For a $30k family sedan that's pretty quick when looking back at some of the muscle cars from the mid 2000s

Well yeah, technology is 15 years advanced and 13.7 is no longer considered quick. You gotta be 13 - high 12s to be considered quick this day and age.

how that genesis? like them cars only looking at the 5.0 models only
I have the 4.6..its a good car overall,tons of space,quick tor its size..I heard the 8 speed transmissions are kinda its weak point..I have the 6 speed its been good to me.Car isn't bad on gas but you will spend over $60 when you fill it up. I'd take the chance on the 5.0 if I were u tho.

This is a mid level entry family sedan putting up numbers like that and probably getting 30 mpg :wow:

Put this in perspective..those numbers are the same a 2004 Pontiac GTO and 2008 Pontiac G8 GT..this is faster than my V8 Genesis :wow:

Am I the only one impressed with these new cars performance numbers..shyt has a 2.5l turbo and quick like that smh

Damn, didn't know this. This is making me rethink about my 09 pontiac g8 gt. Two things are stopping me front jumping ship NOW are the insane new and used car prices & the fact that I have not had a car note in 5 years. When I do look again, I have my eye on the Kia Stinger GT2. It should be way quicker than the Kia K5.

I was going to get a G8 GT years ago but couldn't justify the mileage,year and price they wanted. I'd wait to if I were you..everything is overpriced rite now

New car pricing kinda wild now. 30k for a regular family sedan? I agree with the thread though.

Very much so.

This is mostly seen in the "trap" speeds of cars today.

Today's Mustang GT is doing 120mph at the end of the quarter mile today.

In 1995 that was 95mph. In 2000, that was 100mph. In 2010, that was 110mph.
