I’d never consider the FWD turbo if the RWD V8 was an option but Hyundai is trying very hard these days and I have to admit that I’m a fan. The N cars are super cool.
I test drove an EN yesterday and was very surprised at the overall quality & comfort of the interior. It's something that just cannot be conveyed over a video. Was expecting the ride and seats to be uncomfortably stiff. Especially after driving the GTI and WRX, my expectations for the EN were pretty low. To tell the truth, I couldn't believe how well it handled bumps on the road. Also, the seat comfort (both front and back) was extremely good. Would highly recommend anyone looking into cars around this price range to sit in, and drive all the options.
You were impressed because you have low expectations. Quality is not a word I would use to define Hyundai product. Value would be more suitable for Hyundai products. I’m just going to assume this is your first new car.
@@postalpancho Also, you're right. The EN is the first new car I've EVER been in. Coming from a Flintstonemobile, I have never been in anything with functioning A/C let alone a windshield 🤯. Obviously I know nothing and the insight I give is worth about as much as the gum on the bottom of my shoe. I might as well give up before I hit rock bottom.
@@chrishuber8930 jeez, Hyundai owners are the new version of “Honda Vtec yo”. Why you kids so triggered? Saying Hyundai is a value brand is not news. It isn’t a BMW and it’s not trying to be, the Elantra is a sporty econobox. Why is it offensive to point out the obvious? Don’t get your panties in a bunch. Definitely not my cup of tea, but if you’re okay with Walmart grade interior then that’s cool. You do you.
I had a 2011 (same gen) Elantra. That thing is indestructible. 3 accidents, 2 airbag deployments, thoroughly abused. Still drove like new. Zero issue other than collision repairs. Now I'm driving a Genesis. #upgrade
6:43 tip during the roll races for a car to have optimal acceleration it needs to be in the correct gear. The Elantra upshifted twice on that roll race and the Charger got the jump because the elantra had to downshift again to get back into its power band. 2nd gear is the universal sweet spot for most cars at 50km/h
ngl definitely earned my sub because you talked about the specs, and then got straight to the racing instead of a 40 minute intro, then talking about the specs for another half hour and 2 mins of actual racing. Love it
That is truly impressive for an Elantra it has absolutely no business going up against that charger but it's hanging with it bettee than it needs to be
A lower motor mount completely removes wheel hop entirely. The factory one is basically a rubber band to lower NVH and it causes the motor to shake which moves the trans and let's the wheels move forward and back as the axle moves. A lower motor mount removes this and the car just spins flat instead.
Another option is replacing the rubber bushings rather than the entire mount. A harder bushing material significantly reduces wheel hop but still dampens the more extreme vibrations. The stiff motor mounts are great, but day to day driving starts to get a little less comfortable
I own a 22 Kona N and I gotta tell ya, it launches with zero wheel hop which is surprising because I just traded in my 19 Veloster N and it had brutal wheel hop prior to installing the Boomba lower torque mount which took care of the wheel hop completely. I’m definitely gonna add the aftermarket torque mount to the Kona as well as intercooler and intake. The N cars are killing the competition right now in my humble opinion.
Thinking about making the same jump. One thing I like about my 13 VT is squeezing into spaces. Is the Kona N a huge jump forward with the size when compared to the VT?
No its impressive the 5.7 Charger didn't lose badly. They are really quite terrible 0-60 and 1/4 mile performers for pony cars. Until you get into the 392 or above models they are quite slow. Most of the 5.7L variants are a low 14 car stock.
@@rodneystanley1295 Never seen one get better than a 13.95x in my area, and thats with the perfect mix of cool enough temperatures for power, but not too cold for traction and a tailwind.

nah its fwd vs rwd. elantra builts torque instantly and has no grip in 1st gear while the daytona gets torque in the mid /high rpm. i guess if the elantra was awd it would smoke the daytona
@@jugobetrugo7213 AWD systems have more drivetrain loss. A FWD car has around 13% loss normally, AWD is normally 20+%. A 300HP FWD car will pull on a 300HP AWD car Just look how little power the WRX STI puts down, often as low as 255WHP despite having 310HP. Elantra N puts down 280WHP
The 5.7 is an old slow dinosaur engine anyways. It doesn't matter if you are driving it right or not. The 5.7 can only race 4 cylinders. And there are some four cylinders out there that can easily gap your 5.7. for example: the Mercedes A45 will outrun you easily.
I've been selling hyundais for 9 years. Hyundai has came a long way, not just performance wise, but technology and infotainment. The screens and technology beats most if not all makes who it competes with, even some luxury makes. It especially beats Dodge's interior 😄

Driver makes a huge difference noticed when Sam stepped out and the owner of the hyundai drove instead he walked that dodge because it's his car and he knows how to get the best out of it
Hyundai/Kia/Genesis are serious contenders these days in almost all classes. The fact that an Elantra can even run with a Charger would have been laughed at 5 years ago. Today H/K/G is no longer a joke - they are starting to dictate things!
My wife bought a white '22 Charger Daytona 5.7, for the V-8 sound! She knows the limitations of it vs other cars stop light to stop light! My '21 Accord Sport 2.0 can hang with it pretty well too. Charger, damn good looking, heavy as hell, but still fun! I do like that Elantra N though!
the R/T won most of the races and with simple mods you can achieve Scatpack power and a blower will put you next to a Hellcat. The only people who hate on the R/T are none gear heads that knows nothing about customizing performance the 5.7 is a great engine and is faster then most of the cars on the road

Hey wondering if you have done octane learning on any of the Elantra s before racing them.. More boost quicker when you have the octane learning set up.
@@willr1796 The problem is nowadays they're adding weight to cars even with more power it still weighs like 700 lbs more than the 07 TL type S with only like 70 more hp and AWD but I've seen some areas say it does 0-60 in 4.5 sec some say 4.9 5.1 so who knows but it definitely not 4.5
Just put a deposit down on an Elantra N. I decided to trade my 21 Sonata Nline for one of these. The only thing I did not consider was the small fuel tank. It is coming in on Dec 12th. Just hope it ends up being the right decision.
You won't have any lifter issues if you actually do your maintenance on time... 116k miles on mine and still runs like the day it was built and puts down more power at the wheels than stock crank power rating.
on the streets unprepped and stop light to stop light a G70 will slap a scat pack. The only time I lost to a scat in my G70 was when one of the scat pack drivers friends got caught on video pouring some track bite down under the wheels for traction after there first loss LOL. Scat will need a perfect launch for the W and 99% of the times they will spin. If they spin.. even a slight bit it's over
Sam, again I mean no disrespect, but as a well-known youtuber now you need to take some of the criticism from your viewers & apply it to your videos. In the Kia K5 GT vs the same Dodge Charger 5.7 video, the Kia K5 won comfortably, yet in this video the Elantra N struggled to keep up & beat the Charger. However in the Kia K5 GT vs Elantra N video the Elantra N won easily (which I found bogus) In the Sonata N Line vs GTI (vs WRX) video the GTI won and you saw the amount of negative comments the Sonata N Line driver copped. This is why I feel your videos aren’t trustworthy results & everything seems all over the place, you need better more proffessional drivers or someone who knows how to shift a car at the right rpm, alot of the drivers in your videos are amatuers, surely you have the budget now to hire someone to race. And obviously you need to turn on the NGS in the Elantra N when you drag race, that’s the whole point of drag racing, is to put your car at its maximum potential not because people get “obsessed over it” But anyway that’s just my 2c
@@devn3813 Hold on guys. I did not use the word slushbox as a slam on the Charger. When I was hot rodding in the 70's that's just what we called automatics as opposed to manuals.
Wow, Elentra N just wiper the floor in its category and stand up against big guys without breaking a sweat. Sure it lost at the end but if it is my money, Elentra N is the one i pick.

@@cormaro13 why would u get a tune on a scatpack?? A scatpack is faster than the 5.7 in this video…In stock form it’s way faster than the Elantra n…n people like saying a scatpack is slow but it’s always neck n neck with an ss or gt mustang …so if a scat is slow then those are slow too…
@@djzulumask2138 I mean get a tune for the n, turn up the boost and get better shift point, it can take on the scat pack, scats are decent, I keep up and took some by half a car length in a v6 camaro, had full bolts on, and e85, thats with the scat having bolts on too
EN (and former K5 GT) owner here. When we did the K5 GT race, the tires Jake had on his Charger were nearly bald and the surface had tons of pebbles and debris. This time around he was rocking some fresh Continental ExtremeContacts on a freshly prepped road surface. He hooked up nicely and things were much more fair now compared to before.
Can't get it.. On your channel i remember that KIA k5 won the charger 5.7. And elantra N DCT won KIA K5 or Sonata N DCT. but now charger 5.7 is giving a hard time to the Elantra
Nice match up! We recently rented a 2021 Challenger rt, and ran it against my 2017 MKZ 3.0t AWD from about 50-130. The MKZ was a little stronger up till around 100 mph, and from that point they were pretty even. Curious on the weight I decided to weight both. The RT was 4080 lbs, and my MKZ 4410 lbs, both with about 1/2 tank of gas. Keep up the great content 👍
@@tylereg4764 Given the weight difference I was a little surprised too. AWD definitely looses some off its efficiency after 100 mph, but to hang with a car 300 lbs lighter till around 130 or so was pretty impressive IMO. From 50 to 100 the MKZ was definitely a little faster though
I couldve sworn on one of your older videos sam that the kia K5 GT beat the 5.7 charger, this exact same yellow one if I remember. But in your K5 GT vs elantra n video the elantra beat the K5 GT. But now the charger is giving the elantra n a hard time? I Dont get it. Somethings up.
I raced a challenger RT from a dig and I pulled quite a bit after my car finally gripped, im tuned to about 320whp. Funny thing when we got back to the light the guy asked me what engine was on my car and he didn’t believe me when I said it’s just a 4 cylinder.
That Elantra N is a kinda sleeper.. Hyundai is like the new Honda..they make fast cars,family cars,electric cars. Hyundai has stepped up their game alot. I'd go far to say they might be my favorite under dog Asian car brand
Imagine having twice the cyclinders and more than twice the displacement. And you are getting stomped.....by an economy car. Imagine if the Japanese or Koreans built a 5.7L V8 and stuffed it in a car.....

@@Soul_Flow_ it's funny because I know the pain of tire hop while racing with a front wheel drive car. I had a civic that did it so much before I got bigger tires on it.
Just needs sticky tires
Absolutely LOVE these videos. Gonna be ordering an EN soon. Plan to get it sometime around March

Nice match, this one had me on the edge of my seat, I love neck to neck races.
Interesting race! The Continental tires I believe for the 5.7 Charger helped for better runs! 🍻
I have them on my daytona 5.7 they grip great
nah its fwd vs rwd.
elantra builts torque instantly and has no grip in 1st gear while the daytona gets torque in the mid /high rpm.
i guess if the elantra was awd it would smoke the daytona
@@jugobetrugo7213 if the elantra was AWD the price would balloon, it'd be significantly heavier, and it'd make less power, shite
@@roboticvenom1935 why less power? Amg has 360hp awd a class
@@jugobetrugo7213 AWD systems have more drivetrain loss. A FWD car has around 13% loss normally, AWD is normally 20+%.
A 300HP FWD car will pull on a 300HP AWD car
Just look how little power the WRX STI puts down, often as low as 255WHP despite having 310HP. Elantra N puts down 280WHP
I have more in depth content/vlogs with the EN on my channels for those interested!🤟🏽
I’d pay for the v8 sound but the N is an amazing car though
After getting whoop by 4 bangers, you're gonna feel degraded. 392 is the lowest you'll want to go TRUST 😆
v8 sounds trash....N sounds way better and i'm not even a Hyundai fan
the 5.7 hemi v8s are one of the worst sounding v8s imo, the elantra sounded a bit nicer
lol you getting the slowest v8 “sports car” of all time ugly boat
The 5.7 is an old slow dinosaur engine anyways. It doesn't matter if you are driving it right or not. The 5.7 can only race 4 cylinders. And there are some four cylinders out there that can easily gap your 5.7. for example: the Mercedes A45 will outrun you easily.
I've been selling hyundais for 9 years. Hyundai has came a long way, not just performance wise, but technology and infotainment. The screens and technology beats most if not all makes who it competes with, even some luxury makes. It especially beats Dodge's interior 😄
Not scats or hellcats interior 2020 and up
What tech and infotainment does a Hyundai have that no one else does i keep seeing people say this❤️
@@8dtuneess342 Better customization, it’s really fast, gauges more stats than others, great smartphone integration, that kinda stuff. It’s not anything super high tech just good options and speed

@@j9yninefr976 also Hyundai infotainment system is very basic, its no better than Toyota 🤷🏽♂️ but hey thats just my opinion
Elantra N is seriously impressive. Can’t wait to see more N cars from Hyundai. Sonata N would be interesting & maybe a beastly Palisades N would also be interesting.
You should check out their latest N Day video. The RN 22E and the N74...
Rt is the impressive one
I need a Sonata N in my life. I have a Sonata N Line right now, but I know it would be so much better as an N edition.
@@billyallen7690I doubt they would make a N variant sadly
Would’ve loved to see the FK8 against the charger on a roll ❤️🫡 great video brother
FK8 should take it no problem on a roll. Only way it'll have a chance in a dig is have a front wheel drive veteran racer and air down the stock tires.
I like the pops coming out of the Elantra N exhaust. 🤩
Sam always a horrible driver... Owners always driving their cars so much better than he does...🙄🙄
What is the suspension and wheel specs on the charger? Looks fantastic? What kind of wheels/size and offset.?
Driver makes a huge difference noticed when Sam stepped out and the owner of the hyundai drove instead he walked that dodge because it's his car and he knows how to get the best out of it
Just imagine how fast the second generation Elantra N is going to be...
I’m still waiting for a real Sonata N 😭
@@moneyhunter6019 this. I am waiting for a Sonata N. N line is all right, but we need a straight up Sonata N.
Can’t wait till Hyundai release the N Vision 74 to the public!

Doubt we'll get that exact car, but hopefully its DNA trickles down to near-future models

I wish more people understood the N division that has occurred. The N cars are good! Hyundai sucks but not N!
Hyundai/Kia/Genesis are serious contenders these days in almost all classes. The fact that an Elantra can even run with a Charger would have been laughed at 5 years ago. Today H/K/G is no longer a joke - they are starting to dictate things!
That’s the slowest charger there is….the slowest v8 there is…
@@djzulumask2138 Big difference between slowest V8 charger and slowest charger lol. Most you see driving around now are V6
The 5.7 sounds so good. I'd still buy the charger.
Facts.. gap the piston rings add a turbo or supercharger you’ll have a beast
T
Gas mileage is a big factor that a lot consider on that purchase tho lol, the Hemi downs gas like no one’s business
My wife bought a white '22 Charger Daytona 5.7, for the V-8 sound! She knows the limitations of it vs other cars stop light to stop light! My '21 Accord Sport 2.0 can hang with it pretty well too. Charger, damn good looking, heavy as hell, but still fun! I do like that Elantra N though!
N is an amazing race car for real money.
Sam is hilarious with the fun trash talk
Good guy
Great channel sir
Thank you :))
A car that weighs 1,000 lbs more can go that fast is impressive.
Naturally aspirated as well.
Literallyyy
I just bought a 2023 Elantra N with the 6 speed manual.. only driven 56 miles so and so far 😻
Unbelievable!!! What's in that Elantra!!!!!
Love that cyber grey colour on the N
If the N would of had better tires it could of won both races 🏁 great vid tho love the content 👌

Elantra 4 wheel drive ?
the R/T won most of the races and with simple mods you can achieve Scatpack power and a blower will put you next to a Hellcat. The only people who hate on the R/T are none gear heads that knows nothing about customizing performance the 5.7 is a great engine and is faster then most of the cars on the road
So many people clown on the 5.7, but then again they drive four bangers… I personally think the 5.7 is a great daily driver vs the 6.3
@@thelotto1262 the R/T is an excellent daily.. you wont be next to a hellcat on stock internals but you can def be between a scatpack and a hellcat with a blower and some bolt ons
What simple mods 😂 not a tune and full exhaust and intake you need way more
I couldn’t even concentrate on the race. I was obsessed with the stupid pine tree air freshener on the rear view mirror…..Do people still do that? 😂 LOL
I want to see something older vs something newer like a Saab vs the new Accord or a Volvo turbo vs the Elantra N or something like that. Im betting these races would be very interesting

@@willriley1619 yeah I had one, an 01 SE hot with a tune on it, it was fun!!! If I can get another one, or a cobalt ss turbo... 🙄 🔥 🔥
Hey wondering if you have done octane learning on any of the Elantra s before racing them.. More boost quicker when you have the octane learning set up.
Always a good time as usual Sam! Was a fun last race for the charger! Sad to see it go but can’t wait to see the outcomes from the new car 👀
I bought the Sonata N Line. I'm really enjoying it. Never thought I'd enjoy a Hyundai like this.
Could we see that Charger Dayton vs the new Acura TLX Type S
He sold it unfortunately but that would be a good race
Acura will smoke the charger
G70 costs more than a scat. That would be the correct race, and the scat would win.
@@jayeshjahagirdar9589 💯
@@willr1796 The problem is nowadays they're adding weight to cars even with more power it still weighs like 700 lbs more than the 07 TL type S with only like 70 more hp and AWD but I've seen some areas say it does 0-60 in 4.5 sec some say 4.9 5.1 so who knows but it definitely not 4.5
Just put a deposit down on an Elantra N. I decided to trade my 21 Sonata Nline for one of these. The only thing I did not consider was the small fuel tank. It is coming in on Dec 12th. Just hope it ends up being the right decision.
One engine will have lifter issues while the other will have its engine catch fire. Choose your pick.
You won't have any lifter issues if you actually do your maintenance on time... 116k miles on mine and still runs like the day it was built and puts down more power at the wheels than stock crank power rating.
What camera do you use? The quality is amazing!
Sony a7iv - now Sony FX3
I’ll be interesting to see the Genesis G70 vs the Dodge Charger scat pack
on the streets unprepped and stop light to stop light a G70 will slap a scat pack. The only time I lost to a scat in my G70 was when one of the scat pack drivers friends got caught on video pouring some track bite down under the wheels for traction after there first loss LOL. Scat will need a perfect launch for the W and 99% of the times they will spin. If they spin.. even a slight bit it's over
Man if you just removed the engine mount on the EN, you would have almost no hop and will end up in the lead instead of always chasing.
The EN did well considering the Charger had aftermarket tires. Good job. Hyundai.
The shot of the N creeping into the Chargers view @4:49 had me way too excited!! Such a good run!
Sam, again I mean no disrespect, but as a well-known youtuber now you need to take some of the criticism from your viewers & apply it to your videos.
In the Kia K5 GT vs the same Dodge Charger 5.7 video, the Kia K5 won comfortably, yet in this video the Elantra N struggled to keep up & beat the Charger.
However in the Kia K5 GT vs Elantra N video the Elantra N won easily (which I found bogus)
In the Sonata N Line vs GTI (vs WRX) video the GTI won and you saw the amount of negative comments the Sonata N Line driver copped.
This is why I feel your videos aren’t trustworthy results & everything seems all over the place, you need better more proffessional drivers or someone who knows how to shift a car at the right rpm, alot of the drivers in your videos are amatuers, surely you have the budget now to hire someone to race.
And obviously you need to turn on the NGS in the Elantra N when you drag race, that’s the whole point of drag racing, is to put your car at its maximum potential not because people get “obsessed over it”
But anyway that’s just my 2c
Probably the best comment I’ve read on this channel. Head in the sand approach isn’t ideal when people see glaringly obvious flaws .
I love a good close race. Great video.
You should have just let the Elantra owner drive all 4 races.
When are you guys going to race the altima 2.0t
You can see the N surge forward a bit at every gear change. The DCT is so much better than a slushbox.
The 8 speed in the dodge is far from a slush box
@@woohooivan Yep, one of the best in the game
@@woohooivan It's still a traditional automatic no matter how advanced it is.
The dct is so good but the zf in the charger is just as good especially for a torque converted auto
@@devn3813 Hold on guys. I did not use the word slushbox as a slam on the Charger. When I was hot rodding in the 70's that's just what we called automatics as opposed to manuals.
I had on of those R/T Daytona’s too but how did he get the Scat Pak grill?
Wow, Elentra N just wiper the floor in its category and stand up against big guys without breaking a sweat. Sure it lost at the end but if it is my money, Elentra N is the one i pick.
All they need to do is give the N AWD or pseudoAWD with electric motor(s) on the rear and it's huge win.
This is how I felt the first time I raced a Ford focus ST after they got the overhaul. Was used to destroying 4 bangers and it was like a car behind me the entire time. Impressive.

Where did you get the mud flaps for the Elantra N??? 👀
Seems like the Kia K5GT did better against the Charger Daytona than the Elantra N did but somehow the Elantra N beat the k5GT in most of the races.
@revving_four Yeah it could be that. Different k5GT owners.
Probably due to the weather conditions when the races were done. Turbocharged cars are more effected by temperature then N/A cars.
EN (and former K5 GT) owner here. When we did the K5 GT race, the tires Jake had on his Charger were nearly bald and the surface had tons of pebbles and debris.
This time around he was rocking some fresh Continental ExtremeContacts on a freshly prepped road surface. He hooked up nicely and things were much more fair now compared to before.
@@n2productions so basically every drag race is dodgy & not trustworthy to put it bluntly
@@n2productions Makes sense. And yeah I know you used to own the k5GT
I wonder if the person driving the N is aware of Octane Learning…..
Charger is impressive weighing a thousand more pounds
it have a massive v8 whats so impressive 😅
one question Sam, what is that watch on your wrist??
Oris Aquis
Can't get it.. On your channel i remember that KIA k5 won the charger 5.7. And elantra N DCT won KIA K5 or Sonata N DCT. but now charger 5.7 is giving a hard time to the Elantra
Driver mod buddy. Counts for more than you think.
@revving_four the K5 GT and EN drivers are the same lol (myself)
The Charger got some upgraded tires and we're now working with a refreshed road surface. Much easier to hook than when we did the K5 GT race.
Elantra N is top notch for it's price to performance and also the interior.
Sam if I end up getting an elantra N its because of watching your videos. You should get commission lol
Aw man the 4 is most definitely bangin' 💥🔥😎
Nice match up! We recently rented a 2021 Challenger rt, and ran it against my 2017 MKZ 3.0t AWD from about 50-130. The MKZ was a little stronger up till around 100 mph, and from that point they were pretty even. Curious on the weight I decided to weight both. The RT was 4080 lbs, and my MKZ 4410 lbs, both with about 1/2 tank of gas. Keep up the great content 👍
That’s impressive honestly, Lincoln is movin pretty good
That’s sad then q50 3.7 kills these
@@tylereg4764 Given the weight difference I was a little surprised too. AWD definitely looses some off its efficiency after 100 mph, but to hang with a car 300 lbs lighter till around 130 or so was pretty impressive IMO. From 50 to 100 the MKZ was definitely a little faster though
