What did you have done to it? I used to have an '05 SE with I/H/E and reflashed ECU and, yeah, the engine's anemic but besides the poor performance it was the most reliable car I've ever owned.

I came from an 03 v6 Tibby to my Z.....agreed they do suck. However for the 16K I paid for the brand new car it was pretty nice.

Doesnt the new genesis have a turbo 4 in it.

Guess just wait till they start making upgrades for it , could be interesting.

Never know one might even out run the people with stock z's.
With the right mods.

From the specs, this piece of crap (RWD) will pass you and he can look at your Z in the rear view!

LOL
