For the right price, I can overlook the lack of asthetics and get on board. It’s not like the original cars that it’s based on was a looker. ---

Wheels, drop, and red tail lights can drastically change the look of this car. I’ll keep my judgement till then. Concept to production will always change. Lots of variables to consider from cost, reliability, and safety. A vehicle has to perform in all types of conditions, concept wont always meet those standards. ---

Better but make it black and add a flush rear spoiler and maybe a sunshade. ---

Even if the Genesis has more power it is a larger car, and as we all know in the downhill a large car with more power will overwork the tires. ![http://photos.motoiq.com/MotoIQ/Project-Cars/Project-86/i-vgsWM3j/0/M/FT86-size-M.png](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/9/e/9eed3c189dcf724c186715a3d94da27b1c1cf7f5.png) ---

UGH I said NEW geneis coupe… 2.0t 275hp/3.8 v6 350hp, and please tell me where any of us race downhill? Lets keep this realistic for a dd a gen coupe will be much more practical/fun and be more response to mods…Unless you want to keep the 5yr/60k b2b warranty ---

> [@Hortanica](#): > > This post proves you are missing the entire point and purpose of this car. Not saying it wouldnt be a fun track car, but nobody goes out and buys a brand new car strictly for that, so for a DD i feel the gen coupe would be a much better buy. I also think a s2000 would be better for the money but since they no longer make them i wont go there. ---

From what I read, it’s going to have 16" discs up front and 14" in the rear… that car is gonna stop on a dime. IMO though, I’m going to wait a year or two till the “STi” version comes out… this car would be dumb fun with 300+ hp. ---
