He even took me in to look at the v6 tiburon. I was standing there staring at the 3.8L they had and was loving it, interior looked great and he comes out and starts up, tells me to come in and look "at this, its the tiburon... what engine does your balt have?" I say "2.0L 4 banger." "Oh, well this is a 2.7 v6, manual, definitely nicer" "Oh really, does that heavy thing have 275Hp or so, ughm, and that number is off the bottle" Weird look from him so I keep going "yea, my lil' 4 is just Supercharged, stage II and custom tune with full exhaust and for extra giggles its on a bottle, but I am sure you do not know what I mean by bottle so... it runs on nitrous when I need which is mainly just for track days."

His attitude finally changed, I hate sales guys like that, thinking I am some stupid kid. I told him I was just looking and did not care to look at Tiburons so I went back out to look at the Gen. again. He started in on how the 3.8 has instant power, no lag as trying to say I have that in my car, guy obviously doesn't know what a SC is haha. Finally managed to get out of there, woulda asked for a test drive but I am sure they would only let you drive the 2.0 and that wouldn't impress me plus with a dumbass like that working who wants to even bother.

But yea, definitely nicer up close and in person.

LOL that's funny, I like the gen coupe, exterior is nice except for the front, but the front looks good at an angle, but dead on it's got to grow on you

I would like to see an comparison with the 3.8 and the 370 .... that would be interesting
