    Excited to see this race. It's a good comparison of straight line performance, but in the real world and driver skill, the results will vary (especially with MT). We know the CTR is slightly better and should be with the biggest price tag, The WRX obviously has it's all season benefits of awd. The N is the best bang for your buck compared to the CTR, ITS, Si, Integra A-spec, GTI, and GLI. I have a Veloster N 6MT and it's slightly slower than the EN, but in real world performance my quickest time on a drag strip was 13.8 1/4, with still room for improvement being my first time.

      @@martlodrld5934 yes and no. The wrx is actually excellent in drag races because the AWD gives it a huge advantage off a dig. The problem for the wrx ends up being weight and HP, which limit it on the top end. Subarus are famous for costing an arm and a leg to make power reliably. I don’t have personal experience with the newer 2.4L engines, but the EJ255 and 257 could not really handle more than 380ish whp before needing to upgrade pistons and bearings to avoid blowing up. In fact, these engines would often blow ring lands just for adding an intake and downpipe without a proper tune.
      I can say with some confidence that it would cost at least $12-15k to make 500whp RELIABLY on the EJ’s.
      I had a 350whp 2006 STI and I could beat my buddy’s c5 corvette with a launch… but then he’d pass me once we got to around 80mph lol
      HOWEVER, the FWD cars really have the biggest disadvantage on a drag race.

      A gti with the manual "felt" subjectively quicker than the DSG when i compared them back to back but its probably not with a stopwatch... its the extra control and ability you have to keep it in the meat of the powerband with a manual that gives that impressionj... absolutely fantastic ,mechanical feeling short throw shifter in the gti..For laughs ,I test drove before these new 23 model yrsgti's, I tested a 2016 that had an intake, exhaust and what seemed like a tune... it had a dsg also and it would roast the tires in 1st, 2nd and thru 3rd gear with 2 people in the car.!..neither of the new cars had anywhere near that much power... felt over 325 whp easily, maybe more...that one didnt look anything special, a real sleeper, but would have eaten all 3 of these cars here for lunch

    The old N still wins all around. $13k difference before taxes and IF you can find the R at MSRP. The performance gap isn't large enough to warrant $13k+ more. The 2024 Elantra N looks way better than the other 3 cars, sounds better, and you can get it with a DCT, which is the better transmission.

    3 Civic is the most expensive.
    So its kinda of no brainer that the Type R was going to win.
    The WRX ts has stiffer chassis, better tires and brembo brakes so it does not have more power over the regular WRX
    Further it would be more accurate to have the 3 drivers swap cars over each attempt and then take an average of the 3 drivers on each car to be more accurate and not biased.
    Furthermore it would be even better to see a real circuit hot lap race rather than a drag race.
