Obviously they should have been driving the NEW Genesis coupe, the old one is obsolete and clearly dangerous.

The turbo must have spooled at 12mph.

Good point! I have no idea what the two guys' actual story or affiliation was! I just guessed that the FR-S driver was their boss or colleague because of how long he hung around while they were trying to figure out what to do..

I agree, genesis looks much meaner than the frs

Yeah sure, whatever. Bored out engine, big deal.

The genesis is much more aggressive (power and size) then the fr-s.

Then
adverb:
1. at that time: Prices were lower then.
2. immediately or soon afterward: The rain stopped and then started again.
3. next in order of time: We ate, then we started home.
4. at the same time: At first the water seemed blue, then gray.
5. next in order of place: Standing beside Charlie is my uncle, then my cousin, then my brother.

Than
conjunction:
1. (used, as after comparative adjectives and adverbs, to introduce the second member of an unequal comparison): She's taller than I am.
2. (used after some adverbs and adjectives expressing choice or diversity, such as other, otherwise, else, anywhere, or different, to introduce an alternative or denote a difference in kind, place, style, identity, etc.): I had no choice other than that. You won't find such freedom anywhere else than in this country.
3. (used to introduce the rejected choice in expressions of preference): I'd rather walk than drive there.
4. except; other than: We had no choice than to return home.
