New to autocross
« on: April 23, 2012, 10:42:54 PM »
Hey everyone! I'm looking to try my first autocross event on May 13 with Steel Cities. I just bought a brand new 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 V6 two weeks ago. Its a blast to drive and I'm sure it will be pretty fun to dig around an autocross course with it :) Here's a couple pics..

Very cool.  Interestd to see how that runs; I was just trying to convince someone that they need to trade in the accord for the 3.8 R-Spec.

Welcome!

Welcome aboard  :)

Nice looking coupe!  That has the new V6 making almost 350hp right?  Hopefully you got either the track or R-spec.

Thanks :)  Yep it makes 348hp. Its the r-spec. Pretty much the same as the track as far as suspension, brakes, tires, and wheels.. just less bells and whistles ;) Should be a little better for cross since its a little lighter than the track lol.
