Both companies have really started turning it around the last 3-4 years, but Hyundai has turned it around in an even bigger way over the last 6-8 years. They're building very sporty and reliable cars with good fuel mileage while still being fun to drive. Including turbos and a V8, it's also the only Asian lineup that offers a V8 in any of their cars. Hyundai is far more American made than most cars in the states too, with several plants here in the US.

Does "R-spec" mean it has a special tune/modded? If so, those numbers aren't that impressive, as the bone stock American engines still have an edge. As far as I know, stock Genesii(?) are not putting down close to 365rwhp.

R-spec is like Infiniti's IPL or... think AMG, V-series, M, F lite.

This guy has posted numerous times with an import agenda. Just saying that there are better places for him to post stuff like this that's all. Not saying that some of the info he has isn't good for anything, that's why this CAMARO forum has a general car section... He obviously could care less about anything remotely American made, that's why I question what he is here for.

I wouldn't get defensive about it. Sure, I've seen some of his posts that were a little less-than-relevant to the discussion; but, in this forum, we're talking about comparisons to the Chevrolet Camaro.
This particlar thread references an article that compares the output of the 5.0 Tau in the Hyundai Genesis R-Spec with the output of the 5.0 Coyote in the Mustang GT and the 6.2 LS3 in the Camaro SS. It's a perfectly valid thread and there's been plenty of discussion on both sides. Even if he has an "import agenda," there are many people who troll this forum that will sing the praises of their particular flavor of American muscle. Personally, I think the 5.0 Tau looks like a good engine, and think it would be very intriguing if Hyundai would place it in other platforms in the company line-up; however, I'm all about my little 6-banger Camaro.

The older i get the more i have began to appreciate 4 dr sedans with decent power(like my G8) so i would definitely give it a look.
