Get that Elantra N a 4in Intake, TIP, Exhaust/DP/GPF Delete and a good tune and bring it back!

Exactly. I'm happy Hyundai are willing to make sporty cars for us guys trying to avoid electric cars, but no denying that the FD beats the Elantra N every day of the week.

You guys should do a new series where you get a fast car and a slow car and you give the slow car a really big advantage and call it chase is a race or something like that ex you get like a 2000 hp car and pair it up with a 300 hp car. It would be cool seeing the fast car chasing down the slow car
Right? Stock they claim 276hp, but all the Japanese auto makers had that agreement not to make anything over 276hp, but in reality most of them were pushing 300hp stock, if not a bit more.
The EN is a fenomenal car for the price. I have a 6 mt 22 EN and I'll be ripping through twisties like there's no tomorrow. The EN shines at a track (not a drag strip). I get smoke by faster cars on straights at times but as soon as a curvy road pops up, well is a different story👌.
I had a FD RX7 and just like you boys, there were many embarrassed Nissan, and Porsche drivers that I smoked with that car, stock. Rotaries have always been underestimated, and whenever they kicked butt on the track, the racing series would always add a weight penalty, and then STILL lose to the rotaries, with the rotaries winning countless IMSA and SCCA Championships, RX8 also won an IMSA championship. . . So when the rotary Mazda 767 beat the best from Porsche, Jaguar, Peugeot, Mercedes at LeMans, they banned the rotary from the top LeMans class forever. I am grinning from ear to ear here.

Slow races are always more entertaining.
I hope to see more old vs new in This vs That. It shows how much progress cars have made, having a bit less power but more performance
Oh my god these "low hp" cars going at it is actually soo damn cool to watch!
Its probably more enjoying because you can hook the tires and it doesnt break half the time like the crazy 10.000hp ones
More fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow
