well this according to the "zero to 60" website below, but i'm not sure as to the validity. 2012 v6 0-60 @ 5.3 seconds and the 1/4 miles 13.8 vs the 2009 v8 0-60 @ 5.5 seconds and the 1/4 mille 13.9.
5.0 r spec = 0-60 in 4.7 and the 1/4 mile @ 13.1

splitting hairs, i know, but i found it interesting and the fact that one can not only be quicker than the v8 w/ the new v6, but also save substantially on gas consumption.
i guess it's obvious why hyundai will be phasing out the 4.6 for the 5.0, which, according to "zero to 60", will acheive 4.7 seconds in 0-60. that makes the 5.0 worth it to me
but not in the r spec. i'll wait for the 5.0 to come w/ the non r spec sedan.
i just recently (july) purchased an 09 4.6 tech white / cashew genny @ carmax w/ 15k miles on her (1 owner lease and very clean) for 29,000 for my wife (she drives it to work and i get to wash it, although it's mine to drive on the weekends ). but back in june, we were considering a factory demo 2011 black 4.6 w/ 10k miles, but we were waiting for our CA state sales tax to come down in july, so we waited and lost that deal on the factory demo (they sold it) but saved approx 800.00 on the tax w/ the carmax purchase.
the bad thing w/ our 09 is of course the resale- an 09 will lose alot of $ in resale vs an 2011, but then again, we couldnt of touched the 2011 for 29k either, so i gues it's kind of a wash. either way, we're really happy w/ her.
i re badged her right away- front, back, and steering wheel (pop on only) and found this site to be extremely helpful w/ the badging process. it made the job quite easy and saved me big bucks doing it myself- thanks! i'll post some pics later.
but back to the 5.0, i think we'll wait a couple years for the 5.0 to come out in the sedan and then trade our 09 in for the 5.0. hopefully by then, hyundai will offer a sports mode switch (like bmw) for the tranny that firms-up the shifting. that would help the 5.0 tremendously imo. nevetheless, i can't wait for the 5.0 in the sedan.

Just joking, I know what you meant & welcome to the forum.
