I’d like to see actual numbers. jb4 map 2 upgrade and it blows the frs away in a straight line. Cornering I’d like to see numbers as well before I’m impressed.
My biggest thing is boxers sound unpleasant to me.
Also, everybody has an 86 🤷🏼♂️
You would actually have to go out and see it for yourself. Especially with me since I do 20+ events a year for the past 4 years. Heck, last year, I just did 10 track days with 10ish autox events mixed in.
I've beaten 300+HP cars on track and autox so HP is just a number to me. I don't even have a tune myself. As far as straight line goes, that's another metric I don't even bother paying any attention to as it has nothing to do with handling capabilities of a car. I'm not afraid to admit but I've been beaten by these cars multiple times. They are just amazing handling cars that you would have to see for yourself at events because those spec sheets and 0-60 times won't tell you what these cars are about.
Do you mind sharing your track experience, I would love to know how much wear you put on everything and how often replacements of parts such as tires and brakes were needed and how much it would cost. I am getting very tempted to tracking my own Veloster N as well.
I usually go through 2 sets a year. But since 71Rs are discontinued, the current top dog tires are the A052s and RT660s and both these wear faster than 71Rs. I went through 2 sets of A052s in 265 and a set of RT660s in 245 since the 265 was on backorder. About $3200 worth of tires.
As for brakes, I started off with a set of G-LOC R8 front and rear. Then tried out Porterfield R-4 front pads. THEN Counterspace Garage C2 front pads. The CSG C2 pads were the best I've tried so far last year and I'd buy them again. BUT they were also the most expensive as they costed $450 for the front set.
This is all an EXTREME example of how last year went for me. Normal people do 2, maybe 3 track days a year. Meanwhile, I did 10 with about 10ish autox events mixed in. If you do 2 or 3, it won't be this expensive. Say $1200 worth of tire and $600ish for brakes would be fine.
