All the newer muscle cars are just too big for my taste. The challenger is a monstrocity and gt500 is too big and Im not sure about the Camaro yet. But they are all so big.
I know the challenger looks cool, but is huge. The camaro is pretty portly too with the V8 and is a bit pricey. I just can't see getting the V6 for the same price as a mustang. I'm kind of interested in the gencoupe, V6 with 310hp, but only 270ft-lbs. I'm not sure about its looks yet-looks good in some angles. It should handle good and get decent mileage. I'm not sure about the stang, it looks like people are'nt getting that good of mileage compared to the other cars. I just saw an ad for the G8 GT. I know they are a little pricey and big, but I just saw an ad for $5500 off and people are getting them right around invoice. AT that price, I may check one out. I hear they get decent mileage on the highway, but not in town, but you will need snow tires in the winter if you get the 19's.
If you're interested in the Genesis Coupe, buy the turbo-4, trust me. There will be an ass-load of aftermarket support for it, and it'll only be an intake/tune/exhaust away from yanking the V6 car. The tuners aren't gonna touch that sixxer.....
Well I want the six for several reason. First, its a fairly heavy car and the six will move it along nicely out of the box (been reports of 0-60 in around 5.7), while the 4 will be slow without mods and still have turbo lag when modded. As for the 6 not being moddable, there are already dynos of 35-40 hp with just bolt-ons (intake, header, cat-back), although a little pricey for the foreign stuff until the local tuners start making parts. Plus they've already put superchargers on them in Korea and getting around 420hp with rumors of TT in development.
Well, the turbo-4 has several advantages. It's a quite a bit lighter, so it won't be too much slower than the sixxer. It will also undoubtedly handle better. It will be much more mod friendly out of the box, and at a cheaper price. And since it's FI from the factory, it'll support boost a lot easier. The V6 car will have the same problems as the Z car- high compression and iffy cylinder wall thickness. And the turbo lag won't be an issue. It is all but eliminated on modern turboed cars. Besides, you can rest assured the turbo will be fairly small from the factory. Just my .02....
