These threads are getting funnier each time I read them. No offense to the OP, but it usually seems to some young adult that is stuck on the HP number and has no idea that a true driving machine is all about.
The GC is not a bad car but a good driver is able to take something like the FR-S/BRZ and really make the thing do amazing things.
OP, consider this, the Genesis Coupe weights in at 3,362 and has 274 HP, that's a HP/Weight Ratio of 12.27. The FR-S/BRZ weights (if this is correct) 2,762 although I've heard as light as 2,606. At 2,762 it would have a HP/Weight Ratio of 13.81 and at 2,606 it would be 13.03. That's between 1.54 and 0.76 HP to Lbs difference. Any good driver would be able to make up for 0.76 to someone that is less expereinced.
Now shave a little weight, take out the back seat, change the clutch, flywheel, wheels, tires, driveline and what do you have. I very, very light nimble car. At a turbo kit and "this will desimate all at race wars". It's much easier to add HP than cut weight.
Plus the GC platform, at least from my searching is not an easy car to tune. I'd take the BRZ/FR-S anyday.
