2024 Toyota GR Corolla vs. Integra Type S vs. Hyundai Elantra N vs. Subaru WRX TR/RS. Drag Race

[@ryan5696]

These drag races are so frustrating. Sam can’t drive a manual. Or launch. There is no coordination between drivers. No one can come to a reasonable conclusion from these races. This channel has so much potential but falls short every time.

[@sjhudon386]

They put up some decent times for not being able to drive!

[@youngbrevy]

This is exactly WHY I stopped watching this channel. You can’t go by any of these results. It’s just cool to see everyday cars racing that’s it.

[@CG-yh6js]

and he always seem to like the crackle and pop sounds better. Even when they are NOT good sounding engines at all. Like in this video. The Subaru sounds worst. you hear accessories more than than boxer bromp its know for. then the hyundai that crackles and pop but doesnt sound like a long lasting engine. The engine is pushed to the limit of its thin alu block. then the Honda. Somehow New Hondas crackle and pop aplenty and are still good af cars but they lost so much character it was known for. Then the GR is the best sounding with plenty of character although IT IS ODD SOUNDING! But it sounds solid! and if you understand ICE scaling technicalities it is the most overbuilt engine of the bunch and it sounds like it. Especially between 4k and 6.5k where it sounds somehow like a Cummins Diesel which always makes me smile. And it is the most analog car of the bunch. Everything about it feels like a rally spec restomod four door hatch. its not about how nice the interior or how fast on a 1/4 its about "smiles per curves"

[@T-bone744]

@@nmode22 same could be said for the WRX, and the base starts at just under 33k(US) with the same engine and AWD system. Both cars are great, I only wish the N had been more of an option here in Canada where it is priced higher in comparison to the WRX than in the US.

[@BDA0531]

You know what's even more insane? My 23 base WRX being 28K OTD. I could literally spend 2-3K and be close to 400 whp and still have a few grand to play with being cheaper than the MSRP of the EN and GRC 😮

[@BOOSTEDDUDE]

Wow, this was a cool battle. I'd also have to go with the Acura Type S but they are probably impossible to buy at MSRP. Something about the Toyota GR rear funky rear fenders look really awkward and odd to me. It's crazy how much you can save on the WRX in Canada. That's a 7K difference if you buy it in Canada vs US. I would imagine you could probably actually go in and buy the WRX and the Elantra for MSRP. I doubt it for the other two. The actual availability of these cars at MSRP is actually a HUGE factor for people considering a new car. Keep em coming Sam!

[@lllll981]

Can't wait to hear all the comments about how the Elantra N should've been the DCT. 😂 If you have to have an advantage, and can't be on equal grounds to win a race then that's a problem. As a VN owner I love all the N cars, but the coping that comes from EN owners is horrendous. Plus these are all track focused vehicles, so putting so much weight on their straight line performance is dumb and counterproductive to their actual purpose.

[@CTF33]

The GR and WRX have the advantage of AWD, the integra has the advantage of 40+ more hp why not use the fastest version of the EN?

[@Symphoniics]

What…? The WRX and GRC have AWD advantage, and the GRC and ITS have a HP advantage. It’s totally fair to even the playing field with the EN DCT. Plus, in the real world on the street or track, nobody makes excuses like that. If a EN DCT beats these cars in a roll on the street or drag strip, it’s a W fair and square. Plus, it’s just interesting to see different matchups. It’s not a complicated concept

[@lllll981]

@@CTF33 AWD only has an advantage from a dead stop, and is actually a disadvantage when getting roll racing due to higher drivetrain loss. And saying that the other cars have more horsepower is not valid enough. Plenty of other cars have more horsepower than the N cars and yet we win.

[@lllll981]

@@Symphoniics AWD only has an advantage from a dead stop, and is actually a disadvantage when getting roll racing due to higher drivetrain loss. From personal experience EN owners are the ones making that excuse, I've seen it too many times. And yes a W is a W, but it's not entirely fair when that W only happens because you needed the advantage of an automatic. And I'm aware that it's interesting to see different results which is why I watched the video, and no shit that it's not a complicated concept, but without fail there will always be at least one EN owner complaining about not having the DCT.

[@Symphoniics]

@@lllll981 It is correct that AWD is only an advantage from a dig. That’s why the EN 6MT beat the WRX from a roll (EN also has a bit more HP) but lost to it from a dig. AWD also led the GRC to beat the EN 6MT from a dig but the GRC also has the extra power which is why it edged out the EN 6MT from a roll. GRC has the advantage from a dig and a roll due to AWD and HP respectively. The EN DCT levels the playing field.

[@xorbitman]

You don't deserve to have a Corolla GR here. You need big creds for this. Who would be silly enough to let you race against a GR? Do you even realize how rare and expensive the track edition of this car is? Limited edition. All WRX are 15 year old technology, time for Suby to wake up and smell the java. The Corolla driver is not shifting at the proper shift points and is losing momentum and doesn't know how to use boost mode.

[@naysay5812]

That Corolla would've honestly launched like a rocket if he wasnt being nice to the clutch

[@angelomandato9439]

It makes sense the power to weight ratio alone the Integra is the lightest car of the 4 and has the most HP and torque. You have to have a couple years driving a FWD with 6 speed manual under your belt before you can master a launch, and what you learned starts over again with new tires. It's all in the clutch release - a little bit of riding the clurch on launch can make the difference. Check out the Bisimoto Odyssey with 1,000 HP, it has a 0-60 time of 3.4 seconds. Shifting from 1st to 2nd in the Integra Type-S has to be right at redline, gearing is not as forgiving as the rest of the gears.
