...Which leads me to another rant. I just love how all of these magazines printed and written in the USA bash domestic cars, and then wonder why they don't sell. A few months ago Motor Trench wanted to pit a Hyundai Genesis Coupe against a Mustang GT and Ford refused to provide them with one. Motor Trench went off and printed that Ford was "scared." No, Ford wasn't scared of the Hyundai Genesis, they just knew that all Motor Trench was going to do was drag the Mustang GT through the dirt about its live axle suspension. Good for Ford for planting a big F-YOU on Motor Trench's cheek.
I read the same article and thought the same thing...why would Ford be scared of all things of a Hyundai Genesis Coupe?? Who cares if it's got a snappy V6, doesn't mean it can keep up with a torquey V8...because it doesn't even come close to keeping up with Mustang GT times
IN the Car and Driver test of the 5.0 it said Ford addressed the Bigger brake issues, that'll add a good 150lbs to the car. Hopefully they can keep it around 37-3800lbs.
Back to the weight issue: the Ford media site has all of the specs. The manual 6 speed coupe is 3603 lbs.(est.). I guess the estimate is due to options such as the Brembo GT500 brakes, wheel sizes,etc...
The engine is only 430 lbs. due to aluminum block, heads, composite intake, and, wait for it.....HOLLOW CAMSHAFTS!
Hyundais are steaming piles of excrement. Hyundai will NEVER build a car that can even come close to touching the Mustang. "Hyundai" and "Mustang" shouldn't even be used in the same sentence. To even think that this...Genesis compares to the Mustang is nothing short of hysterical.
How do you know? Through emotion, maybe?
Have you taken the Hyundai on a test drive?
Have you?
YES! The body structure is way better as is most everything else. If they put a V8 in it there would be no contest! However, my stupid allegiance to these lazy US auto manufacturers is probably just like yours.
