Vs. Genesis G70 3.3T

[ice445]

Man, I don't care how fast some ugly car with 4 doors is. But then again I don't street race. The trouble you can get in is not worth it.

I just like having a car that makes great V8 noises and that I can shift myself.

Yeah, there's always someone faster and most people will only line up if they know something you don't these days. I just assume everyone is faster and go about my day..

Stinger on the Draggy page ran 10.99

I'm a little surprised people are interested in Stingers. I've never driven one, but they seem really big and ugly to me. Do they handle well?

I think the Stinger looks good. Different than most other cars anyway. I liked that it had a hatch back design too. You could fit a refrigerator back there. I added some beefy sway bars and I think it handled pretty well. They (and the G70) are rear wheel drive based AWD systems with longitudinal engine/trans layouts, so they behave more like a RWD car than most AWD cars. It was no problem to induce oversteer. The interior is lightyears better than any S550. Obviously, I went back to a stang for all the same reasons that any of us drive them, but Kia/Genesis really did a great job with these. Here is a few pics of mine.

Hmm I am not surprised. Many of us are interested in other makes or models; doesn't mean we go out and buy it...well sometimes we do

I'm interested in other makes and I've paid attention to the Stinger because people here talk about it. I've never driven one, though.

I refuse to buy Kia/Hyundai/Genesis after a previously terrible experience with them and a local dealer (I’ve mentioned it in other threads so I won’t rehash it here).

The Genesis coupes of the past try to run on the high HP muscle cars here pretty often. I personally never take the bait, there’s been a lot of daytime and nighttime shenanigans here lately and cops are definitely paying more attention. And they have some really good hiding spots around here that makes it impossible to see them until it’s too late. Not worth it to me.

The Genesis coupes here usually have some loud, annoying, farty exhaust that sounds absolutely awful, are stanced to the point they’re probably not safe to drive at any speed let alone the speeds they want to go. They’re popular with the younger folks though, probably because they can be had for fairly cheap.

The new Genesis line actually looks pretty nice and I’ve heard they will hurt some feelings. Stock for stock beating a S550 GT? I have my doubts. Maybe off the line with AWD but I would think the Mustang would catch it pretty quick. As I said earlier, I refuse to buy another Hyundai, so I haven’t even bothered to drive one to see what they’re all about.

I had a genesis coupe before my mustang gt. I regret selling it till this day. Maybe it was because it was my first not bottom of the barrel car purchase. It was the first car I put real money into modifying. I love my mustang but wouldn’t hesitate to get back into a newer genesis if they offered something compelling with a manual transmission

Am I the only one who notices that every car that Kia makes happens to have some odd physical embellishment to the body that just seems, well, weird? Sometimes it’s trim, sometimes it’s window shape or moulding….but on every model. Always something odd.

I think when you look at Korean culture in general- architecture, art, TV shows, etc. the "odd" styling falls right in line with everything else

You realize a Tesla can destroy us off the line? You realize most newer cars are really fast nowadays? A TRUCK (TRX) can take us. There will be always someone faster, if you want to pursue speed the Coyote can easily be boosted and hurt some feelings. In my eyes the Coyote, specially with a manual just makes an awesome sounding drivers car, and thats what I want. Otherwise I would go buy a Plaid for speed alone.

And BMW/KIA/Hyundai do nothing for me, I don't like how they look and they sound like complete garbage lol

 

[docmogas]

I had G70 before my Mach 1 and it definitely felt quicker off the line, but the mustang is definitely faster on the top end, like many have pointed out. Love my Mach 1 but I do miss the technology and interior of the genesis. For the price its hard to beat Genesis if you are looking in the luxury arena.

Idk, a BMW M5 CS most definitely "does it" for me. Of course, I could have 2 ESS supercharged MACH 1's for that price.

That is a cool car but it still looks like a BMW *mixed feelings
I do like those monster brake rotors though, holy smokes

And look at the back seats. Even little Timmy gets the "Race Car Feels"
