people who complain about the whp seem to forget that this is RWD. And did you see the exhaust restrictions? I wouldn’t be surprised they limited this engine a lot so it doesn’t get into the v6 territory. RWD \> FWD anyday ---

That is what this is talking about right? A sports car; a quick, light, well handling car no? Just checking, both cars have cheapo plastic interiors I don’t care if one plastic is more contoured with tighter fits then the other, they are both shitty plastic. I guess I’d rather be a high school girl passing the bros in the Genesis… (I think your comparison of a girl driving a Cobalt is funny coming from a Hyundai Tiburon guy. :P) ---

I hate Hyundais just as much as I hate cobalts, as a neutral 3rd party, the genesis interior is much better. ---

Do you think this block will be the limiting factor, such as some of the for 302s? Split personality? How does the rest of the car hold up to 500hp? Subframe/tranny/rear end etc… ---

> [@somedude](#): > > isn’t the engine based off of the Mitsubishi engine not the evo but the one below it? no. this engine is a group effort between mitsu, hyundai and chrysler and all of them are using it with different manifolds and small changes. i heard that mitsu did some different portwork and vvt though. the evo, the caliber SRT and the genesis coupe should have similar strength engines. caliber gets the 2.4L turbo version. wonder if that would swap into the genesis coupe.

cobalt is in the same price range but again, its fwd. You have to think of a cheap, RWD, TURBO coupe that can compare to this car. I can’t think of any.
