    18 inch wheels and tirea for 5.0

    I'm really curious to know how much more response and mpg you can get by reducing unsprung wheel weight. I would imagine it will be much more responsive with lighter wheels and thicker tires. I wonder if it will achieve 19 to 20 mpg with the change alone. yeah it wont look as nice and...

    2012 5.0 Throttle delay and extended operation

    Do all 2012 5.0 Genesis cars experience the delayed acceleration and continued acceleration for two seconds after you remove your foot from the pedal? Does a software update exist that makes the throttle operation more like other vehicles? It is a little hair raising to accelerate out from a...

    Genesis 5.0 fuel choice?

    I am considering getting a Genesis 5.0 in the near future. I have a question about the engine's fuel requirements. I have seen somewhere that you can use either premium or alternately regular fuel if you are willing to give up a few HP. Is this true? If so is there a noticable difference in...

    who has a "good" 2012 5.0 R-Spec

    Not all on-line ads show the picture of the VIN plate so I'm trying to figure out what VIN range has the updated (no oil consumption) engine. I've found a VIN ending in 193037 that has a date of MAR/04/12. Who has a known "good" car and what are the last 6 digits of your VIN? I'd love to pick...

    2015 5.0 "Big Brakes" conundrum.

    I'm coming to the 2015 Genesis from a 2013 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track. Half the weight of the 2015 Genesis Sedan and roughly twice the braking power. How the Sedan ever got out of the plant as the "Ultimate" with milk-bottle caps for brakes is beyond me. The first time my father drove it, he almost...

    any chance the 5.0 base suspension is lower ?

    any chance the 5.0 base suspension is lower than the 3.8 is the base 5.0 suspension supposed to be firmer than the 3.8 ? I know for sure the steering is a bit noticeable harder, but can't say for sure about the suspension because the 19 inch thinner lower profile tires can be the...

    Recently I had the mufflers on my 2015 5.0 Ultimate swapped out for two offset single entry, dual out, Magnaflow mufflers, (I'm afraid I don't know the part number). The car sounds absolutely amazing when throttled. It was a hilarious ride home to have the luxury of an S-Class with...

    5.0 L V8 Oil/Filter Change 2015

    Everyone who has done the oil/filter change on the 2015 Genny V8 (including dealers) seems to agree that it is a first rate bear to remove the under panels that prevent ready access to the filter assembly and drain plug. The long rear panel that covers the pan drain plug is particular hard to...

    Question on pricing for used RSPEC 5.0

    Hello all, Used to own a 2012 Genesis Coupe 3.8 RSPEC. Loved the car but needed more practicality so I bought a WRX. Never really liked it and missed my Genesis. Long story short after about a month of cross checking, test drives, and pricing, I've decided the Genesis Sedan RSPEC is the car...

    Does anyone know if there are differences to these models other then the obvious engine upgrade? 1. It looks like the bumpers may be different on the 5.0 which also look to include fog lights. 2. 19" wheels vs 18" wheels 3. Auto dampening suspension

    5.0 Dewwww engine sound when stopped

    Can someone tell me what is making the dewwww engine sound once I come to a stop. It sounds like the late 70's chevy motor that had an air pump injector for the cylinders. If the radio is off, and I come to a complete stop, about two seconds later the dewwww sound can be heard, and then goes...
