I really like the new camaro too bad they say they are not practical for anyone over 5'10"
You can probably get the HP out of the 4, only after spending as much if not more money than just getting the 6. Plus, don't forget 4 banger or 6 banger, what you'll miss is the torque of a V8. Thats where the really fun is, not HP. Camaro is just a better car hands down.....Plus chicks will dig it much more than the goofy looking (tiburon sexed up a camry) Genesis.

of course, already boosted cars are always easier to mod, but im sure if you put a turbo on the v6 it would make a lot more

I dont like the interior of the Camaro. Retro should have ended on the sheet metal.

The Genesis sedan comes with an optional 375hp 4.6L V8. So you're wrong there.

And... you're wrong about the 2.0L turbo Theta engine as well. It shares many of the same design specs, but it's an open deck block, and has cast pistons, and numerous other differences. There is not much, if anything that you can swap over from a 4B11T.

You're just full of misinformation aren't you.

i passed a camaro today on the road, and i have to say i didn't like it one bit. the car looks mega small for some reason. the rear end looks like a scrunched 'vette ass, and the front looks like a challenger went on jenny craig. PASS.

What I like most about the new camaro is the fact that they didn't turn into into a boat with donk rims like the challenger/charger. It's a small car on donk rims instead

We are talking about the coupe not the sedan ... i thought that was obvius ...

So my info on the coupe not having a V8 is corect ... and I apologize I have not taken a 4b11 from the coupe apart to tell the difference between the genesis and the evo motors ...

Here is a small article on the coupe ... It also talks about the similarities with the evo motor ...

i actually drove a Genesis Coupe 3.8l manual today. Wasnt a track though, but the best word that describes the drivetrain is "clunky". I wanted to like it, but just... I dunno, couldnt.
