Anyone know what the best 1/4 mile time is so far in a 3.8 Genesis coupe?

The Genesis Coupe is not a track star. It is not built well for 1/4 times.

2.0T are hitting 12s with turbo upgrades. idk about 3.8s. most likely slower.

I look at a 3.8 driver as someone who wanted to say "I have a bigger motor and no further aspirations."

i see the average 2.0t owner as someone who wanted to say "i have a turbo motor to impress my friends regardless of how the rest of the vehicle performs"

There little aftermarket support fort he 3.8s and they don't really see the performance gains the 2.0Ts get. A stock tune puts a 2.0 almost on par with the 3.8s. If you want to keep it stock, get a v6.
