Alright I got in a agruement with a kid at work. He swears up and down that new genesis will walk on my car. All i said was lets race it then. I got a 08 SS/TC i ran a 13.9@103 bone stock. Thanks

 

stock vs stock? the v6 is the only model that will be a drivers race.

 

if its the turbo 4 you will walk it, v6 drivers race....but if its the sedan and the v8 i think that will beat you

 

even the v6 will be slightly slower, but not by much. It is truly a driver's race from a dig. Hyundai has a new flash out already for the v6 models that backs off the traction control a bit. I think this proves that a simple tune would probably do wonders for that car just like the ss/tc.

 

I've raced the (I'm assuming)V6 several times at the strip and he took several other passes and he was running high 14's and low 15's all night. Was a black coupe. Still had temp tags on it. HA

 

driver comes into play of course, and that new flash for the genesis is a recent release, hyundai is working to get all the genesis's back at the dealers for the reflash.

 

why do you assume a v6? Im pretty sure the 2.0T is more popular because of its potential and all the modding in magazines are the 2.0

 

because the 3.8 comes stock with 100 more hp and 50 more tq from the factory and most people aren't smart enough to realize the potential of the 2.0t. All they see is the power difference.

 

those v8 sedans are slow as ****

v6 is the fastest car hyundai makes.

 

the v8 makes over 400hp and supposedly hits 0-60mph in 5.5 sec. You think that's a waste of gas? I think that's a good run for a g8 gt.

 

Stock for stock... you'll waste either car.
Modded... the 2.0T's are nasty little *******, with far more potential than the V6. I've been helping a buddy mod one up back in my old city, and it's become quite an impressive car.... to the point where he's hanging with another buddies S2 SRT.

 

Hmm ok sounds about right, looks like on 1/4mile times the v6 got 14's and the 2.0T got 15's. Really a drivers race though imo with the v6... but our NLS could help some

 

saw a v6 at the track......bad launch but he hit his shifts....14.4@96....lnf should spank it

 

Are there really that many performance parts available for the 2.0T already? I know awhile back I seen some Korean Performance Shop was building a 2.0T and it was nasty, just didnt know if the States had already brought the performance here.

 

not that it matters at all, but I test drove a v6 last week. Right before I drove the 3.8 genesis I test drove a 370z. The 3.8 I drove was the track version, and I honestly felt like both the Z and the genesis felt damn near identical as far as performance and handling. I think the 370z might have had a tad more top end, but the price was identical for both cars, and you got a lot more car for your money with the genesis. If I was in the market for a rwd car like a z or genesis, I think the genesis would probably have the lead right now.

yes, AMS, BUSCHUR and RHYS MILLEN are the ones leading the way right now for the 2.0t. There are quite a few other vendors making parts, but those 3 prove that there are big name companies getting serious as well.

 

Hmm!! As my "screen name" shows, I was in the hunt for "another" Ecotec powered car, but I was half-tempted to wait and get the 2.0T Genesis. I'm glad I got the SS/TC, but man GM or somebody needs to get to working on something for this fuel issue and other things. I was thinking about test driving a 370Z just to see how it feels, along with a G8 GXP.

 

I'd pick up a used cadillac cts-v before I got a g8 gt. Even used, it's more car for your money, and it's faster stock for stock.

 

Consdering the 2.0T is built off the same world engine as the Evo X and CSRT-4. aftermarket will be (in my opinion) much greater then that of the LNF

 

you are correct.

 

I still think its a waste of gas and is still slower then the V6

0-60 sells cars...ET's win races

"The quarter-mile marker flew by at 103 mph in exactly 14.0 seconds"

14.0/103mph in the 1/4.

its geared for luxury..not performance...ride quality and sound dampening..yes it has off the line torque..but it lacks in top end.

 

there is a white 2.0t genesis on you tube that has exhaust, larger intercooler and turbo swap that is making 361 at the wheels.

 

Thanks, my friend (maj) ex cobalt owner bought a 2.0T so i have to listen to him rant on about every single thing about it lol

for bolt on performance (as it stands right now) im not really impressed..

ecu upgrade+turbo back+intake people are getting 250 WHP and 290 WTQ. good considering it is under 200 whp stock...but in the big picture (CSRT-4/SSTC/MS3/GXP) it lacks

 

it comes with the smallest turbo out of the CSRT-4/SSTC/MS3/GXP also though.

 

what is the actual fuel issue for the LNF's. something to do with map sensors right

 

yes what fuel issue? the one where you cant tune over 400whp because of the time needed in between the injector cycle? Which is the same issue as the MS3 was having... VW's got their DI engines past that issue...so theres a way it just needs to be found.
