It’s very, very fast. Corners kind of odd though... Anyone else feel that or am I just being sensitive .

Mine (before the mod) was hard to upset, but when you did upset it, it was unpredictible, sometimes it’d understeer, sometimes it’d oversteer.... the suspension is too soft for any sort of fun cornering in any setting too.

Hmmm... I was getting on the interstate (cloverleaf style) and it felts like it was crab walking or something. Also felt oddly heavy. I also had an awful day at work so maybe it was just me. Going to see how it feel srest of the week.

The one I drove never really felt that fast. Like most turbo engines, it was out of steam 3/4 the way to the red line.

I get the crabwalking sense too! It does have torque vectoring and a limited slip differential if it’s the GT2. Though both might be too agressive.

Jealous.  My Kia dealer invited me to come drive one any time, but I haven’t had the time.  And I won’t get the seat time you’re getting.

At first I read it as $500k and thought you had some kind of Hyundai construction equipment.

Hmmm. I don’t think you got it in boost then or didn’t get a good chance at it . This thing was headache inducing fast.

Yeah, I’m going to have to run it around my fun roads and see what it’s like in the twistys . It weighs as much as the ISF so that’s not a good sign.

Also, found out someone managed to hit the back of the ISF in the 100 or less miles I’ve driven it in the last month.

Of course it didn’t feel good to you mister “8000rpm”

Though I agree, the sweetspot is definitely at lower RPM

You’re not wrong. I mean, yes, it’s a Grand Tourer not a sports car. But I’ve driven Buicks  with less body roll.

All engines are differnt, it loses its realnesses after a certain RPM. My dad’s 135is feels the same way, a lot more shove at lower RPM.

That unit is turbocharged as well, isn’t it?

I love turbos, but I also love high revs and cheap maintenance, they call me “impossible man”
