4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe - Page 9

1QUICK4 · 01-30-2009

Had my girl who works for Hyundai find out some info today.

Cars will be in late Feb. or early March. No pricing as of yet. There is no waiting list right now like there was with the sedan when it came out. They are going to get in at least six at Walser to start.

Link with some good info

The official pricing will be released at the Chicago auto show.

I like the part in the Q&A that says:

Q: Will you have aftermarket parts and accesories available for the Genesis Coupe when it launches?

A: Those plans will be shared closer to launch, but we expect considerable aftermarket demand for performance accesories. In fact, we are studying a lower cost version for tuners.

smart people.

Kevin 1G Drummer · 01-30-2009

That lower cost version is the R-spec that will be launched around mid summer. I'm really liking where things are headed with this car, but I just hope it doesn't turn into the next Honda Civic.

EclipseGST · 01-30-2009

Or the next SRT-4.... Bah.

We'll see when it comes out, until then we wait.

I haven't looked at this thread or one of these till now.
Now I wished I wouldn't have, but mo said it the best I would buy one, mod it till it was a pain in the ass, then I would have to find a new DD.

Beautiful car, will be nice to see these and RWD will be awesome.

Big difference here guys. I know all about this from the quest. it's a cheap, RWD turbo car with a limited slip. This is how it goes:

1. turn 17, 18, 19, or 20
2. ask moms and dad for hyundai turbo coupe
3. drive it for 3 hours and try a burnout...fail at burnout
4. try to slide the ass around a corner
5. crash into a light pole/fire hydrant/tree/what have you and total the fuck out of your new car.
6. ???
7. Profit

Thats exactly the SRT4... Minus the RWD part. People still try to "drift" with a FWD vehicle. I watched this happen with more than a dozen people. Its ridiculous!

I dont understand how you "know all about this from the quest". Back when the quest was available, there was a fraction of the publicity compared to what the Genesis is getting. Plus the quest platform sucks... HAHA! Why do you think so many people put a 4g63 in them!

1QUICK4 · 02-01-2009

I remember selling a freshly painted, mint, StarQuest to a 17 year old punk from my old work Metro . Who rear ended somebody and totaled it out two weeks later

I know all about this from the quest, not because of when they were new, but how they are now. They are cheap and most come with a limited slip diff. They are turbo 4 bangers that can slide around easily. Just because you don't know anything about it doesn't mean you should hate. the quest platform, I'll have you know, is very mod friendly and very solid. I know people who have rolled their cars, flipped them through the air and hit trees with them, and walked away. very solid. Last time I saw a dsm wrecked, it was like this

.

SOME people put 4g63's in 'em. but most don't.

I definately will be picking up one of these in a couple years, they seem like a really cool platform to work off of. It's not everyday that we get a rwd turbo car in america.

Kevin 1G Drummer · 01-31-2009

I meant I hope it doesn't turn out like the Civic in that everybody just throws intake and a muffler, some aftermarket tail lights, a wing and a body kit on it, and think it the fastest car in the world.

Kevin 1G Drummer · 02-01-2009

I was pretty bored last night so I signed in to MNSC for the first time since October and there didn't seem to be much interest in it over there, so maybe that's a good thing?

EclipseGST · 02-01-2009

Easy there turbo... It was a joke! Must have missed the "HAHA!" and "

".

No problem, I'm really in to starquests, if you couldn't already pick that up, so it was my natural instinct to stand up for it.

Also, if I were to say dsms' and evos' platforms sucked here, I'd get banned. So, I have to rep hard.

Febo · 02-01-2009

I think this Genisis is going to be the next civic. I can see a bunch of "tuners" doing just what was said. Just because it has a turbo from the factory. I feel that this will not bring good things for the glory of the 4b11.
