2011 Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec

I'm hoping for the V8 from the Genesis Sedan.

really liking it in the last few pictures...

everyday after work i have my one smoke and just chill in quiet, think about car stuff. did a self portrait of that, thought it would be interesting because its not a part of my life anyone ever sees.

This right here, is pretty awesome.

Spoke to a sales rep and he couldn't really say much. But he did say that by the end of this 2014 model year they will phase out the 2.0t in the GC and make the 3.8 the 'base'

Getting rid of the good engine... If you want to make serious power out of a 3.8, it will cost a lot more than a 2.0t with similar power numbers.

The Tau V8 would really make the GC a competitive sports car in my opinion. I mean it is a bit of a porker. This would put it on mustang GT/Boss level

Yeah I agree, it will align more with the competition. Hey, that just means easier swaps in the future assuming they don't do a complete redesign.

thanks man

so i finally did a vid of the exhaust how it is now. before i get the ansa/ferrari muffler in.

Damn, that exhaust sounds amazing.

That whole video was just gorgeous... That little tire slippage was awesome. Quick question though, what exactly does "blast pipes" mean? I always thought it was just a pipe that sticks beyond the bumper. But this sounds more glorious than just an xpipe and blasts.

Thanks guys! I'm not sure if there is a concrete definition for blast pipes, i designed mine to have an Xpipe right before the tips so it is the furthest away from the H-pipe (under the tranny) as possible. I read a lot of muscle car forums prior and it seemed like a common theme to get the best sound & performance by keeping with that concept.

I don't know much about exhaust physics so i decided to learn via trial and error, this is the 4th iteration and its getting there. I'm hoping the ferrari ansa muffler will smooth out the higher frequency noise (over glass packs) for the 5th change.

Video was awesome

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Exhaust sounds incredible!

A buddy of mine is looking to pick up something to make a project out of. I'm pointing him to this thread, because this car is just sick as all hell.

I freaking love this build! Where did you find the cobra reps?

thanks guys! Cobra reps are from wheelreplicas.com. they barely ever have matching stuff in stock LOL this is why I have 6 of these wheels now. :/ had to buy mismatched first so i could sell the varrstoens


Edit: I told you i take a million pics. helps me think about what is still ugly.... like the big mirrors. Which will be going away

[Austin EM2]

Gosh, your car makes me feel so nice inside.

[rice4life]

Hurry and get that wing done! That would really set it off.
