yeah, that's a heavy car for being so small. All that amazing high carbon steel should have been replaced with aluminum. Then it would cost 30k.

It is the same size as an M3 and weighs over 200 lbs less...

I want that 2.0T R-spec model! Just like an EVO rs and cheaper that the regular 2.0t Track!

So are the R-Spec the only ones with an LSD rear end?

The 2.0T models are going to be dogs in stock form at that wieght and if they only really make the rated HP. It's like the power to weight ratio of an NA Supra or SC300.

All 4 cylinders can get the brembos, LSD, sport suspension, and 19's as an option package. The R-spec one just gets rid of crap to lighten the car. I think it has cloth seats, no 10 speaker radio, no HIDs, etc. Maybe even a few less airbags?

Eh as for being a dog, they still get 30mpg. So thats kinda what I'd expect. Thats where we come in to up the power!
I'd like to see how the manual transmissions are.

I read about hyundai describing their "low boost" engine as being more refined and smoother. They probably kept the boost low to keep the power low so people would buy the v6... It even makes peak torque at like 2000 rpm.

Yea the track model says it has the LSD and pretty much all the r-spec performance options. I wonder what the black leather with red cloth inserts will look like compared to the all black cloth seats... It would be nice if they offered different color inserts to match the car color maybe, or at least something besides red.
