Hyundai Veloster N DCT vs Honda Civic Type R, battle of hatchbacks! Drag and roll race.

Hyundai Veloster N DCT vs Honda Civic Type R, battle of hatchbacks Drag and roll race.
This time we raced the Honda Civic Type R vs Veloster N DCT. Can the Veloster N DCT be faster?

[@SamCarLegion]

For everyone that skips the video, the car was in N mode, the car was in boost mode where it gives you 20 seconds of boost. When I write down Sport mode, it means top sport, R mode and N mode for both cars. You can actually hear me say that it was in boost mode. So stop making excuses . Just a clarification:)

Great video thanks! First let me say both are great cars, although I do have a bias as I have a Type R. I thought I saw numbers for the Veloster N and the 0-60mph times were like 4.9 so I was surprised at the outcome! I guessed the DCT tranny would be much faster than the Type R but your video showed otherwise. The Type R typically is a mid 5 second car from what I have seen but a lot comes down to the driver with a manual tranny, props to the Type R driver in this video. The 10 second power boost is a cool feature. Thanks for exploring the different modes, great video!

[@RelaxAndSmokeMeth]

The 6 speed in the Type R is sublime.

[@justindube4608]

Honestly, kudos to the type R driver! They are so hard to launch properly and he did it consistently. Admittedly, I’m a HUGE Honda fan so this made me happy as I’ve definitely seen Veloster N’s with the DCT beat type R’s

[@davemorris6747]

As a Type R owner I agree. The only thing I disagree with the video is the Type R isn’t stock. Those are not stock wheels and tyres and they will give the Type R an advantage on launch over factory.

[@LightDeity1]

He didn’t use the launch control feature on the Veloster N, it’s much faster from the dig that way

[@supafance92]

@@davemorris6747 You don't know what tires he's running though they could perform less in a launch because I know mine and many other owners aftermarket tires do, the stock tires are very grippy. A lot of type r owners opt for more forgiving all season tires that are softer to give a comfier ride. In my case I run 18 inch pilot sport 4 all seasons. They don't grip as well but the ride comfort is far better and they last longer.

Actually alot of people just get wheels first . Because the stock tires on the 20s are not practical for most roads. They bend too easy on potholes. I have a CTR and all I did so far are wheels and tires . Why is it hard to believe the civic is faster stock? It's 70lbs lighter. Has 30 more hp and 35 more tq .

[@Glen.Black.]

I own a Type R. It is very slow off the line (just smokes the tires too much) and doesn't start coming on until middle of 2nd gear, then it out powers most of the other cars in it's class from there to the end of the 1/4. It also has gear crunch into 2nd gear. It has amazing torque in the middle of 4th and 5th gears as well.

True, however, it still would’ve been close. The driver in the Type R is a beast, not many people can launch that car that well. According to car and driver the Veloster is 4.8 and the Type R is 4.9, I can only imagine the Type R with the 10 speed auto. Amazing cars

Hi Sam, can you do a video of the Honda Civic type R vs Kia Stinger 3.3 twin turbo

[@bblessedbeats]

Imagine if the Type R had a 10 speed.. 🏁🤔

[@leonardsnart7737]

Not surprised here at all, the type R driver was excellent with his shifting, but a Type-R would beat a dct volestor any day all day

[@Refused2Break]

drag racing from dig is CTR biggest weakness and it still hold up really well... i am surprise

[@lucianomartins5663]

Of course, Honda, larger, faster and more support after sales!

[@wbwayne8887]

Sam, did you use the Veloster's launch mode and/or NGS? Those are both systems that allow the Veloster with DCT to achieve it's fastest times. If they weren't utilized, you handicapped the VN right out of the gate.

[@SamCarLegion]

Yep :)

[@anthonymccomb4782]

@@SamCarLegion so im curious what rpm did you launch the car at ?

[@wbwayne8887]

@@SamCarLegion Good enough for me. Sorry to beat a dead 🐴.

[@mustangcruisewinetours9702]

Launch Control is needed in this car. Veloster N also has adjustable shifting, and NGS button activated in N mode. I don't believe ANY of that was done. I have driven many 2017+ civic Type r, and I drove a manual 2021 veloster N, and a dct veloster N. Veloster N dct is the fastest of the 3, then civic type r then veloster 6 spd manual.

[@SamCarLegion]

All of that was done

[@mustangcruisewinetours9702]

Ok well if so then Im not 100% what happened then. Maybe Civic Type R had a few mods? Flashpro? I tell people a couple of my cars are stock, they all have a tune at least lol. Whether it's Hondata, cobb, Sct etc lol. Just my opinion I drove all 3 on same day and it felt to me at least like the 2021 veloster dct was the fastest. Also as per car and driver results. Of course I never did time them / take them to the track.

[@SamCarLegion]

It happened that the Type R is faster.

[@sharmilanraj]

@@mustangcruisewinetours9702 Car and Driver says Veloster N DCT does 0-60 in 4.8 and The Type R does it in 4.9...Not surprised at all. Type R has a higher trap speed also in the 1/4 mile....

[@sharmilanraj]

@@popsandbangs8858 I didnt say anything about times. I said trap speed on a CTR is faster...meaning from a roll its faster....

[@mitchfortson8413]

I choose the Veloster N ,maybe because I have one lol ,thx great video

[@dantheman6300]

i cant even launch my R like that, well done sir
