeah sure 🤦🏻♂️
@@user-om1eh1nh2w Korea weeps 😭😭😭🍼🍼🍼
@Nbaby-jjusjjoe wasn't this N octane learned yet 😂
If costs 50% more than the Elantra you dingus
The golf r shouldn’t be had if it’s not dsg
Having said all of that below…I’m awaiting the future GR Corolla Automatic in the US as a possible reliable Golf R rival…
Focus Rs? 3.5 V6s, 3.0s, Small block V8s. Relics lol we didn't have drag channels like this to compare.
Acura is the supreme one…and a luxury brand vs the other mainstream cars. No comparison.
Korea left the chat 😂😂
It costs 50% more than the Hyundai and was even on the roll, that's pathetic. These are performance cars. The Acura is based on a Honda and has weak luxury doesn't even have rear heated seats
@@roboticvenom1935 Even if it was for an inch a win is a win.
The EN can be cheaper but that car is so ugly that should be considered a capital sin.
But things dont end up there.
Chassis needs visible brace support behind the seats, no real performance brakes, no wide body, no wide tires.
All those little things add up and for that reason it always ends behind the CTR and the ITS.
The only area that is better is in straight line acceleration but only applies to the DCT.
@@Marbindat least the Elantra won’t over heat like the Fl5 the Elantra is honestly more track ready completely stock it doesn’t need any cooling mods just tires, brake pads and camber.

I dont gaf what performance specs/times the Elantra puts down, that there is one funky ugly azz car! What a mess🤣
The new one isn’t.
Subjective bro, you can't treat your opinion like facts
Many people love the look
😂😂😂
@@g0d182 says the guy who is obsessed with the FK8 and thinks it’s the best looking car in the world. Take your own advice 😂😂😂
@@drivescene6747
Nope all false claims.
I have a list of reasonably top car designs publicly available, and fk8 is definitely not on top as you claim.
●..and I always say this stuff is reasonably subjective
This makes no sense, the MK8R is known to be faster than basically anything out in the price range by a long shot.
My guy in the type s can shift.
Dude he shift quick but someone dared to say that it was a slowshifter that doesn't know how to drive a manual.
@@Marbind maybe they meant the commentator sucks. He always shifts slow. But to be fair it isn't his car so he doesn't want to hurt it and he also isn't nearly as familiar with it as the owner. That's why I wish he would have stayed in the Acura and not moved over to the vw. that skewed the results imo.
@@nvrdwn3140 Nope, he meant the non host guy.
That's who should've driven the elantra
@@viewsunderscope The elantra guy did a good job too. It was shifting super fast.
Golf R’s manuals are to slow , DSG is better
Long throw
They can't be launched hard either.
Full second slower to 60 and 1/4 mile. 😂
They are all manuals bro
Notice no camera shot on the second drag? He doesnt know how to drive a manual. He bogged to F out of it the first time.
The Teggy is by far the sexiest car there i loved the old integras too but the new ones awesome as well.
ITS and Golf R Race, The guy driving the Integra doesn't know how to drive and shift for crap. Should have put someone who knows how to shift. That guy was literally fighting the car every shift. I know that because ITS beats the GOLF R in draggy. Sam you got to get good drivers who actually knows how to shift. Dead were turning in the graves every time he shifted.
Guy in Type S is a great driver
Disagree, the ITS driver did an outstanding job given the conditions. Is a faster shifter than Sam. Look again.
In cold weather is very but very unlikely that a FWD will have enough grip to be able to take out a Golf R from a dig. Draggy still a simulation.
@@Marbind @1bojanbojan both of you need your eyes tested. Either he's paying you or got something on you that you are scared shit to tell him to his face.
@@precisionmotors That is funny. I thought the same about you. Maybe you are the president of his fan club.
Watch the video again. Others had mentioned the same. Pay attention every time Sam shifts in the ITS how it loses momentum.
He’s actually a pretty good driver. The ITS lost because the Golf had the AWD advantage off the line. The ITS won every other race
