Default Hyundai vs Z06?

Guy in the neighborhood has some kinda 1 of 400 hotshot Hyundai Genesis with Brembo brakes he claims blows the doors of his buddy's Z06. The guy used to build and race competitive sprint cars so he is definitely a car guy.
Say it ain't so, Willis!

I am sure it is possible. But it is a Hyundai. He cant change that.

Hard to say, as the base V8 is rated at 420 HP, so I have no idea what these so called special 400 have for power plants, but with a good single or duel turbo, it is very possible that it will blow the doors off a stock Z06.

Probably this aftermarket tuner. But it's still a Hyundai...

Anything is possible with enough money. It would take a good bit of money even in a straight line, never mind the corners. I'd say most Z06 drivers have nothing to worry about. Plus, it's FWD, it'd have to have drag radials to even hook with that power.
