i thought....you all like to hear it from a tuner shop owner.

i tried to justify some simple mods to the V8 genesis....but realized right away that the cost would easily rise above a sport pak 370z

And i mingled with the most enthusiastic owners and tunershops that will specialize on the genesis.....has any other post done such a personal job?

And then Hyundai.....tey are a loser.....because if they were to sell this car for 27k.... then its a viable alternative.

the 2.0 is a mess...the V6 is ok don't know were the HP is....

You guys are pretty unapreciative. Why cause i have a Zo6 and a 370Z...

Sorry with 5% in mods...the Zo6 easily cast down the GTR. though if you do the same to the GTR ....the Zo6 is cast down


whats the use... i don't know why i try.
We're unappreciative and you don't know why you try?

Yes your post was informative and such.. No argument there

But....Just what kind of response are you (or similar posters) looking for? You posted this topic in the 370z area,( not in the other vehicles forum btw) on a Nissan 370z site.

Which, as you know are mainly frequented by people who either own, thinking of buying or just plain interested in the Nissan 370z.. The majority don't come here looking for info on Hyundai's or Chevy's. Do the same on their respective forums..See how many 370 fans you can get there.

And the old "No true auto enthusiasts here" or "Fanboys" lines won't fly here as well... Do a search..This topic (different makes as well) was posted and discussed numerous times by different posters.

Sorry to say..Just because you and other fans of the Genesis like the car.. There's always going to be equal numbers who hate it...

No i'.m a 370Z owner.....too bad sigs aren't posted.

i happen to own a Zo6, a heavily modified ( all around) GTO, twice thats 2
and a moded Hayabusa....

Some i'm part of many forums.

I'm no mechanic ..i leave that to my shop manager.. But i do co-own a tuner shop...specializing in turbo applications with a built in ground dynojet

i would think what i presented would mean more since we got to look at and study the modibility and cost of doing such.

When i can gt a sport 370Z for 31,999 why would anyone buy a Hyundai.
as they are being pricks about it being a hot car, blah,blah blah. and they won't discount it.....

I told the guy good expect them to launguish on the lots till you have to sell them for a loss..

Hyundai shoulld have at least = the handling and braking....or get closer.

and the Dealers....OMG they are just asses as they finally got something descent....well the Sonata and Azzera and their Suv was good as well.

but to not budge......they don't have Zr1's or Vipers....but they act as if.



I expect some g__dman sincere respect.....lol no just a thanks would have been nice.

i spent the better part of a week..talking looking, pre shopping....i think a bit more than any other thread on this subject.

if its in the wrong place the moderator has power to move it into mainstream......i think it does belong here cause i am a 370z owner. Black/ tints...did the pop charger the cat delete and gonna fab up some free flowing exhaust bullets in placce of mufler..no need to increase catback diameter.... You'll lose exhaust velocity which at this point is perfect.. with present diameter tubing. and asavea few lbs with that mufler. I'm thinking a 25+ rwhp gain plus much better under the curve response
