Wow, thats impressive. A drift racer got the back end loose on a 300+ hp rwd car. Hold on, thats not impressive at all. It might be hard to do in a Challenger R/T but only because Dodge doesn't let you turn off all the electro-nanies. The Camaro won't have such a problem.

Relative to Hyundais other offerings, this is impressive. But stacked up against the competition it will leave a lot of people desiring more.

Actually the Evo X would out handle all 3 of those, including the Charger, Camaro, Lambo, etc, whatever.

So I'd relist that "Big Three" as Genesis(maybe), Evo X, WRX STi.

....but hey that's just on paper, plus you gotta throw in the fanboy factor, so, what do I know.

Don't the new Sti's suck? Like really, really hard? I'd Say 370z would be a better contestant that an STi. So i say the Asian 3 would be the Genesis (maybe), Evo X and 370Z

Oh crap........this is going to go strait to his "HEMI HEAD"...

Why must some of y'all hate on MM so much? So far, all he has done is actually prove that there is more competition out there than just the Stang and Chally. For all we know right now, this thing could be a legit competitor. It may not win, but I think will keep up on a twisty road course. Thank Muscle Master for the video, nice find

Its not enough to make a difference except in high end racing. And there would be so many other factors in play at the point that 280 lbs would not be hard to get rid of.

I can't see the Genesis beating the SS, the Weight/HP ratio is 11.6 for Genesis, 9.0 for Camaro, much better. Heck, even the G37, which the Genesis looks, acts, and feels like, has a better Weight/HP ratio of 11.0
Yeah my bad, I don't know what I was thinking last night lol...wow. Fail for me.

I still think the Sti is better than the Genesis.



STI, Evo, Z.



and of course, the Z would be the only one id ever be caught dead in .

if it does well, it will surprise me. However i still don't think its qualified past an Evo, Z or Sti. I don't see one thing about the car which makes it better than any of these.. in any aspect.

The 0-60 for the new STI is 4.7 sec......it moves

The WRX STI is slower than the STI......look it up the wrx just handles better

I hope it moves. it starts at 35k the STI that is. The WRX STI is the same is the STI their is no STI with out the WRX. The STI handles better and has more power than the WRX.
