lol silly Honda boys. You do realize the motor in the new Genesis (4B11) is basically the same thing as the Evo X motor right?

[SpEcRv9]

except weaker....

bottom line is hyundai isn't the hyundai it used to be, and people that are still on the "it's only a hyundai" kick are idiots.

He died

[JB'sLGT]

Millen, whose father Rod held the overall record before Tajima, struggled with mechanical issues and settled for a time of 11:06.208 and finished third in the Unlimited Class.
"Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong today," said Millen, who set the 2WD Time Attack Class record a year ago.
"We had a transmission issue right at the start, I overheated my front brakes and got loose in one turn. We'll be back fighting for that 10-minute barrier next year." he said.

Absolutely crazy.

How are you still a member of this forum?

Anyways, that thing is sick. Pretty amazing the HP they are putting out of hyundai motors now. Hyundai really did a 180 with the genesis. I'm interested to see what kind of builds everyday people come out with as the car gets a bit older.

[evomike]

That thing is so far from a Hyundai and a Hyundai motor.

[Honest_Bob]

In for the results! :eek:

[RWDTurbo149]

yeah stinks he had problems, but i'm sure they will get all the bugs worked out for next year.

Here is an on-board view of his run from last year in the Genesis Coupe, skip to like 1:50 to see the transition to dirt, WOW all i gotta say is Rhys is one hell of a driver :eek::screwy:
