Default A Hyundai???

A tuner Hyundai with an aftermarket turbo kit tried to race me I started in 2nd while we rolled up to a light that went to green and I could hear his turbo blow-off for about 2 seconds, hit 3rd for a couple seconds and realized I was wasting my gas and let off. The funny thing is it took him a good few seconds to catch up to me and he thought he was still racing.

I got to start taking my Go Pro HD camera with me!

I dunno if your car is stock but the new Genesis V6's are pretty quick. 300bhp. If that was turbo'd you could have a 400hp car easily. The larger Genesis's even come with 400-480hp V8's, but they're heavier.

Can't underestimate SOME of the little ricebangers these days.

Stock Hyundai Genesis Sedan RKSport Edition runs 0-60 mph in 4.8 and a 13.5 Quarter Mile. That is without a turbo. I'd put my money on the Hyundai.

I have a 385 stroker aout 500hp/tq 4 speed 370 rear. He was messing with me to race him before we got the light and I could hear the turbo blow off when he got on it. There weren't any cars around, so I figured he needed a lesson.

What the crap. Glad you taught him a lesson. And of course he did the famous ricer fly by at the end.
