Genesis Coupe: 279 on the Dyno

That 2.0 turbo is hyundai's version of mitsu and dodge's current turbo used in the evo and srt4 respectfully. Ought to be a high level of parts interchange. Only a fool would take the six

That's what I was thinking. Plus the four is probably lighter.

Comparing that to teh RX 8 Is a Joke...Talk about a car that has no Feel of anything...It felt Flat when I drove it...like it wasnt goign anywhere...and the Rear end would chatter everytime I chirped 2nd or tried to get the ass end to slide out.

350Z is a nice car to drive in stock form...Dunno about the 370z Yet but THere nice looking...And as far as the Genesis...I like it, I'd def rock one.

The RX8 is kinda underpowered but WTH it is a rotary...Not known for their torque. The fact that you couldn't induce oversteer with the throttle is attributed to the tight chassis and has made it quite popular with the SCCA racing crowd.

My 350Z didn't hang it out to well either. These kinds of sports cars take a roadracing technique similar to a 125 or 250 GP bike. Wide cornering arc to keep us speed and maximize mid corner, keep it in line and driving forward as opposed to the front end heavy American muscle cars that are best when using all that extra HP spinning the rear to finish a corner ala Superbikes....
