Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

They sould be a solid little coupe. The Genisis sedan should be on our lots very soon (V6 model). They have been trying to shoehorn the 8cyl in the coupe but it looks like a no-go.

Hopefully they'll have one on hand when I head back to the Illinois training facility.

P.S. the sedan is one smooth motherfucker, lets just hope they dont have the same chain tensioner problems that the 3.3 and some 3.8 in the FWD platform have.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

It looks like Korea is getting the V8 in the sedan, aren't they? It just got released over there. The coupe is what I am really interested in though. I could jump on the aftermarket parts for that :D

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

good.... something to fill the void of the mitsu powered fun coupes

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

The V8 will make it into the sedan in the US also. The engineers haven't been able to squeeze it into the coupe but if Chevy can fit a 5.3L into a newer Monte Carlo I'm pretty sure they will get it done. Just might take a little massaging of the block design.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

The Hyundai guys will not say that there isn't going to be a supercharged V6 in it, so that may be in the future. That would be a ton of fun.

good looking car! can't wait to see some of these rolling around.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

Reminds me of G35/37 coupe, I'm liking it.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

3.8L+MIVEC+turbo's = less traction than a Supra!

Sure the 2.0 turbo will be easier to mod, up to the point of what the stock engine can handle (how are the 4B11T's doing in the X's?) after that the 3.8 MIGHT be a decent way to go.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

Wow, at that price point it will sell like crazy.

It saddens me to think of how many douchebag kids im going to see bov-ing around town in these otherwise cool cars. Much like the srt4 phenomenon

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

Yeah, those cost $19.9k until the dealers realize what a hot item they have and jack the price up to $25k for a base model.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

I saw a couple at SEMA.. I like it. It's a lot of car for the $. They are RWD correct? If so, 5 or 6spd/RWD/2.0 turbo/low price point = great recipe.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

The coupe is one hot car. I'd roll it for sure.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

I'm SOOOO going to get one.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

Ryan Gates/BlackTrack is making like 470whp (dynojet) or so on his, and he tracks the damn thing. Stock all the way through, cams and all. He was at OC a few weeks ago, I got a ride :)

yup, RWD and I believe a 6-speed. These will sell like hotcakes, and the insurance will be through the roof when people start playing with RWD on the road :)

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

Wow that is really cool! Looks like an awesome car.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

Sound a lot like the new AE86 that Toyota is rumored to have with a subaru turbo platform, somewhat likely to be the EJ20T and also rumored to cost well under $20k.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

Wow, right out of my mouth!!

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

Fuckin sweet!! I'd drive one of those for sure!

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
 

Awesome looking car! a ton of potensial to!

just think if it had awd. drooool.
