I love the car and the way it looks and feels but I think in can use another 50 to 75 Horses
I agree with you re: the extra power - it's fun. But the stock twins ARE basically competitive with the Genesis 2.0t.

From http://www.zeroto60times.com/:

2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T Premium 0-60 mph 6.0 Quarter Mile 13.9

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T Turbo 0-60 mph 6.9 Quarter Mile 15.1

2012 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Sedan 0-60 mph 5.4 Quarter Mile 13.8

2013 Scion FR-S (Manual) 0-60 mph 6.2 Quarter Mile 14.5

2013 Subaru BRZ (Manual) 0-60 mph 6.1 Quarter Mile 14.6

That looks pretty competitive to me. Add the OFT and ESC, and your 0-60 should be in the mid to high 5s and the 1/4 right around 14 flat. The OFT tune bumps the redline up about 100-200 rpm, thereby allowing you to hit 60-61 mph in 2nd before fuel cut off - cutting even more time than the power/tq increase causes.
