the only thing these blocks share are a common base design.

Meaning DOHC 16v i4 w/ 86mm bore & stroke.

Like an SR20, 4g63, and 3sgte just to name a few from j-land. Common design across manufactures for years.

I agree, but those are all very good motors. You have seen all those engines make over 1000hp and been proven in the autocross, rally, pretty much any type of racing. Lets see if this can follow in those footsteps.
 
with a company like ams already hard at work, im sure its only a matter of time. since its a new car, hyundai will more than likely offer factory sponsorships for drag cars - maybe even build their own. Either way, shops will want to capitalize on all the new buyers itching to mod so i'm sure you'll be seeing some bad ass Genesis(es?) in a short period of time.
 
call me crazy but it's too late for nissan to come up w/ a 240 successor in the states atleast. I hope that the Genesis Coupe becomes a total success so that other companies follow suit like toyota and their "toyo-subie" car.
 
Nah nissan has a platform and parts bin already. They could spit out an "s16" in no time.
 
Dan got a chance to take the brake pads out of the Brembos yesterday and found something quite interesting.

The front pads are identical to the Evo VIII-X except that the pads have a large portion of the friction material's leading and trailing edges milled down to effectively make the friction area much smaller. This is not the typical leading / trailing edge taper you see on pads to reduce stress risers, but a blatant removal of material to reduce front brake power.

It appears that Hyundai might have grabbed an off the shelf Brembo kit for another application and slapped it on the Genesis Coupe and then found brake bias issues. Instead of the band-aid fix (cutting the pad area down), they should have properly sized the brake master cylinder and caliper pistons.

The rear pads are much larger than the Evo VII-IX and even the Evo X pads so we need to look into pad options as this size pad is new to us.

AMS will be exploring the brakes a lot more to see where we can make improvements and sort out any factory deficiencies to open up more pad options.

^^ Thats awesome though. Just slap on evo pads in the front and some awesome pads in the rear and have better breaking with a hundred or so bux.
 
111ft 60-0 according to edmunds. Real nice.

They did say this though

Pedal is almost too soft, and effectiveness is not as good as expected for a brake system bearing the Brembo name. Luckily, distance is OK.

I bet some ss lines, good fluid, and aftermarket evo pads would really improve on feel and bite unless the MC is just completely undersized.

Found this too

We suspect flexing in the master cylinder causes the pedal softness
