Once again the Elantra is a lesser car for a lesser price that consistently gets compared to and loses to a car that is more everything.

I would much rather watch the Elantra beat up other cars at its price point..

The bouncing on that runway, man. They should’ve not run it in +R.

Honestly, this is unfair if the CTR is truly on Cup 2s. The Elantra would actually have a chance on same tires.

Performance wise it’s close enough to be a drivers race between it and the CTR.

The tire debate has been given every time the N gets beat. The N will never win, nor does it inspire the same raw feeling the R gives.

If that were true then the Elantra would win sometimes and it doesn't.

Cup 2s vs PS4s aren’t a debate. Cup 2s are pretty much a cheat code vs the PS4s.
I’m just pointing out the EN hits way above its weight performance wise. The CTR is pretty much better in all aspects, outside of maybe engine cooling.

Oh it wins plenty of times out at Auto X and Time Trials in the real world with real drivers. You’d be shocked.

I would not be surprised by that at all and I suppose that proves your point.

It reminds me of a time when I was young that I would joke with a friend who loved BMWs and I Toyota at the time.. That in the best motoring standings a Toyota Avalon had a quicker lap time than an E36 M3.

Edited.

The Elantra N is probably a better value at about $12k less. That's if both the CTR and N are selling at MSRP. With that being said, I think I would rather deal with a Hyundai dealer compared to a Honda dealer from whatever dealership experience I have. Wait, I have a CTR so I'm supposed to be biased...

There's nothing to debate. Cup2 vs. PS4S, doesn't matter. The Elantra N is not a formidable rival and I expect it to lose, and it consistently does, in just about every measured test. But it should lose, given the comparative data points.

It’s formidable. Same pro driver with all cars on same tires.

I'm still waiting for the N to actually beat the R, and this again shows it does not.

You said it wasn’t a formidable rival. It’s within a tenth of a second. I’d say that’s a rival that demands some respect.
