that looks killer. either way, more than 300hp out of a 6 will be pretty decent. wonder what kind of engine bay room theyll have :snky:

350z meh, you get a 10yr/100k warranty with this! And insurnace is very low on all Hyundai’s models they are 5star crash test rated with atleast 6 air bags some have 8.

FWIW, the lead designer of the Chrysler Crossfire is a now a lead designer at Hyundai. He graduated a few years ahead of me from college and is originally from Rochester. Very talented dude, and from the looks of this carI wouldn’t be suprised if he had a hand in this.

Looks like I was right:) …Eric Stoddard is the designer…

Hell a 300 hp v6 in a say \<3500 lb car would be fine with me. Plus if they do put the v8 in it they would need to up the hp anti, to what 375-400? That should beat a sti/evo out of the box
