You Tube Vid

[Fast01Rio]

ok awhile back there was a vid of a Genesis Coupe on You Tube facing off against a 370Z and a Gt Mustang, well the end result is the Coupe ran a respectable 14.2 and 99 MPH but losing to both the Z and the GT. now the forum i live on Streetkiaz.com is in a heated debate on how it's a let down. so i would like to know if this car is a good car to own? and performance wise how well does it hold to those 2 cars? now the test really don't tell you what motor or trans it has in it, i assumed it was the 3.8 but buy the looks and sound it is a 2.0T with a Auto. Anyone see this vid? and if so what is your comments?

Apparently HMA "detuned" the factory ECU to safeguard the engine. The factory setting of the ECU will cut boost to the turbo when approaching redline. After the faceoff comparison, HMA engineers re-programmed the ECU to keep the boost pressure up and the final result was about the same as the other two cars. The ECU tuning can be done by any reputable tuners.

that i can understand but also another question which Coupe was it they were testing at the time? i know it was Car and Driver but was it the 306 HP V-8 with a manny or auto or was it a 2.0T with a manny or auto??? also they are saying the Genesis is not priced accordingly to the market of the other cars? what do you all think?
