K&N air filters for my 2015 Genesis 5.0

As in your millennial style of "I'M RIGHT! YOU'RE WRONG!!" mentality.

Seriously?

I think that you have no proof that I am wrong other than your personal opinion and is now deflecting by going off topic. Yes, my acceleration test results is flawed, however it brings more data to the discussion than just your opinion which you cannot back up.

I find it comical that you accuse me of having an "I am always right mentality" when in fact your posts have been stating that I am the one who is wrong based on your perception regardless of what I observed first hand.

If anyone has the need to be right mentality it is you.

I am stilling waiting on proof that my observations is incorrect.

Do several tests of stock vs. K&N using the equipment others have noted need to be used then maybe we can all talk.

Likewise.

I did one test, what did you do? Now it is your turn to prove that I am wrong by doing something other that typing negative responses.

I posted proof. You can't make the horsepower needed for 4.7. 5.0 could be doable on a cold day with a tailwind.

You did not post any acceleration number for the 5.0 engine. You are only speculating on what the 5.0 engine can do based on what you have done to your 3.3T engine.

Did you post any 0-60 time from a 5.0 Genesis? Stock or with an K&N filter? If so post here.

Say what? 5.1 seconds on a good day.

Where is the proof? Any log? How did you measure the 5.1 seconds? Was the engine using performance air filters? You are only posting a picture of your engine bay. Do you have any material that states the 0-60 time for it?

I at the very least have a 4.7 second run performed with the Torque GPS measuring app that I posted flawed or not; where is the visual proof of a measured acceleration run for your 5.0 V8?

Note: I got you mixed up with a member who is G80 sport owner.

Seriously?

Car and Driver has tested the 2015 Genesis 5.0 at 5 seconds, hence what I used as my base stock time to compare against what the Torque app measured my car 0-60 mph recently(4.7 seconds) with the performance air filters.

I want to know if you have proof for the time you claimed that your 5.0 Genesis performed. Not magazine blog speculations.

From the tests I've seen, the Draggy is accurate within a few 100ths of a second. So, at the Carguy legit ran a 4.7 sec 0-60 mph. Impressive! And, If his SIG is accurate, he only has k&n filters and a sprint booster. Doubly impressive!

Everyone is getting WAY too hung up published numbers. Acceleration is a very situational thing. It's fair to say that the Genesis runs 0-60 in about 5 seconds. 3 10ths of a second in either direction is not unheard of given environmental factors.

Whether my 5.0 'near-luxury' sedan makes it to 60 in 4.7 or 5.0 seconds (or 5.0+) really doesn't matter regarding my driving enjoyment of the vehicle.

I actually used an app called Torque Pro that uses the phone/tablet GPS signal to measure 0-60 times which is not as accurate as the Dragy measuring device supposedly. However, no one ever compared the two GPS measuring devices back to back from what I researched so they may be similar in accuracy.

You are correct that 3/10th of a second is not much so a run of 4.7 seconds is very possible and have occurred per my GPS 0-60 mph data. Right or wrong, I just assume that the performance air filters shaved of the 3/10th from the Car and Driver test of 5 seconds.

It may not matter to you, but it does matter to other owners.

Oh, I understand that it matters to others—this is obvious as I see so much effort put forth by many to simply squeeze off tenth of seconds from 0-60 times. I'd expect that in mustang/camaro forums, where the allure of those vehicles is in the speed/handling over comfort/luxury/etc.

Funny thing is that no human being would ever be able to feel the difference..

Are you God or something? I ask this because you are making statements as if you know what everyone else can notice or not. I believe that you should make your statement more opinions than fact.

Your statement should be something more like" I believe that it would be hard for an human being to notice such small changes in acceleration", not form a definitive statement like you posted.

Unless, you know for a fact that a person cannot perceive small changes in acceleration. If so prove it.

The Genesis 5.0 handles just as good as many of the Mustangs and Camaros, so why a person can not have both luxury and performance if the car is able to provide both? I like a car that can provide both hence why I own my Genesis 5.0.

LOL! So you are claiming you felt the tenth of a second change??

 

[MoonDoggy-X]

YES!

And I know how ridiculous that sounds. But it's all about perspective, my friend. There is somewhat of a lensing effect when it comes to speed. At the speeds we are talking, yes you'd feel the difference between a 4.7 sec car, and a 5.0 sec car. IF those cars would race, the 4.7 car would win by about 50 feet, or 3+ car lengths. That, you'd feel.

This is why people in the 10 sec 1/4 mile and faster range fight for 100ths of seconds...
