      Or maybe you could make one for the SAAB 93 Turbo X.

      @@ethankearney8240 every car has its issues. I have 130k on my Gen. Its FBO and makes good power, I beat the shit out of it all the time and just do maintenance. The M6VR1 trans is kinda glitchy but that can be fixed with just a mount, better fluid and better shifter. The M6VR2 from mid 2013 and up is way better and when you do the mods said above it makes the trans shift like butter and can hold well over 600wtq with just a clutch upgrade. It's more about maintenance and how you drive the car which is the same for any platform.

      I'm not trying to shit on the car, like I said I found it very attractive from power to price and I still do to a certain extent. I just wanted to get more info from other people. Working in a service dept I saw a 1.6 liter fiesta bust a giant hole in the oil pan by hitting something on a major highway and then driving 15 miles to my dealership and not blow up. We didnt even realize what the problem was until we got it into the air cuz on it's way there all the oil must've been shot out of it so it didnt leave a trail. I've seen the same car break down for way minor things. The community tho is where I wanted to do more research on various different experiences people have had with the vehicle.

    As a 2014(BK2) 3.8 Ultimate (Track version) owner, I can definitely say that these are fun and great looking cars. Here's some tips if you're looking into one.
    The 3.8 is faster from factory sure, but the 2.0T is much easier and cheaper to make faster than the 3.8. The 3.8 can definitely make a good 20-40hp gains while staying N/A with full boltons and a proper tune, but to even get close to 400 wheel you'll have to boost it. However both engines can only handle 500bhp on stock block, so beware. Also, tuning companies are very rare, we're down to 2 since BTR stopped tuning gens. One is SFR in PA, and the other is Alphaspeed which does remote tuning. I currently have the Alphaspeed tune with a few boltons.
    Also, when you buy your genesis, I recommend buying any of the track models, not only do they come with Brembo brakes from factory, but they also come with an LSD. I know many people who buy the base model say they will get those later on, but very few actually do. Plus if you buy it from factory then your differential is under warranty.
    Overall I definitely recommend the car to anyone looking for one. Its fun, fast, I've gapped quite a few VQ's, and with the right exhaust the 3.8 sounds beautiful.

    The Genesis is SUCH a fun car. I picked up a Flood Salvage 2013 Genesis 2 .OT with 26k miles 4 years ago.... I got it for $11,500 TT&L and have not had ONE single issue in that time frame (with the exception of scraping the front bumper and human error things since it was lowered when I bought it. I have daily driven it and am about to hit 92,000 miles. -Once again, not a single issue.
    At this point, "Venom" has paid for herself 20 times over so, I'm absolutely cool with getting into ECU flashes and upgraded inter coolers and all of that. If she finally breaks, well it was fun and I would honestly go find myself another one. I knew I was taking a risk on that F.S Title when I bought her so I made that purchase with the intention of keeping her until she doesn't run anymore.
    This is the ONE car I've owned that I tell people that without a doubt if my 2013 2.OT was totaled today, TOMORROW I would go out and pick up another one in a different color LOL.
    Not for everyone - That's okay! But personally, I love it.

    I have a 3.8 Ultimate. Threw a K&N air intake in it as well as a new exhaust kit and it sounds amazing (and pops when you down shift or let off the gas). But when he said there’s not much you can do to it to add power unless you boost it, he’s 100% right. There are a few mods you can purchase on genracer or a bunch of other websites that carry gencoupe products but none of them will add much power. Also, beware before buying this car. Parts are not cheap if it breaks down. I’ve had to replace the control arms, ball joints, you name it, and all of it has left a nice dent in my pocket. Otherwise it is a great car and in my eyes it’s pretty underrated!

The 2012 and under Bk1 versions can be a little underwhelming but BK2 2.0T is bae. #GenSquad

    I love my car, full bolt ons and a tune. She makes me happy. Some people don't see the attraction but I love my car and she goes fast for me.

In 3-4 years don’t be surprised when the turbo kit drops to around 4K and it will be easily available to make 430-460 WHP in a less than 14k car. Not to mention with spec d tail lights, double touchscreen mod, ark performance bumper and side skirts, the car will be drop dead gorgeous as well.

    I have a 2013 grand touring stock and have gotten so many compliments and zero problems that I didn't cause myself. Looking to get rid of it soon but still a great first car that will always have my heart

    Also the 3.8 can make decent power with just bolt ons naturally aspirated ive seen one make 346whp full bolt ons and the potential for them when built and turboed is amazing but just expensive also there's cheaper turbo kits for the 3.8 now this company is making one that has amazing welds and build quality for 4k shipped you will just need a tune from there which this company named alpha speed can do they build and tune some of the fastest genesis coupes and they do a lot of research and development and are still coming out with new products for it like just a few months ago they made a e85 conversion kit for stock ecu

    I have a 2015 Genesis Coupe 3.8 with a 6 speed manual. Getting more power out of it isn’t necessarily difficult, but you have to pay to play. The car has 52k miles on it right now, and I have had no significant issues with the car. All the issues I’ve run across come from mods I’ve installed on it. It’s a fun car, and 350 hp is plenty for a daily driver. The only thing that bugs me about it is the front end. I much prefer the look of the earlier models front ends, but that comes down to a matter of personal preference. It’s a solid car, and I’ve enjoyed owning it since I bought it. I would recommend it to anyone in the market for a fun daily that has the potential to break some necks. If you don’t rice it out, these cars can look spectacular.

      Considering buying one this weeek basically already decided to drive few hundred miles to get it. A 2013 r spec That looks amazing at only 12k maybe less and has the custom looking rims and racing seats. Not familiar with all the variants of models. Seems upper end lol but I Cant believe it and all the comments here keep reinforcing the decision. What do you think? Also mileage only 67k like what.... Engine as clean as it was off the lot
