I love this car for so many reasons. One of them being:



I love seeing so many manufacturers offer FI platforms. Now it's just a question of if the bottom end, transmission, differential, and other components can handle what that big ol' turbo is about to lay down.

Why is that a bad thing? This car looks phenominal, especially in its modded state. People need to get over the "it's just a Hyundai" thing because it no longer applies. Judging a car by the badge it wears is childish.

Agreed. Car manufacturers had to start somewhere. At one point, people probably thought the same for Toyotas and Hondas. Just think of this as Hyundai's rebirth

Nevermind, they look like black Enkei RPF1s. Great rims.

I like this car and I'm surprised I don't see more on the road. I'd drive one.

I personally do not like the Genesis. If I were in the market I would buy a G37 coupe.
well you would have to pay 10k more..

Exactly. For the money, you can't beat the Genesis Coupe, especially the 3.8L Track version. The G37 Coupe, granted, is a nice car, and beats the Genesis Coupe's interior, but for an additional 10-15K.

I reviewed both cars some time ago (the Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track and the G37 Coupe), and, after the reviews, directly compared them. I picked the Genesis coupe in 4 out of 5 categories.

I havent seen too many modded ones around here. Does anyone know how the motors hold up to higher boost? Are the motors and transmissions able to handle more power? Basically how do their motors and transmissions compare to other cars when it comes to getting more power.
