99 SS vert VS 04 TL and 2011 Genesis 2T This past weekend, I went to "Mexico" and had a chance to race two of my friend. All race were from a roll.
Raced the Genesis 2.0T multiple times, and it was not funny cause I thought he was not racing. That was how bad it beat him.
Raced the 2004 Acura TL from 70, I put it in 4th, and had about 4 cars on him by the end of 4th. He started in 4th, but downshifted to 3rd cause he thought his car was not pulling. I told him, your car ran fine, it's just that I have 100 more HP than you.
Why did I post this? I am bored, so sue me!

The Genesis are actually pretty nice/quick cars for the price you pay... but there is no way in hell a stock Turbo Genesis is going to be anywhere NEAR an LS1 anything. Was the TL a Type S 6spd?

I was not being a dick and a bully, but they wanted to see how fast their car is.

You're either trolling on me, or you didn't really read what I said.
The 4cyl Genesis runs what, high 14s/low 15s?

A comparable G37 costs 15k more and runs the same times at the track...

Must have been a "Fair Market Value Adjustment" aka: dealer markup... or some stupid dealer installed options that are worth jack ****.
Not to mention the base 2.0T is $22k and the Rspec is $24.5k.
The 2.0T track was a stupid idea in the first place, which it was why it was ditched. Still more like $25.5 than $29k.

Obviously. That's why local dealers try to sell 5th gens for 40k+ or used ones for 37k+. 
(Not as bad anymore though) We are plagued by mega-markup around here.
Trust me, I was astounded at the price. The V6 wasn't much more, but wasn't a Track version.
