Elantra N driver here. Appreciate being in this video and seeing how my cars stacks up against the mighty Mk8 Golf R! That thing is definitely advertised at around 305-315 to the wheel with these new Mk8s, such an underrated car and better value than i would say than the CTR, Integra Type S and Corolla GR. Cant wait to hopefully do some more races in the future and get some good content for the channel!🤙🏼

I have 2023 Golf R with the 6 speed manual. The Golf R with the DSG is so much quicker due to the quick shifts and have 295 torque compared to the 280 torque with the 6 speed manual. I just enjoy playing with the car with the 6 speed so did not get the DSG. I am almost 74 years old so racing is way in my past life! My Nephew has 2022 Elantra N 6 speed manual and have ridden in his car and is fun car to be sure. He loves it and keeping it stock as well to not void his warranty.

This confirms my hunch that the clips of ENs beating the Mk8 Golf R were of the manual R. Driver skill definitely could be a factor there, but I am pretty sure the DSG R beats the manual R in similar fashion to the races in this video. As such, it’s not unreasonable to think the DCT EN could keep up with the manual R. Thanks for putting this one together. I have been anticipating it. You should race a stock manual Golf R next.

Try accelerating in the rain with either of those front wheel drives, and you will regret buying one. Even on the track, the advantage of a Type R is so negligible that the outcome is more driver dependant than car dependant.

Fwd is wrong wheel drive. Mod for mod, R will win all day every day!! Money is subjective.

Fun to watch. Not an even match any way you look at it. The Golf R is AWD and has over 25+ more HP and you're racing from a dig. Also the Golf R costs about $7000 more. 91 octane limits the N vehicles because 93 gives an extra 1-2 PSI of boost as well. I would say it would have been a better match with a Golf GTI with intake and exhaust or a manual Golf R. I'd love to see a rematch with the Elantra when he gets a JB4 on Map 1 (91+ octane). That will bring his boost to 19-21 PSI octane learned. I have a Kona N with a JB4 on Map 1 or Map 2 (93+ octane) here in Texas and its a dramatic difference with 93 octane learned. Cool video!
