You're thinking of the Sedan.
4.6 V8 isn't available in the Coupe. |

Also found this today.
Seems it's pretty easy to get another nearly 50 hp out of it. http://www.gencoupe.com/general-disc...no-graphs.html |

Let 'em try...
...ever see how much that car(sedan version) weighs with the V8 in it? It'll perform no better than Challenger RT or Mustang GT...probably worse in my cynical view. |

First off, I've gotta say thats pretty cheap. But to claim 'well below' a Cobalt SS get real, its $950. With that you get an extra 25% more power and ~20% more torque.

BTW, the Genesis sedan with the Tau weighs ~4000 lbs and costs more than a G8 GXP but it is praised for being 'lexus like' so that added level of luxury will add a lot of weight. Sound deadening, probably extra regidity, luxury features, etc. I'd bet the coupe with the V8 would be about 3700 lbs, considering the weight of the V6 in the sedan vs the coupe. So power to weight is 10 lbs/hp if it were in the coupe, give or take a few 1/10ths of course. I've gotta wonder though, why not make a Genesis Coupe with the V8 and price it like the Camaro, Challenger, and Mustang? It would be a very clear competitor to them. The ~300 hp 3.8 might run with the Mustang but I doubt it, not enough torque.

When I first heard about this car they were talking about the V8 being in it but then it was dropped. Don't know why.
I'm not considering this car. I really don't like the way it looks. I just thought I'd post this because I can tell you out where I live on the coast in B.C. there are a lot of people who feel no loyalty to the US/Canadian auto industry and there are many of these people who are considering this car and not considering a Camaro at all. I've had friends visit from back east and they can't believe the number of imports around here. We don't have any factories around here and we have a lot of Asian immigrants. Add in the domestic's quality rep., even if not valid nowadays and you end up with this situation. |
