[QUOTE="thomas91169, post: 11700706, member: 40530"] Yup, two things working against that, tbe left and right shock towers. The Tau 5.0 literally cannot fit in the current Gen Coupe engine bay. Another thing to think about, their current price point sucks. A 2.0t is $25k OTD if you get lucky, with a loaded 3.8 being low to mid $30's. Thats 5.0 GT territory already with a 100+hp defecit. They would need to price their 5.0 at that level to be competitive in the pony car market, and I dont see them trying to do that anymore. I think theyre more about going after the G37/370z's with their 3.8l offering. Though id love to see a 5.0 Gen Coupe with 430hp/6spd in the mix. Goodbye Challenger and Camaro, that little Genesis is very good in the turns especially the rspec/track package models. I want a Gen Coupe for my next car but will likely have to go used to get the price and options I want. The '13s wont have a track model 2.0t and the Rspec lacks cruise and steering wheel controls. The performance increase on the 2.0t is only due to them switching to the EvoX twin scroll turbo in lieu of a detuned single scroll one for the last run models, which you can do that swap yourself.
