lol sorry i said i was finished, but like I said i didnt buy it for speed.  I could have bought a V12 BMW 8 series for less as well or one of many other cars that are faster and cost less
Anyway I cant wait to see the official photos of this "Genesis" |
Since this thread, I started receiving R&T myself. I ran accross the testing summaries and noticed that the TC that ran 0-60 in 6.9 was the 200 hp supercharged TRD model. Does this describe your car? Somehow yours looks to have the standard 161hp/162lb-ft drivetrain.
So to clarify, the top of the line supercharged performance edition TC competes with the secretary variety Mustang (atleast in a straight line.)
Sport Compact Car enthusiastically tested the normal TC as going from 0-60 in 7.8
It seems that my initial Oldsmobile comparison was appropriate after all.
One last update, the 3.8 litre engines in '88 had 166 hp and 210 lb-ft of torque. This would be good for run of under 8 seconds given that the comparable Olds with the less capable 3.3 litre (contrary to what I said earlier, the 3.3 does actually have less hp and torque than the 1988 3.8) managed an 8 flat.
