Just bought a genesis coupe

As the title states I just bought a genesis coupe 2.0T after my 99 grand am took a **** on me. Really didnt want a payment but oh well. The car looks great and has some cool features. Im not planning on modding it, thats what the evo is for. Anyone else have one?

its definetely not as fast as an evo for sure. I dont want to mod it but I am turning up the boost by the wastegate. I saw a dyno comparison with 2 full turns on the actuator and it made 15lbs more torque and horsepower was up throughout most of the powerband. Also the intake has a silencer in it thats getting removed as it causes constriction. But all in all its very smooth ride and corners very well. Alot more gadgets and when you turn traction control off its pretty fun to drive being that its RWD. I cant complain

I really like the styling of the Genesis Coupe.

Theres a guy on SF that bought a white Genesis coupe and ripped the motor out and it pretty close to completing his singled 2j swap.

I have a V6 Track model and love it. I autocross it and it's very poised and confident.
