Well, you were challenged today at 4:15 by userID "speedaddicted". He said he would hand you the keys to his EVO if you "walk" him.







Thats what I thought.

You thought what? That I'm going to drive to some unknown place (probably out of state) to race a guy to settle an internet discussion? Did your parents drop you as a child or did they simply stomp you out in a drunken rage?

The Gen Coupe is not quite as polished yet but it's definitely the better value if you're looking for a fun to drive RWD turbo coupe w/ brembos and LSD.

Now if you want something that looks higher end the G37 is nice but the Genesis Sedan is the classier looking car as long as you don't have the 1st year wheels.

Between 60 mph and 100 mph, the EVO is now a gigantic (and laughable) 3.7 seconds faster than the Genesis and picking up speed much faster than the Genesis. Now kids, what does that tell us? That tells us that no matter if the race is from a dig or a rolling start, the EVO will definitely walk a Genesis coupe.

Now, goodnight sir.
Yet you're still wrong. How you managed to decide that times recorded from a dig will at all reflect what would happen in a roll is beyond me but you obviously have no idea what the EVO's AWD system allows it to do from a dig.

I'm actually putting the Genesis sedan with the V8 high on my list to replace the G35 with. At that point they should depreciate nicely.

Even though I have never owned a Hyundai, I know they are crap. Cheaply made,but have never seen one outside of a magazine. I realize they are usually less expensive(approx 10K less.), but that doesn't matter in comparison. Why do Idiots make posts like this. My 2001 Santa Fe has 110k miles, never been to the shop, used every day,but was predicted to melt on the driveway before the warranty expired. I would buy another any day. But I'd take off the original tires still on the vehicle. Please don't compare it to an Esplanade.
