The build quality of the FL5 is quite a bit better than the FK8 in my experience and opinion! Everything about it is a step above the FK8! I think it’s hard to explain the difference if a person hasn’t driven both for any good period of time!

    Sam found the roughest Elantra N he could find with that 300,000 mile steering wheel, black badges everywhere and driver who short shifts losing 20 metres each shift. (see his hand fall off the shifter in the video) A manual Elantra N traps 107mph stock so it shouldn't be miles behind, it should stay with TYPER on a roll. DCT is faster again as it doesn't dump boost through gear changes, has more boost and shifts quicker. Sam also likes to get the jump on the runs... He hits the gas and 2 seconds later says GO..

      This was easily the most fake test I think I’ve seen in perhaps eleven years. Civil, and short, I know how to do. Hyundai, I have no doubt, spent several million developing that ‘N-Series’ and you slow-walked, and trashed it, horribly. I watched the whole menagerie six times, and thought, I must be losing my mind, and if that’s happened, It will take longer finding it with this channel as a compass. Outside of that, fantastic camera-work.

    Current N car owner, former Q50 owner(same engine as the Z). If you want to drag race, the Z is obviously the way to go here. RWD>FWD. Tires and a tune and they'll probably beat the fastest FB0 tuned N car out there. My Q50 went 11.71 tune only, 11.39 with just downpipes and an e30 tune.
    N vs CTR, I can't comment about the manual Ns, but the DCT Ns post faster 1/4 mile ETs than the CTRs do. They tend to come off the line quicker, even having skinnier tires and all that. I'd still expect the DCT N to lose in a roll race to a CTR with a good driver most of the time. Slightly more power, slightly lighter.
    On a track, manual vs manual, it's been proven multiple times that the CTR is generally a bit faster. A savagegeese video was recently done comparing lap times of the CTR vs EN(and a few other cars) all done by the same driver on the same tires. The CTR won, but not by a lot. The EN, from what the video shows, was only boosting 15psi, so it may not have been octane learned. Octane learning is a real thing on these cars and might account for a legit 30-50hp or something. In my testing, just octane learning reduces almost a half a second from the 0-60 alone from the extra 3-5psi boost(depending on fuel grade).
    That being said... The CTR looks way better than the EN inside out and has a higher build quality. Resale value on the CTR will absolutely crush the ENs. People sell 5 year old CTRs for the same price they paid for them, so you could buy one and basically drive it for free over a few years of ownership(assuming you could get one at MSRP). A 5 year old EN will probably loose $7-12k or something. Hard to say exactly, we're not there yet.
    All in all, as an N car owner, I'd say the CTR is a better overall package, but is it worth the $10,000 MSRP over the EN? Eh, maybe if you have no issues affording that and don't care that the DCT EN for example might run the 1/4 a little better. Is it worth the $20k extra people are paying with markups and whatnot included? Eh, no, but at the end of the day with markup included and less depreciation it's probably going to cost you about 10k more than an EN. If 10k isn't a big deal to you, I'd probably go CTR.
    At the end of the day, you could buy an EN, spend $1000 on an ECU tune, it'll be faster than a CTR in almost any scenario, and you'll still save $9,000 out front. It may not look as good(personal opinion) and may not have the prestige, but it will likely provide more overall performance for less money. The actual amount of money you'd save over an extended ownership period has yet to be determined.
    I apologize for the slightly incoherent rant, it's still early and I haven't finished my 1st cup of coffee yet. I was out late enjoying the 50 degree air, ripping my fantastic tuned DCT N car around on the local country roads. #racetracktheworld #neverjustdrive

The hopping is bad, but u need to make it hop a tiny bit, or you're not giving it enough and then short-shift at about 300rpm (from redline) which will make it boogie in 2nd. Seriously, the inhouse shots of EN seemed very limp compared to what I'm used to.

There are supply shortages everywhere, the economy is crap, so the rich people come out, and will pay any price they ask. Which is a HUGE destriment to the middle and lower class. It is typical greed and exploitation. Honda said, they sold 40% under their projections of the Fk8, all because dealers held them hostage at huge markups and refused to sell them for MSRP. What this does is artificially increase demand, for a supply that is already there, but is being purposely held back from the public so they can jack up the prices.

    Love the video. You should try the Sonata N line. Everyone skips over that car and go straight to the Elantra N, when the Sonata N line has more power but weighs just a little more then the Elantra N. Maybe race them against one another. 🤔

      Automatic Elantra will beat a Sonata N-Line. They skipped over the sonata because you cannot get the sonata with a manual transmission. All the vehicles in the video had a manual transmission.

    • @hardyboylifestyle
      @hardyboylifestyle 5 месяцев назад

      If it’s because it’s a automatic, then ok but as far as the Elantra N beating a Sonata Nline. That’s not happening, even if the Elantra is automatic. Sorry brother. It’s been proven so many times. Stock VS Stock

    • @NGSMODE
      @NGSMODE 5 месяцев назад +1

      ​@hardyboylifestyle The contrary has been proven too lmao. People think that just because the Sonata has 20 lb/ft more torque on paper and a 2.5T it gets automatic wins.
      It still weighs over 200 lbs more and doesn't have the aero, suspension geometry, gearing, e-lsd, etc. Put both of them on a prepped track and run them multiple times. The lighter DCT EN might not triumph in 0-60 every time, but will trap a better 1/4 mi in a majority of runs stock for stock.
      And it also has the superior aftermarket despite being a 2.0T, so either way it's winning in some metric.

      ​@hardyboylifestyle That's gonna be real nice. I'm hoping for a true Sonata N with awd as well in the future. Or atleast an aggressive e-lsd on a fwd platform, since it's proven to be effective.
      2025 or 26' EN might come with a 2.5T, if they decide to implement it.

    the Type R is the fastest production FWD car on the Nurburgring and already destroyed the Elantra N on a track at VIR. But if the Elantra N in this race is the DCT this will be very interesting and will come down to how well the Type R driver can shift.
    EDIT: once Sam said the Elantra was a manual it was game over, solid win for the Type R over the EN.
