like i said, i was impressed with it. as soon as i saw the commercial, i looked it up on their website. it was a great car...just too much money in my opinion for a Hyundai. if Hyundai put a different name brand on it (not KIA), i could see it worth it. it's almost like having a Ford luxury car in the high 30's- low 40's. sure, Mercury and Lincoln can have that...but not with the blue oval on it.

I thought it was a completely different car they were going for, considering the Genesis is a midsized/fullsize car and the Tiburon is a compact car.

They are just axing the concept of a tiburon altogether. The genesis coupe will be an upmarket car. based on the genesis (BH) platform with a shorter wheelbase and different suspension requirements

I personally dont see anything wrong with v8's in imports, I think its cool.

JwMonE99: Wait till you see my new Propane setup and turbo setup on the Skyline engine!! Its gonna be one bad dude. Im shooting for around 620@ the wheels. Which should put me in the 9's.

Damn thats a killer. I am aiming for the 260-300RWHP range lol
Then again going to be mostly for drift not too much for racing. But sadly it might be quicker then my camaro.
But once this is done I will continue working on the camaro but still only 560-590ish RWHP when im done.

ya the 240 @ 260whp will walk on the stock ws6's and camaro's.

when i was at 300-320whp i would walk the transams by 3-5 cars in the 1/8th mile.

Drift is the shit!! esp with the 240's. there really good to control if you have any driving skills at all. i use to drift alot, but the cops got too bad to try it on the hwy, really not worth the risk of loosing my license or car. and the nearest competition to me is about 200miles. so i went with wat i have around here which is drag. I really enjoy taking it to the strip b/c it gets alot of attention

no one knows what i really have, they just know its fast lol.

Yea I dont know if you read my previous posts but I had a 300ZXTT and drifted that so this should be fun as well.

**Sleeper101** · 10-27-2008, 12:50 AM

Nah I didnt see that post. The 300 is a Better balanced car, With a Sr in there you might have a Front grip problem, Make sure you have a Really good set of wide tires on the front.

You going with a vlsd? I personally Welded my Stock rear end, I love it, have not had any issues, Well besides popping axles at the track, But sometimes thats my fault.
