I must be one of the fortunate few. I have one of the earliest releases and have had zero issues with the car. Sure, my idle fluctuates a bit and I have a rattle somewhere, but it's solid. I've installed the Perrin pulley and the Injen Intake and have had zero CEL's. I bet the following add-ons could keep up with the 32k Genesis in the straights and spank it in the curves like a clerk at a dollar store.

Injen Intake: 350.00
Perrin Tune: 850.00
Nameless Header: 600.00 +-
HKS Spec L Exhaust: 1200.00
Forgestar F14 Wheels 19x9/&19/10: 1800.00
Continental Extreme DWS 235/35/19&275/30/19: 900.00
Total: 5,700.00

Now I know there are other parts in these catagories for a lot less and if you installed realistic wheels/tires it would be that much faster but when you add the cost to the purchase price you end up with a car that you paid 31k for. Which would you rather have in the garage? A stock Genesis or a complete custom car that eats Porches on the skid pad (bends).
