v8

I have a new 2012 V8, 4.6 Genesis, and would like know what the best gas to use.

:confused:Do you think that Hyundai over rated the output of the 4.6 V8? I have the 2011 4.6 rated at 385HP on premium, which is what I put in the tank. Only engine modification is a K&N filter. There are times when it just doesn’t feel like a 385HP car. I traded in a 2006 Avalon with a 3.5 V6...

ok i have sound from the radio , my ipod, cd's but not my dvd movies. I did notice that i have a icon in the lower part on my screen thats a pic of a road with a speaker on it with a X over the speaker, i havent found out what that icon means & i have looked in the DIS manual, so i need help in...

Does anyone have any info when the V8 4.6 2012 Genesis will be at dealers in New York?

Yup, I have my V8 wheels and tires for sale. Wheels have the proper wing emblem contoured with the wheel pattern, and do come with the TPMS. One wheel has a very minor curb rash hardly noticable and is located on the SE part of the wheel on the 1st picture. Tires are Sumitomo HTR ZIII's...

First off, let me make clear that I don't own an R-Spec, and can't afford to buy one right now. I did however enjoy watching this video review and picking out the differences I could identify (thanks scottdk for the youtube reference I nabbed from the R-spec thread): <object width="640"...

Now that I have finally reached the break in period for my 4.6, I've been driving a bit more aggressively. I'm very happy with the 4.6 as it is very quiet and smooth, which is what I want most of the time. However, there are times I wish the motor made more noise, like an aggressive V8 growl...

This is the most I've squeezed out of a tank of gas..... do you think I was running on fumes?

I did a back to back test drive of a 2012 4.6 and 2011 4.6. Aside from the difference in exterior styling, I really could not convince myself of any significant differences between the 2. The driving experience was very similar. I tried to discern whether the suspension was any different, but...

Hey Everyone, I'm new to this forum. In '07, my hubby bought me a Honda S2000 (which we both love). He now wants a 4.6 Genesis. Anyone know when they will be available in the Upper Midwest area?

Canada discontinuted 4.6 this year compared to USA still keeping them till next year. It seems there will be only v6 3.8 and 5.0 R-spec next year if they go similar to Canada right now. Will this cause 4.6 to drop significant value coming summer 2012 like all discontinued model/trim did in the...

For the last few months I've basically decided to get a 2012 BMW 535i as my next car, which should become available this October. Then lately I've read some positive reviews about the 2012 Genesis sedans, so I decided to go for a test drive. Today, I drove the 2011 genesis v8, 2012 genesis v6...

Its about time. A V8 finally hit the lot today, too bad its black but I am going to drive it anyway. Circle pricing lists it at $1500 more than a v6 prem/tech. I'll give you the details if no one else does today.

At least, if cars.com listing can be trusted. In the Washington, D.C. they are saying some 2012 4.6L's are on lots, and priced around the 40,5XX range. At first, I thought it must be an error, but there seems to be too many of them to all be mistakes. I thought the pricing was going to be a...

Little help here for a newbie. Got a 2005 Acura TL which has 189k miles on it, has killed two deer, and run over a wooden door at 85 MPH (don't ask). Used to love this car, but well, it rides like a bucket now, and still has a freaking cassette deck in it. Test drove a Genny a month ago, and...

I just came back from a 2000 mile round trip. I averaged going 8.1L/100KM or 29.03 MPG. Return trip was 7.5L/100KM or 31.36 MPG. Cruise control set at 118KM or 73.32MPH NO AC...windows closed except sunroof tilted up for more air circulation. Weather was avg. 16C or 61F on my way there and avg...

I just got back on a 550 mile road trip with the Genesis. The 1st day I went from my home in Andover, MN to Tofte MN to go hiking at Carlton Peak that overlooks Lake Superior. This was 230 miles, and I averaged 28.1 mpg @ a cruise control set 71 mph according to the GPS, which is actually my...

I haven't even had my 2010 Genesis V8 for 3 months, and it died halfway home home to Mom for Mother's Day. The cause is undiagnosed, but when I heard bad knocking and lost power, I pulled over quick on the freeway. I saw some coolant under the car after stopping, and saw smoke coming out of...

My driver seat heater (and now cooler) turns itself off if set to 3rd/2nd levels after 2-3 minutes of driving around. The buttons go dead - no light, no reaction to pressing. Takes the car restart to get it working again, and again just for a couple of minutes. Does not happen if the car is...

First, I am aware of the limitations of the transmission, and will probably need to beef that up(add a modified torque converter) 2nd I am aware of the limitations I may incur with regard to warranty. What I am looking for is support, suggestions, ideas, brainstorming - etc with regard to...
