I'm more of a performance guy and can really care less about looks, but if I do go with 13 genesis coupe turbo it will definitely be on my #1 to do list LOL. The front does look a little too busy, I can't argue with that. All of the reviews so far seem very good for the new 13 gen coupes. Especially the new GDI V6. The review said the acceleration vs the last generation V6 coupe is "brutal" LOL! They also included a sound box for the V6 version just like the mustang GT's this time, but everyone seem to agree that the 2.0 turbo is the way to go being 300lb lighter.

Now if there was more info and reviews for the new Ford ST.....

I always appreciated john for not going anywhere even after his brick and now the mini LOL. I will definitely join him in the no more camaro stick around guys LOL!:THUMBSUP:

How about an ex camaro club scrming

Been checking this out for my wife... I think I need to test drive it when it is locally available... New Torque-Steer Compensation System looks interesting...

I'm interested to see what the new Focus ST will be myself. Supposedly the electic steering has eliminated the torque steer (less assist on the pulled side) and I know it worked very well in my Cruze, but it can't compete with AWD. However, for fun, look for videos of the Focus RS (euro only) going up against a GT-R in testing. If the ST is anything like that I'd take one in a heartbeat.

Most of them don't have the cash, some are trying to get the money together as we speak, if anyone want it then you better get on it. I don't think it will be available by end of this week.

yes yes Gretch! What surprise me the most is that they said the ST-R was built from all production parts that we are going to be able to purchase, but john did mention to me that the ECM is locked. If that's the case than I'm probably going to look the other way. Whatever car I go with next has to have no tuning limitation.

Glad to hear you are sticking around. A lot of fun cars on the horizon, so I'm sure you'll find what you want.

The ST is a beast, and for mid 25k you get a very nice recaro seats and big brakes especially designed for this car. ST is huge in Europe and it's been like that for years and years. Those guys over there are pushing some serious numbers. I don't think the ST is coming until end of this year I believe. I just wish there was more info online except for car show pics/videos.

2013 twin scroll turbo R-Spec genesis coupe is on my first list. I wish the ST was available now. I'm going to have to check out the site again. Thanks for the head up!
