The Genesis, yes... I believe I ran one out in AZ now too long ago, around Desert Ridge. The guy was bad assing it from light to light which irritated me, so I decided to put him in his place, which was second in a 2 car race. But to my suprise me kept up very well in the begining but I pulled away with ease once we got up to speed.

I was in shock at first because I didnt know Hyundai made a 6 and 8 cylinder engine and was scratching my head wondering how the hell he hung so well with me.

Calm down I was just playing with ya man. I actually kinda admire the engineering that Hyundai put into that engine. I was astounded to say the least.

I still would have a hard time owning an EVO X knowing it was powered by hyundai. Its just a stigma thing, kinda like how even though i like the Saturn Sky's styling better than the soltice, I would still have trouble purchasing one because its still a freaking saturn.

No biggie dude, I'll quit thread jacking now btw.
haha i hear ya, i don't have any brand loyalty so whatever is a good product i'm a fan just a tune on my car gave me 50whp so i ain't gonna complain. i'm actually very interested in the genesis as it's turbo and RWD and capable of good power gains with minimal mods..gonna go check one out soon for shits and giggles. obviously not gonna buy as i already have another hyundai powered awd sedan...

sarcasm is very difficult to detect on the internet, but the answer to your question is no.

Ive beat several genesis coupes (both i4 turbo and v6) here in Korea with my s2k. I pulled harder than the OPs story but yeah, sounds about right. I didnt know that the EVOX motor was a hyundai either. I respect the hyundai brand, but I personally do not like their cars, so I wouldnt buy one.

did you really think that a hyundai is going to beat a s2000?
havent seen the new genesis? Put some mods on the Theta ( 4b11 ) engine and youll see his tails unless your boosted.
