ElantraClub - For Elantra Owners and Enthusiasts _ The Racing Zone _ First autox of the year.

Posted by: slowgls May 22 2016, 09:20 PM

Today was the first race of the year. Took the elantra out for it first time. I do have to say I'm impressed with the car. With the wheels and tires it puts me in stf . Other then that it's stock. The car is very neutral, pushes a bit then the rear comes around. Really need a bit more power, just can't get out of the corner. More to come.....

That's right, y'all finally got moved to ST-Fat where it belongs!

Here was the previous weekend at Wilmington's fastest run. Hit the top of 2nd 3 times on this run. With the higher rev limit that puts me at 68mph.

Yep stf, lol still not going to do any better. It is better then Hs. I keep the car in 2nd, it seem to be the happiest there, in drive the car keep shifting up and down. I did get a video of my fast non coned run. As you can hear the tires do run a bit in the corners. The next step is going to be the touring rear sway i think. Lol.

Hey Bob, Look at this awesome picture. Both right wheels are off the ground.

Does the HD deal with understeer followed by snap oversteer like the XD's?

Not really, it's just neutral. It pushes a bit , but not to bad. The rear just follows the front. It's kInda weird. Lol if that makes sense.
