GT86 vs Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.6 R

The drivers seat , while having nice electric adjustments, lacks comfort and support. As much as I love acceleration I can honestly say that our twins are more satisfying to drive. I'll take the Hyundai genesis off my list of cars I'd rather have.


Like: 348 HP, Brembo brakes, electronics, useful back seat


Dislike: handling, gas mileage, seat support, visibility, body styling

Why did you like the Brembo brakes? Is it because they're Brembo branded? I've heard they're monobloc, but they fade pretty quickly on the track.

I would imagine that could be fixed fairly easily with a new set of pads...

The 3.8 Coupe, no matter what version is a GT car. They can label it anything they want, put all the colorful junk brakes they want, itll STILL be a GT car and thats EXACTLY why i got it. Big power, cushy ride, beautiful interior, tech galore, shitty MPG and the sweetest sounding V6 Ive ever heard.

Same is largely true with factory brakes on the twins. No stickers needed.

Excellent post.

I agree.

To be fair, and I honestly reiterate this to everyone, the fact that they stock fitted all-season Bridgestone Potenzas to this car is a disgrace.

I find myself spinning through almost every single gear in the rain, and even in dry conditions, the car slides instead of gripping.

This close to just ordering Pilot Super Sports and taking a loss on the factory tires.

I'm glad you can't maintain a discussion without resorting to childish behavior.

Lol, someone didn't get the memo about Hachirokus and Intial D.


I think the Prius tires are great and do exactly what they were supposed to do (have fun at low speed and get good mpg). Buy another set of track wheels and rubber, that's what the car was designed to hold in the back.

Imitation? I'm flattered!


But to straighten things out...
