Demon 340

I need to find a genesis to drive...ive dealt with a few hyundais, and they were 100% trash.

The Genesis is a very different animal. My boss test drove one and was impressed with the power, fit and finish.
In the new Hot Rod they tested a few new Camaros. The V6 went 14.2 @ 100 and the V8 went 12.9 @ 112. IIRC the V6 was an auto, the V8 was a manual. I'll have to check to be sure though.

I hear alot of that, but Im going to have to experience it first hand before i believe it...and even if it ran 10s i wouldnt buy a hyundai. give it a year, no matter what kind of animal it is, its still a hyundai. my guess is that its like many DSMs...it has some ***** when it runs right; which is only for so long..then the carriage turns back into a rotting pumpkin.

What year (and which model) Hyundais did you deal with?

i have a friend whose inlaws have a base and V6 tibby...ive dealt with a bunch of them when i worked at the shop as well. that, the elantra, and the accel are the only models ive dealt with...

Geez. With trap numbers like that, they'll be in the mid 12's easy with just some dr's and probably in the low 12's with a tune and cai. Sucks i have to had to spend 7 g's just to catch up to the new camaro. But, i luv my car anyway.
The cars theses day are bad azz. If i had the money i would also get a new camaro and challenger.

I just checked, both Camaros were 6 speed manuals.
3.5L V6: $22,995 14.29 @ 100.85 mph
6.2L V8: $30,995 (Yes they really do sell for that, no markup, I went to the dealer Wednesday) 12.95 @ 112.92 mph

31k for a 420 hp rear wheel drive V8 muscle car. lol. Don't get me wrong i love Mustangs (obviously i own one) but wouldn't it cost more than 31 grand to buy a new gt, and mod it to give it 400+ hp?

I don't know all the facts about the new Camaro, but it appears to be a better deal overall.

i skimed a C&D? article that compared the genesis to the camaro. the gist i got from it was that the only reason to buy the genesis was if you thought the camaro was either "too juveniel" or a person that is staunchly opposed to owning an american car.

And that article was comparing the v6 camaro. I admit if i was in the new car market right now i would by the camaro over the mustang. However, i used to be a camaro guy. My car is still cheaper because i bought it used but the new camaro is a great deal.
