Road/Race- Genesis Coupe V6

We decided to try our hand at the new Genesis Coupe...alot of other companies are working on the 2.ot, thats the easy road since it is very similar to the evo drivetrain. we decided to take the road less traveled and do the 3.8l v6 platform. it seems to have more potential out of the box..lots of torque and good na power.

we found a customer who wanted the works and decided to go to town on his car. here is the mod list so far.

RRM short ram intake
RRM lightweight pulley
RRM cat deletes
RRM axle back exhaust
RRM fuel controller
RRM lower truss bar
RRM rear sway bar
RRM front splitter
RRM slotted rotors

Well, I was wondering if and when someone would try their hand at tuning the V6, especially since Stillen is using it instead of the turbo 4 in their drift car. This should be interesting.

We are really having fun with this thing. Check out some of our videos on our site too. Just click the link at the top of the page (in red). Gotta say I think I would rather have a 6 based on our experience.

I noticed the mod list made no mention of springs or coilovers. Thats not stock height is it? How much of a drop is that? Looks fantastic!

Did you guys throw on a prefabbed splitter on it. I ask because it looks like it could be a bit wider.

Probably because the required wires aren't all on one harness like they are on that car.
