they have an r-spec coupe.

2.0t. no frills. lower weight. brembo brakes, lsd etc.

what you should be saying is: they need to do a r-spec v6 gen coupe. cus they dont have that.

I stand corrected but they actually do have an r-spec V6 now too (just checked the website). Didn't realize they slipped in a few extra models of the coupe, including an r-spec V6. To restate my idea more correctly, they need to introduce a new coupe with bigger balls (aka engine upgrade) to compete with the Z.

I was referencing the 332 hp / 290 tq V6 Genesis coupe, not the sedan, as being the competitor which you will find further down the post, not the R-Spec sedan.

The sedan is a different car completely really. The coupe though only weighs about 100-125lbs more than our cars. With more torque and some mods they would be a good competitor I think (also if they get rid of that redline induced power chop by the ECU).

I stand corrected too when did they introduce a r-spec v6!
