Not shabby. Have you seen the Genesis R Spec? Wow! Hyundai has come a long way.

"That's all well and good, but I know that most prospective Genesis Coupe 3.8 buyers are interested in the power. For 2013, Hyundai has upped the power ante with a retune of its 3.8-liter gasoline direct-injected V-6 engine that brings an additional 42 horsepower and 29 pound-feet of torque to the party. The result when burning premium-grade fuel is 348 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. (Cheaping out and filling the tank with regular-grade gasoline drops those numbers to 344 horsepower and 292 pound-feet.)

The 2011 Coupe 3.8 R-Spec with its 306 horsepower was a great car. It was a sort of sharper alternative to the Mustang V-6 and low-cost alternative to the Nissan 370Z Track. The 2013 Coupe's 348 ponies transform this car into much more than just an "alternative." It's now a genuine player. The R-Spec has a power-to-weight ratio (10 lbs/hp) that slots right in between the current 370Z (about 9 lbs/hp) and the Infiniti G37 Coupe Sport 6MT (a bit over 11 lbs/hp)"

Ya its suprisingly quick for a family 4 door sedan. I have raced a STI and though it did beat me it did not pull more then 1 1/2 cars length from me. the sonata kept up the whole way right on him. We both pulled into the same gas statiion and he told me he was VERY suprised. He thought he would smoke the car. The car runs with 18 psi standard but with some tunes ECU,Synapis BOV,some new hard piping for the IC and it can run 20 - 22 psi and cut the 1/4 mile time down to about 13 seconds, and pushing over 300bhp.
