FR-S would beat the whale car in turning radius and probably max G's. Not to mention the 'no tool for measurement' fun category.

Weight with power doesn't mean worse handling. Just different.

:w ord:

:wor d:

I'm glad someone finally got it on this site.

Not with those skinny ass tires that the FRS will get. Remember a MX5 does about .90 g and the current R-Spec is .94g

Yea...seems like we have an invasion of Hyundai fan boys lately.
For all of you on the fence window shoppers, go get ya a bloated Hyundai, so my chances of being one of the first BRZ owners goes up significantly....
No more shopping for me

I did a few years ago. I'm not a fanboy. I love CARS, not just Toyotas/Subies.

Talk about fan boys! The Toyota fans are killing me, i currently drive a 07' WRX. so i also like subaru. But the GC is nice and theres no need to hate.

Most people doesn't really care what badge is on the car. I for one am more concerned about weight and other things else other than the badge. I don't like how GC looks and its weight + crappy tranny. I drive 3400lb IS250 AWD, so I know understand why people don't like heavy cars. 3400lb sporty coupe is not acceptable for me, that's why I'm here at ft86club, no?

I think Nissan is going to be pissed about Hyundai's improved V6 in the GC.

Probably, but for 30K, Z is a bargain 2 seater sportcar, it just needs to be on diet and get suspension and electronic system control tweaked.

Mr.Jay · 11-14-2011, 05:49 PM

I cant seen Nissan being happy about those HP figures for the V6

Will we see a new HP war era but on affordable carsÉ

Does anyone know if the block design is the same as the one shared with Mitsu just cause I know the 1st gen was but this 4 turbo comes from their sonota and I dont know much about that car

I read somewhere that this isn't the Sonata engine. Supposedly it is the same engine with a larger intercooler and a twin scroll turbocharger. Of course, that could all be misinformation.

As far as the Sonata engine, it should be the same block but with direct injection.
