My last car was a Genesis coupe 2.0t that was modded. It was putting out near 300 hp and about 320 tq at 3280 lbs. It handled pretty well (very fun because it was tail happy), but the brakes were terrible and the TC/SC/ABS were all atrocious. Modding that car was REALLY EASY and because it was a turbo, there were a lot of tuning options.
Sometimes I miss the power because on the highway I'd mash the gas and there would be no problem getting by. If someone wanted to race, that car could take most challengers. People saw 2.0 liter and figured it was slow. It was a fast car, but not a very good car overall.
The lower CG, stiffer suspension, terrific TCS/ABS, awesome LSD, less caster angle, reduced weight and everything else come together to make the FRS the better package. But the slow thing kind of sucks, but no turbo until it's paid off. With a turbo this will be an amazing package. I think 50 HP and 70 tq would transform this car.
The FRS handling with Gencoupe power:weight would be a dream car.
