Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

After having the Galant taken away from me, I thought a lot about my next car. I looked at a ton of different ones, and this one fell in my lap.

Today I picked up the exact car I was looking for. I love everything about it.

I think I may finally have a car I need to dyno at the next dyno day.

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Awesome! I love the black gencoupes, I want one myself.

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Very nice pickup!!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Nice ride Pete!

So when are we going to di noc this up?

I kid!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Wow nice pick up Pete! Can't wait to check it out at the dyno day!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Sweeeetness!! Wooot! Cant wait for a ride!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Nice pick up.

The GrimmSpeed shop car is a Genesis Coupe and I was able to drive it for a few days. I loved, loved, loved the seating position, the handling was nice and neutral, and nice creature comforts. But I found the clutch hard to consistently engage and, I don't know if it was tuned, but I was sometimes underwhelmed by its power and throttle response. My $0.02.

All in all, great choice for a daily driver and I'd be interested in driving one with moar powah to see the difference.

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Sweet, I've always loved those things. Should be easy to BPU that bizzatch up.

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

very cool car.
Is it running :)

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Awesome! My coworker has a red one; neat car.

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Nice looking ride. Enjoy the 4b11T goodness :)

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Nice car! I've always kinda liked these.

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

NICE! Congrats, I parked behind a white one last night here in STC.

Good choice!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Cool, first mods, swap that front grille out and black out the headlights!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Nice! Can't wait to see it, hopefully I can make the dyno day.

Auto or manual tranny?

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Looks nice! I was unaware they used the 4b11 motor.

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

looks good man!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments. This car is going to be my daily driver for the most part. Simple mods will be done.

Shawn - Thats one of the ideas for simple mods ;)

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Yep. Different from the X 4b11 as I believe they have a full open deck design amongst other things. I think also head design, cams, turbo, mani...lol. Well lots of differences, but same basic block :) I've honestly never really looked into specifics.

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Not much in common with the Evo X 4B11T other than the "4B11" designation; it's more closely related to the Lancer block being open-deck as you mentioned. The head is a unique Hyundai design independent of Mitsubishi's head designs.

Which transmission, Pete?

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Ooooo a new black dragon, fuggin secksay!!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Nice ride, are you gonna rice it up? hahaha

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Looks nice! Congrats!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

I'm assuming auto... there is a "P" in one of the pictures

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Very nice Pete!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

You so clever ;) I missed it, thanks.

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Bingo.

Allow me a minute to put my flame suit on.

Yes, its an automatic. Anyone who knows my history with cars knows that I've only owned 2 (now 3) cars in my life. I bought this as a daily driver. Its fun as hell to drive, but its still my DD. I was looking for something reliable, something fun, something a little out of the norm.

This is the reason why my Galant had many exterior mods, but no major drivetrain mods. Hence my nickname, Ricer Pete.

A project car may develop sometime in the future, but not right now.

Call me lame, dumb, or whatever, its fine. Just don't expect anything in return if you come begging me for tires or an alignment. :)

And yes, its an auto, but I can still break the ass end out with traction control on. ;)

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

When I see it, it shall receive a hump!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Why hate? Auto's aren't terrible, just not as fun and fuel efficiant as a 5 spd.

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Loving it, nice choice Pete!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

That looks awesome. No auto hate here, we aren't in the 90s anymore autos are really nice in newer cars.

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

ha, pretty much the same reason I got a WRX with an Auto. Well, that and I didn't want to hear the bitching from wifey cause she didn't know how to drive it. LOL
