I was just wondering though... I thought the 0-60 should be faster? I just read reviews from insideline, motortrend, and caranddriver, and they got 6.4s, 5.7s, 5.5s respectively... Is it the driver that's the problem? I thought it was weird that the tester from insideline got such a slow time...

lol I just joined the forum and the first post is about hyundai.
"Accelerating the Genesis quickly can be tricky because of a drivetrain protection feature built into its engine calibration. Shift the Genesis coupe aggressively at redline and you'll occasionally experience a power cut in your target gear which lasts 3 seconds."


I hope this is true:

"Hyundai is considering a new calibration, but there are cars going on sale that incorporate this 3-second power intervention, a feature that can punish drivers at engine speeds well below redline. Some people won't notice it, but to others it could be a deal breaker in the purchase of a Genesis 3.8 coupe."
