    Roncar brought in a genuine JDM hero! His RX-7 is “FBO” spec (that’s “full bolt-on”) with a V-Mount intercooler from GReddy for power, a lowering Öhlins suspension kit for handling, and a twin tip exhaust for sound. But can it beat the challenger, a 2022 Hyundai Elantra N driven by Brian Scotto? It’s got a DCT transmission, paddle shifts, and a launch control mode: the best of modern performance design.

    As much as I LOVE FDs, they're so elegant and graceful, FBO with port should be rocking like 300-330whp or something.
    Get that Elantra N a 4in Intake, TIP, Exhaust/DP/GPF Delete and a good tune and bring it back!
    Hell, Intake, TIP and a good tune will make it 340 crank and I honestly think with the DCT it'll edge the FD at that alone.

Ron launched that thing hard it and it shows. I bet against it both runs and it won. I still admire Hyundai tho for making N cars in a world getting filled with crappy electric cars.

    Love this video and I definitely give the edge to the thousand pound lighter, slightly tuned FD! But i got a ride along in that exact Hyundai at last years Gridlife Midwest Fest with IMSA driver Taylor Hagler in the driver's seat and mu equally tubby buddy in the back seat for a few laps around Gingerman raceway. That Hyundai is no joke. It might not be a giant killer but it is LEGIT!!!

    The 280hp could be accurate as the FD weighs like 2400lbs or something. The Elantra is like 3400lbs.

      FD should be around 2,750 with half a tank of fuel. A lighter exhaust and lightweight battery and it's very easy to get them under 2,700 lbs.

    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

    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. FYI, i have owned seven rotary Mazdas, one RX-3, two RX-4; all three generations of RX7 including my Racing Beat-built Race RX7 that did 185mph on the banking at Pocono. And my 2008 40th Anniversary Edition RX8 with performance mods that is worth 50% more now than what I paid for it back in 2008. Cheers
