Car and Driver took a 2023 Elantra N with the DCT to a 13.4 sec @ 106 mph 1/4 mile
But to be fair, that car is also over $35,000 - the 2025 model would be $36,600 with that option
Also, they tested a 2024, if you optioned out a 2025 (like the other cars in the test), you'd be at 44k once you got the performance pack stuff like the active ehxaust, better tires, yadda yaddda (between the price increase for the new model year and Ford changing how you can selection options...
Kind of dumb to us a manual for the rest of them, would like to see the Hyundai as an auto
and man the WRX still has no balls. Crappy launch and no top end
Except, it's pretty well proven that you can supercharge a Coyote, keep it at a certain power/timing/boost level, and it will last a long time. Plenty of people with 100k on supercharged engines. Ford warranties the new ones with a blower for 3/36k.
You can blow up a GT500 engine. You can blow...
I used to buy a brand new car ever year, or every other year. Manufacturer discounts, etc, I still lost my ass every time. Took me 7 cars and who knows how much money to figure out not to do that.
Yikes
Here's the most expensive ones within 200 miles of me
I just build a 2024 convertible GT with the performance package, high premium, magnaride, and active exhuast and it was 67,200
That whopping 10/15lb-ft below 4k? You're not there very long anyway.
What I'm saying is the stock S650 is going to be way closer to the tuned S550 from the factory, so you won't see much of an improvement. It's more aggressive of a tune than the S550's came with.
You think there's a half a second in the trans tune on a stock car? That's pretty optimistic. Like Hellcat levels of gain with a trans tune. Maybe one day we'll see.
