New Member: Black 2012 3.8 R-Spec

[Top Gear]

Hey Genesis lovers, wanted to say hello! I bought my "Black Beauty" in March and since just before then have lurked this and other forums. Thanks to you all for helping me decide on the car, as well as how I might feel about various mods, by way of your comments. Finally decided to join in the discussion on this forum

I've also grown very tired of the "other" forum on AutoGuide, where they enforce one topic and one topic only - supermodding the 2.0T Coupe. Even the moderators will shout you down if you try to express a different, even factual, point of view about the V6 and V8 cars. Had enough, and so I figured I'd better migrate over here Am I welcome??

Maybe I'm a gusher, but this is my daily driver and I'm very pleased. Hyundai has done an excellent job giving us an R-Spec model that really requires no modding - wanting mods is another matter, of course. My only small gripe sometimes is, if standing close, it needs to sit about an inch or two lower, mainly in the front. Yet, I do NOT want to lose the impressive balance and handling of the R-Spec, which I frequently put to use!

As those of you with black coupes know, the Becketts Black is a pearl metallic, and with the Genesis emblems, 19s, and Brembos, alreadly looks rare and custom in person, very much like an exclusive supercar or some mysterious interceptor. The rock star attention it gets is intoxicating, when it isn't annoying

Thanks again!

Welcome to the forum - glad to have another coupe owner join

Thanks - it's been a while and I've looked around and posted here - very few Coupe owners are active. Even the Coupe threads are dominated by Sedan drivers, somehow - what happened?? The larger Coupe forum on another website is very active, but totally dominated by turbo guys who talk about one thing endlessly and shout down everyone else, so it's hard to know where to spend my forum-posting time

I'm terribly late but I want to give my "Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up" message.

 

[Top Gear]

Thanks! I've settled in a bit, and I've suggested the site to other Coupe folks! Discussion here is very welcoming

Congrats, and welcome!
