people need to chill about the power rating it's detuned so it doesn't hurt the sales of the v6 it actually has alot of potential once you start tuning
Lol for damn near the same price as a base V6 Mustang, you get a car that's 1.7 seconds SLOWER to 60, 95 LESS hp, .05 LESS Gs in handling, same fuel economy, NO MyColor feature, around 55 LESS lb/ft, shall I go on? Why would you buy this thing? Granted it's a tad more stylish and modern...but the thing has to upshift twice before 60mph...real narrow powerband...Mustang just seamlessly puts ya back in the seat all the way to 100...love that....like a rocket...
17.5psi? And it only makes 210~hp? Wtf is wrong with this picture? A NA 2.0 can make 160hp as in the Focus...HYUNDAI.....BRING ON THE DIRECT INJECTED SONATA 2.0T ALREADY! This engine doesn't even make as much power/torque as the ancient mustang 4.0 that everybody hated. And it's similar curb weight...
@morecowbell69 Agreed, but then why is the Genesis slower? (L-4 I mean, definitely not the six)...and I mean I do enjoy it being slower or about the same because the looks I see on a Genesis owners' face as we tango are classic!
@treadstone323 Remember this is MY opinion...don't want to dig into another youtube flame. The styling is a rip from Nissan (altima coupe, 370z, G37), but the mechanicals are poorly balanced.....for now. The Koreans are still 5 years behind in suspension development but they are coming on strong especially with American R&D centres now.
@pcfxer LOL that's what manufacturers do to save cost in engineering.... haven't you realize that some cars look a like??? next time when your on the road or on your computer, compare any car. small, compact, coupe, sedan, truck. Look at their competitors and some look like each other, their frames are whats being copied. I don't understand the "wrong" part cause i own one and it's not broken or given me any problems.
I find it funny how they compare the stock Genesis 3.8 to the 370 and the Mustang GT in a drag race when the stang is a V8 (more horsepower, torque...more expensive by 8+k) and the 370( more hp more torque 2 seater) and 8k+......... makes me laugh cause if you put a decent turbo on the Genesis 3.8 it would kill the 370 and give the Mustang a run for its money for a fair comparison.
@SuperNando92 Get your facts straight, the genesis 2.0T is 8.5L/100km combined highway and city and has 210hp with 223 fptorque. The Golf GTI according to their website 8.05L/100km combined but has 170hp and 177 torque... i'll go with the Genesis hahahahah plus the Genesis is RWD way more fun
Just hold on a little longer for the Toyota/Subaru Coupe. 2.0T Boxer proven tuner car. Plus it's on a much better balanced chassis. Google car and drivers spy photo article. Hyundi sports car? That's kind of an oxymoron...
@digitalreal007 balanced chasis?? really youve driven the new 86?? nope! noone has! the damn thing is still in concept form and it has been for years. meanwhile the Gen coupe is out now. handles great, good turn in and has a stout proven motor in it as well ala 4b11t. this things bolt ons away from 400hp and a tune away from 90ft lb torque gain. oh and the rspec that is 25k where the ft86 is claimed to 'start at' comes with brembo brakes and a torsen lsd things the 86 will only dream about
@Pube83 you know you really should read what i was responding too in the first place there smart guy. i didn't compare a stock civic to this, AreUBlem did. i was responding to him so unless you wanna keep making yourself look like an ass just stop commenting on this
@freak777power 4g engines r 4 cilinders remember that 4 means the numbers of cilinder and g is for gasoline model maybe u mean 6g but the genesis v6 is not using a mitsubishi engine
If I was a kid just getting a set of wheels the 1st time, this car would be on my shortlist. Wow, lots of goodies, so short money. Tuning and having fun. The insurance might be expensive, but maintain an A average, and stay out of trouble, this would be one fun ride.
If you buy the 2.0T, then you can also purchase a special turbocharger from HKS made specifically for this car and does not void the warranty. I think that is awesome.
someone doesn't know how to drive... HAH! 6.8 seconds 0-60? you're shitting me. Hot or cold outside, sick or well i've never gotten that bad of a 0-60 time in my genesis. 6.1 is the worst
Some of their tests are a little slow. I saw someone do a 14.7 @ 92 mph in this same car and according to the owner it was stock. Now I don't think an amateur owner can knock half a second off this time and pick up 2 mph without any modifications so it probably had a tune or intake etc but I admit 15.2 @ 90 mph is a little slow.
@mongrelchild. i would much rather have a rwd car too, i was just saying that if the tiburon had this engine it would be more competitive in its class, a class where all the cars are fwd. plus fwd is superior to rwd cars in snowy conditions. i live in wisconsin and drive a rwd/awd ford bronco and when its rwd its terrible compared to my moms fwd corolla. size probably has something to do with it too but rwd is deffinitly inferior to fwd in snow. trust me, im a doctor.
@NoxNoctisUmbra shit the fuck up eclipse is one of the best looking cars i own one its cheaper yeah is not one of the fastest but is fast and girls like it you dumbass
@NoxNoctisUmbra bullshit car? The 1st and 2'd gen eclipse gst was turbo fwd and the gsx was turbo awd. Making 210hp out of a 2.0L stock in the 90's was amazing. Their 4g63 motors are gr8 motors to built and run high boost. Only the newer ones are bullshit cars man.
mmm I think that this car would achieve more power if you just change the turbo size the tune and the intercooler , it may add a lot of HP also exhaust headers and CAI is lighter than the v6 and as they said it handles better
Yeah you right in some things but you look at the price and if you have the 2.0T with another turbine ( Garret .60, .50), Intercooler, Nice Piping, Exaust 3", boost controler and other thing you can put more hp than the 3.8 with upgrades with less money than the 3.8 I like the Genesis 3.8 but you can have more HP with the turbo..
For the price of the upgrades, you don't get anything that the 3.8 offers. The 2.0 is a budget Genesis and should only be driven by people on a budget, or by kids in their late teens or early 20s.
You might match or exceed the horsepower, but you don't get anything else. I can up my 3.8 GT with ease as well, and it'll out-max your friend's 2.0. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing really wrong with a 2.0, but it's a bare-bones, stripped down platform with nothing to it.
i would love this 2.0T car for the mileage, but i would much have the v-6 for the sound and power, and i would have to have the ltd. slip diff. you'd be out of your mind not to with such a light rwd car. especially if you indtend to drive this thing in the snow. overall i really like the car, i think that hyundai has really come a long way, i mean, in the past year they have made their first v8 car and their first rwd car.
woah, woah, wait a minute...15.4 for a 1/4 mile? that is slow.. i have a tC and there are guys that have managed 15.1 in a 1/4 mile with an exhaust only. i hate to say it but whoever did this1/4 mile is a bad driver.
The 2.0 turbo is a detuned version of Mistu's evo engine. Apparently you didn't know this. They even state this in some of the Genesis coupe reviews. Only the V6 is a true Hyundai motor. I love Hyundai. Hardly bashing them.
not really a detuned version. but that depends on your version of detuned. cuz the hyundai motor features less technology than the Mitsu Evo. Evo has the oil squirters, stronger pistons, MIVEC vs CVVT and a semi closed block deck and is reinforced. two different engines far from being the same, but similar footprint in overall size and look.
dodge ,mitsubishi, hyundai and kia all share the same four cylinder engines. nearly all hyundai cars created, had mitsubishi engines. even the genesis 380GT has a mitsubishi engine, its used in the eclipse GT. do your research.
Funny you tell me to do my research when you obviously haven't done yours. The 3.8L V6 in the Eclipse is a different motor than the one used in the Genesis coupe. Eclipse's motor is set up for front wheel drive, while the Genesis coupe's is set up for rear wheel drive. Eclipse makes 263hp while Genesis coupe makes 306hp. They are not the same motor!
its still the same motor regardless of the output. it doesnt matter if its rwd or fwd. the first gen g35s had the same motor as the altima 3.5, the altima is fwd and the g35 is rwd . the g35 makes more power, but they're still the same engine.
The differences vary among the joint motors of Chrysler, Mitsu, Hyundai. Chrysler's version of the 2.4L uses a cast iron exhaust manifold, unique air intake system, and MAP sensor, all in the name of saving money, which Hyundai did not do.
i never told you to do your research, i sent that message to t3523, but from what your saying, maybe you really should do your research. hyundai's version of the world engines is not better than chryslers or mitsubishis, its actually the worst one. theres a reason why hyundai recently came out with that ten year 100k mile warranty, because they're previous cars cars where so cheaply made they were having a bunch of problems. thats why hardly anyone bought hyundais in the 90s, they were crap.
Try again moron. Common logic. If any company's products are garbage, they are not going to warranty them for longer. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot having to fix junk products constantly. And yes, I was right about Hyundai's version of the world engines being the best engineered. Every Hyundai version of the world engines put out MORE POWER than Mitsu and Chrysler's versions. Better engineering.
And you said recently? They've had that warranty for a LONG TIME now. Hyundai is ranked near the top in quality and reliablity these days. So what in hell are you smoking?
Chrysler, Hyundai, and Mitsu jointly design motors, like the 2.4L. Each company takes the engine and modifies the design to suit their own budgets and needs. So the 2.4L you'll find in the Sebring/Avenger isn't identical mechanically or in terms of performance to what you'll find in the Sonata. Hyundai's versions of the joint motor designs tend to be better than what you find in the Chryslers and Mitsus.
i leave for the army january 4th and my graduation present to myself was gonna be the SS but i researched the GC and i have no clue which one i like more now!
both have pros and cons... SS has better performance and the "sleeper" look, but the GC has better looking interior and the "wtf is that?!?!" wen u see it.
SS def. has the better performance...but GC is lighter...more fuel efficient...and better handling...especially around turns and bends...and more tech goodies for the money...
i disagree the cobalt ss is a 3000pound car an the genesis 4cyl is 3200pound both pull same lateral g's but the cobalt is fast through the slalom and stops harder! and theirs the no lift shit feature which is cool! (but u can't go wrong with either)
I'd say the SS more power. the new SS has a launch control mode, so no guessing on what rpm to launch at. and the SS is the fastest front wheel drive car around the nurburgring. the GC does look great though. be safe over there, get back and have fun with ur new car.
Well think of it this way, the Cobalt SS, although a fun and quick car, is essentially an economy car with a quick motor in it. The style is bland and the interior is econo-car cheap. The Genesis coupe on the other hand was designed from the ground up to specifically be a sports car. It's going to drive and feel much more like one than the Cobalt. And this goes without saying, but it's a hell of a lot better looking inside and out. Reliablity and quality will be better too.
I'd pick the GC, its rwd, and much more unique, and most SS's aren't that sleeper, they have the huge curvey wing haha, but im a little biased, i own a tib currently and looking to make the upgrade
will 95lbs really do the 2.0t justice. I mean i've heard plenty of people say that is better, but unless you're driving on the track (not drag racing) the little weight diff won't matter. Need i mention its 95lbs with the base 2.0t. It will be cheaper on insurance, but if anyone think they're going to have a huge adv with a 95lb diff between the 6 is wrong. not to mention the 2.0t premium cost the same as the base. one question, why haven't we gotten navs in america?
P0wer axel already has a reflash for the ECu to boost power on the coupe and add other goodies., cheapest mood to make lots more power. Beyond redline sells it too.
if i had the money i would get a 911 turbo, but i dont. So I look at the sti and evo, but I dont have the money. and the wrx is way too overpriced. so I look at the g37 and 370z. But i still dont have enough. so i go to the used carlot and everything there is so boring and used. the nissan dealer is trying to sell me a versa with rims for 20k new. WTF? So I go to honda, I see an civicSI, 24k small, neat, saves gas, sunroof, sporty, then the hyundai genesis catches my eye across the street.
i disagree its a four door sedan that beats most coupes and is generally easy to mod. Its practical and great for 4 season driving if you don't live in a warm weather climate. 4 wheel drive helps !
kid i forgot more shit then you know about cars! Secondly the cars ecu was reprogrammed for street use. Just admit your wrong.....!!! Anyone reading this can do there own research and find out that is motor i very tuneable and is gunna make TQ
youtube wont let me post a link to the video of a stock turbo 2.0 putting down 291 wtq. You dont know shit about cars! I see your really popular on your home page. I see everyone thinks your an asshole!
All you have to do is do a search here and youll find a red 2.0 coupe with a stock turbo intake and ecu putting down 291 wtq. Oh by the way nice auromatic mustang, did it come with a skirt? homo
i dont even know what your talking about...but then again i see you dont either. You dont know what your talkin about. By the way when you turbo a motor you get tons of TQ.
I usually dont respond to NOOBs except for when they some somethiing really stupid so here goes, Who told you 350rwhp is max for stock internals? I have already seen a video on here with just a turbo swap do 370rwhp! Number two where did you come up with 30k? HAHAHA you dont know shit about cars stop making up numbers and stop posting!
fuck alot of wheel hop on that launch for having an lsd.. personally id wait for the toyota/subaru coupe, which will be up to 600lbs lighter, 210-220 boxer engine and same price, if not that then cheaper.
why is it $10k less than the european version? Where did they cut corners or did they subsidize the US sale with profit from elsewhere?

@NoxNoctisUmbra bullshit car? The 1st and 2'd gen eclipse gst was turbo fwd and the gsx was turbo awd. Making 210hp out of a 2.0L stock in the 90's was amazing. Their 4g63 motors are gr8 motors to built and run high boost. Only the newer ones are bullshit cars man.

in my opinion these guys fucked up. 1-4 k more you could put urself in a 263 hp mazdaspeed..not to mention a cobalt s.s. or a WRX..
that run more in the neighborhood of 14. in the q/m..
15.1 ??? my slow ass scion tC will beat that...

mmm I think that this car would achieve more power if you just change the turbo size the tune and the intercooler , it may add a lot of HP also exhaust headers and CAI is lighter than the v6 and as they said it handles better
curancho 2 years ago
Yeah you right in some things but you look at the price and if you have the 2.0T with another turbine ( Garret .60, .50), Intercooler, Nice Piping, Exaust 3", boost controler and other thing you can put more hp than the 3.8 with upgrades with less money than the 3.8 I like the Genesis 3.8 but you can have more HP with the turbo..
CrodriguezC01 2 years ago
@CrodriguezC01
For all that money you can afford F/I on the V6.
they'll both still be slow though
Trollensteinowitz 2 years ago
Yea is slow without upgrades but put some exhaust and other upgrades and tell me it is slow.... My friend have one and in 1/4 mile is 12.9 sec..
CrodriguezC01 2 years ago
@CrodriguezC01
For the price of the upgrades, you don't get anything that the 3.8 offers. The 2.0 is a budget Genesis and should only be driven by people on a budget, or by kids in their late teens or early 20s.
You might match or exceed the horsepower, but you don't get anything else. I can up my 3.8 GT with ease as well, and it'll out-max your friend's 2.0. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing really wrong with a 2.0, but it's a bare-bones, stripped down platform with nothing to it.

i would love this 2.0T car for the mileage, but i would much have the v-6 for the sound and power, and i would have to have the ltd. slip diff. you'd be out of your mind not to with such a light rwd car. especially if you indtend to drive this thing in the snow. overall i really like the car, i think that hyundai has really come a long way, i mean, in the past year they have made their first v8 car and their first rwd car.
tbirdsport302 2 years ago
woah, woah, wait a minute...15.4 for a 1/4 mile? that is slow.. i have a tC and there are guys that have managed 15.1 in a 1/4 mile with an exhaust only. i hate to say it but whoever did this1/4 mile is a bad driver.

t3523 2 years ago
The 2.0 turbo is a detuned version of Mistu's evo engine. Apparently you didn't know this. They even state this in some of the Genesis coupe reviews. Only the V6 is a true Hyundai motor. I love Hyundai. Hardly bashing them.
palebeachbum 2 years ago
no, the v6 is mitsubishi too. same 3.8L as the mitsubishi eclipseGT, hyundai just tuned it for 305 hp.
FishBoneSkeleton 2 years ago
not really a detuned version. but that depends on your version of detuned. cuz the hyundai motor features less technology than the Mitsu Evo. Evo has the oil squirters, stronger pistons, MIVEC vs CVVT and a semi closed block deck and is reinforced. two different engines far from being the same, but similar footprint in overall size and look.
unresolved777 2 years ago
dodge ,mitsubishi, hyundai and kia all share the same four cylinder engines. nearly all hyundai cars created, had mitsubishi engines. even the genesis 380GT has a mitsubishi engine, its used in the eclipse GT. do your research.
FishBoneSkeleton 2 years ago
Funny you tell me to do my research when you obviously haven't done yours. The 3.8L V6 in the Eclipse is a different motor than the one used in the Genesis coupe. Eclipse's motor is set up for front wheel drive, while the Genesis coupe's is set up for rear wheel drive. Eclipse makes 263hp while Genesis coupe makes 306hp. They are not the same motor!
palebeachbum 2 years ago
its still the same motor regardless of the output. it doesnt matter if its rwd or fwd. the first gen g35s had the same motor as the altima 3.5, the altima is fwd and the g35 is rwd . the g35 makes more power, but they're still the same engine.
FishBoneSkeleton 2 years ago
The differences vary among the joint motors of Chrysler, Mitsu, Hyundai. Chrysler's version of the 2.4L uses a cast iron exhaust manifold, unique air intake system, and MAP sensor, all in the name of saving money, which Hyundai did not do.
palebeachbum 2 years ago
i never told you to do your research, i sent that message to t3523, but from what your saying, maybe you really should do your research. hyundai's version of the world engines is not better than chryslers or mitsubishis, its actually the worst one. theres a reason why hyundai recently came out with that ten year 100k mile warranty, because they're previous cars cars where so cheaply made they were having a bunch of problems. thats why hardly anyone bought hyundais in the 90s, they were crap.
FishBoneSkeleton 2 years ago
Try again moron. Common logic. If any company's products are garbage, they are not going to warranty them for longer. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot having to fix junk products constantly. And yes, I was right about Hyundai's version of the world engines being the best engineered. Every Hyundai version of the world engines put out MORE POWER than Mitsu and Chrysler's versions. Better engineering.
palebeachbum 2 years ago 2
And you said recently? They've had that warranty for a LONG TIME now. Hyundai is ranked near the top in quality and reliablity these days. So what in hell are you smoking?

It doesn't matter because Mitsubishi and Crysler are two of the most biggest losers....Hyundai won. u tax money begging car fanboy.
t3523 2 years ago

quacktackular 2 years ago
Chrysler, Hyundai, and Mitsu jointly design motors, like the 2.4L. Each company takes the engine and modifies the design to suit their own budgets and needs. So the 2.4L you'll find in the Sebring/Avenger isn't identical mechanically or in terms of performance to what you'll find in the Sonata. Hyundai's versions of the joint motor designs tend to be better than what you find in the Chryslers and Mitsus.

Does the turbo engine come with a manufacter blow-off valve? or do you have to get an aftermarket one if you want one?

HERES THE QUESTION FOR ME THO...
straight off the lot... both being bone stock:
cobalt ss t/c OR GC 2.0t?
i leave for the army january 4th and my graduation present to myself was gonna be the SS but i researched the GC and i have no clue which one i like more now!
both have pros and cons... SS has better performance and the "sleeper" look, but the GC has better looking interior and the "wtf is that?!?!" wen u see it.
no car bashing im just asking for opinions lol
coltongharris 2 years ago
SS def. has the better performance...but GC is lighter...more fuel efficient...and better handling...especially around turns and bends...and more tech goodies for the money...
dpaik360 2 years ago
not hating at all but how is the GC a better handling car. the ss went around the
n-ring faster than any front drive car.
bluestangGT2001 2 years ago
true...but the SS is a V8...and more expensive
dpaik360 2 years ago
i disagree the cobalt ss is a 3000pound car an the genesis 4cyl is 3200pound both pull same lateral g's but the cobalt is fast through the slalom and stops harder! and theirs the no lift shit feature which is cool! (but u can't go wrong with either)
gmracing15 2 years ago
I'd say the SS more power. the new SS has a launch control mode, so no guessing on what rpm to launch at. and the SS is the fastest front wheel drive car around the nurburgring. the GC does look great though. be safe over there, get back and have fun with ur new car.
bluestangGT2001 2 years ago
Genesis Coupe
FILIPINOCD 2 years ago
genesis would be waaay more fun its rwd and looks better
goofypowerallday 2 years ago
it is rwd...
hondaaltimaboi 2 years ago
Well think of it this way, the Cobalt SS, although a fun and quick car, is essentially an economy car with a quick motor in it. The style is bland and the interior is econo-car cheap. The Genesis coupe on the other hand was designed from the ground up to specifically be a sports car. It's going to drive and feel much more like one than the Cobalt. And this goes without saying, but it's a hell of a lot better looking inside and out. Reliablity and quality will be better too.
palebeachbum 2 years ago 2
I'd pick the GC, its rwd, and much more unique, and most SS's aren't that sleeper, they have the huge curvey wing haha, but im a little biased, i own a tib currently and looking to make the upgrade
Pyridoxinexx 2 years ago
essentially its a detuned evo. new internals cams turbo intercooler and fuel mods and that car will tear people up.
srninjastar 2 years ago 2
will 95lbs really do the 2.0t justice. I mean i've heard plenty of people say that is better, but unless you're driving on the track (not drag racing) the little weight diff won't matter. Need i mention its 95lbs with the base 2.0t. It will be cheaper on insurance, but if anyone think they're going to have a huge adv with a 95lb diff between the 6 is wrong. not to mention the 2.0t premium cost the same as the base. one question, why haven't we gotten navs in america?
Texarmageddon 2 years ago
Hahahaha. Nice. Good job on the detailed research.
I still think the GC is a good car, has a lot of potential, and is a sharp looking vehicle. Not the perfect car, but pretty good none the less.

GReddy is working on pumping out 500HP for this Genesis Coupe's 2.0T engine. That'll be something.
With that kind of power, 0-60 will be in the corvette ZR range. I can't wait for that one.
SpiagiaVita 2 years ago
im guessing thats prity well the same setup thats in the drifting/pikespeak genesis thats been all over the magazines
vege22o 2 years ago
Well, Rhys Millen took 3.8L Lambda V6, bored it to 4.1 and then put Turbonetics turbocharger with intercooler. That set up gave him 555HP.
GReddy GC is working on the 2.0T engine only.
SpiagiaVita 2 years ago
Rhys Millen also has a street legal upgrades on 2.0T version, but I think his will end up costing a lot more than GReddy mods and upgrades.
Even if GReddy can't produce 500HP, but comes close to somewhere in the 450HP range, that's still pretty damn good.
This GC will smoke anything on the planet with that kind of HP/weight and HP/price ratios.
SpiagiaVita 2 years ago
ya, i read on a different vid a reply saying millens pikepeak had i think a vq40 or something like that instead of the 3.8L or the 2.0T.
either way it will be a sick car, tobad theres only 2 seasons where i live, summer and winter. :P no inbetween anymore

if i had the money i would get a 911 turbo, but i dont. So I look at the sti and evo, but I dont have the money. and the wrx is way too overpriced. so I look at the g37 and 370z. But i still dont have enough. so i go to the used carlot and everything there is so boring and used. the nissan dealer is trying to sell me a versa with rims for 20k new. WTF? So I go to honda, I see an civicSI, 24k small, neat, saves gas, sunroof, sporty, then the hyundai genesis catches my eye across the street.
