Auto-xing in a genesis coupe
Hey guys,
What class do you all think I would be put in with Genesis? Its completely stock except for a reflash and a set of aftermarket rims and tires. Would I be put in a higher class because its turbocharged, even though its stock?

I'm going to assume you're interested in SCCA events and classing.
First and foremost, you won't run in any class other than Novice for a while, so don't sweat this issue too much.
Stock the Genesis Coupe V6 falls into F Stock. The Genesis Coupe 2.0t falls into G Stock. For anyone else interested all other Hyundais are in H stock.
You do not qualify for stock classing because of your reflash. Also, if your wheels are not the same diameter and width as stock, or even if they are and the offset is more than 0.25" different from the stock wheels then your wheels will not qualify for the stock class.
If your reflash allows for more boost and/or modifies the traction control parameters then it is also not legal for Street Touring. I would assume your reflash did. If not, you can run in STX as long as your tires are 265mm or less in width and your wheels are no more than 9" wide.
That leaves you most likely to be in Street Prepared. Specifically ESP. This isn't exactly fair. It could be worse though, somehow the Tiburon is actually classed higher by the time you get to Street Prepared (DSP). I would always advise you to read classing and modification guidelines before modifying a car if you plan on racing it if you're interested in staying competitive in a class.

Here's a link to SCCA's rulebook.
SCCA ruebook
It looks like a stock 2.0 Genesis is in GS.
The stock V6 Genesis is in FS.
All Tiburons are in HS.
Wheel Width and Tire Model might affect class also.
The reflash May affect class also. (Electrical system)
