Daily Driven Genesis 3.8 R-Spec - The Slip Angle

[@lunaticleone8534]

Honestly bro. Amazing first video I love it

[@bobbyrios2k223]

One of the many cars i was checking out. Red and R-Spec.. they are so beautiful, comfy and fun! Even with all season's your still slaying people on the track

[@vg4472]

The 2013-2014 2.0 Turbo is lighter, has more torque, easier to steer, weave through traffic, and has less understeer. Minus is the Turbo shuts off around 115mph maxing out your torque there. I have the 2014 Ultimate in Red it's very heavy & bumpy on 19" rims otherwise no complaints at 64,000 miles.

Gennay is going to be back and better than ever. This is what modding is all about. You mod, test, adjust, and test again until it’s just right! She’s not too far off 🤙

[@jamesgarde8495]

IT NEEDS A LOT OF ADJUSTMENT, ESPECIALLY ON THE SUSPENSION & BETTER TIRES.

[@ricepony33]

Maybe some camber plates for the front and a different set of wheels and tires for track stuff. Don’t ruin the low grip street fun!

[@mattwiser7982]

Low grip street fun was this cars entire purpose! I think we may have found the right solution, stay tunded!!

[@wadesloan]

When I had my Genesis Coupe I ran a square setup at the track and the handling was pretty neutral. Man I miss that car so much!

[@mikeyp8020]

It's always great to watch and hear feedback about a car, thanks for this insight. But it's definitely a nice family car/daily!!!

[@TheSlipAngle]

Our pleasure!

[@Elwood32617]

Go to a sqaure tire/wheel setup?

[@mattwiser7982]

Yeah, this may need to happen

[@mark883nm]

On track the car doesn't like the aggressive touch, but clean lines, if you are aggressive the car wants only one thing, drift, setup the camber, better tires, let the steering wheel open from apex acceleration, the car just grips and pushes you forward. Once you got to understand how the car works it's really great and can embarass some more blasonated cars of around same power/weigth ratio. it's just a blast to drive, and as you said, very fun car :). The only true weakness of the car is in the transmission both manual and auto are performance capping, the manual it's not enough fast and the AT8 is too much conservative/slow ecu, specially in downshifting.

[@jeffreycattelino3996]

Poor springs with the stock shocks and struts a set of bilstein b8s would be great for the progress springs.

[@mattwiser7982]

Yeah as soon as they are worn, B8s will be the next purchase.

[@jeffreycattelino3996]

@@mattwiser7982 I have the progress springs and the b8s they are great

[@williambeeler671]

With the track model he should have factory camber bolts. They can give a pretty solid amount of negative camber if you mess with them.

[@mattwiser7982]

I did play with the camber bolts and was only able to get half a degree of negative camber in the front. We take care of the camber problem in the next video though!

[@williambeeler671]

@@mattwiser7982 hell yeah im stoked to see it!

[@bmazur9988]

Sounds really good Matt!

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thank you!

[@CJ-fh5xq]

How heavy is your shift knob? I also have a coolerworx shifter and love it. I just want to cut down on vibration a little bit.

[@mattwiser7982]

That is a DC spots knob and I think it’s a pound. I was able to get rid of most of the rattle by installing that and backing off the little stopper screws for the reverse lockout.

[@---fk1ct]

I like this car. Thinking you'll get it to handle with some more tinkering. I will drop you guys a message when my car is ready, I'd love to see it reviewed. 2.5 NC with EFR turbo kit from Fab9 in Wisconsin. Track/street.

[@TheSlipAngle]

There's going to be a rebuttal this weekend!

[@ricepony33]

A friend just picked up a FAB 9 turboed NC. 350whp, absolute weapon.

[@will46and2]

I strictly Track my BK2, Coils and Sway Bars are a necessity. Keep it up!

[@bryanmurphy26]

Adjustable sway bars, a square set of grippy boiis next time.

[@nikooliver1]

Get the genesis tuned by alphaspeed And add Throttle controller for response

[@tragicnomadic]

Trying to rotate on a non square set always sucks. In autox I always hated it. That said you have to change your expectations with total grip and rely back into the chassis. Which to me is the big question. How is the genny chassis.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Alignment would change this quite a lot. We are testing this car again this weekend with a new alignment and some other tweaks. Same wheels/tires.

[@tragicnomadic]

@@TheSlipAngle front tire heat management might also like a pressure drop. But sweet! I'm in for the results.

[@enriquealvarez4702]

The turbo Genesis bk2 made more torque then v6 and was more balance through the corners.

[@TheSlipAngle]

V6 is nicer for daily

[@godzilla7391]

Thought the 2.0t made 275 torque and the 3.8 made 295 torque? Am I missing something? I'm biased though. Love my 3.8 rspec with light mods.

[@enriquealvarez4702]

266 ft lbs on v6 and its peak torque. Turbo has 275 flat torque from 2500 rpms.

[@godzilla7391]

@@enriquealvarez4702 Well, damn, everywhere I look it says 291lb of torque, even if that is peak torque, that's not bad

[@vg4472]

@@TheSlipAngle No it's not. I daily drove the 2013 2.0T, my 2014 3.8 Ultimate sits in my garage like a baby. The Turbo weaves through traffic much easier & with ISR pipes it sounds like a monster under bridges & actually gave off 6-8 different sounds at varying speeds.

[@BitcoinTo150K]

Hey it's piggy needs giant sticky tires all around probably 275 square

[@mattwiser7982]

Yeah that's definitely what it would need to be fast. I really like low grip on the steet though...

[@BitcoinTo150K]

@@mattwiser7982 I hear you that's tight technical track so of course favors the little guys better. Have a 350z same story heavy front ends rock square 255 all seasons most the time but have 275 grip too

[@jimmerriman6920]

You lost me at "all season tires"! lol That car deserves a nice set of summer wheels and tires, maybe a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4Ss or Nitto NT01s.

[@TougeTime]

Initial d tire sounds

[@TheSlipAngle]

lol

[@GaranPaneos]

All season tires at a track? Good luck. Beautiful car though. 😉

[@TheSlipAngle]

It's a daily driver, not a track car.

[@GaranPaneos]

The car looks great, sounds good. Love what ya do !

[@VictorPitstop]

That M3 was disgraceful 😠 That traffic reminded me of my track day yesterday… lots of traffic!

[@TheSlipAngle]

Eh it happens. Everyone's gotta learn somehow right?

@@TheSlipAngle 100%; I think I was having a salty day from my track day hahaha

[@jeffisevil]

Let’s blame the car and not owners choice in tires..

[@jeffisevil]

He went from 20’s to 18’s.. hmm I wonder what the engineers were thinking putting those 20’s on that car..

[@UberSpartanVG]

@@jeffisevil They put 20s on mainly for looks to sell the cars. 18s is a good size wheel for those cars. Bigger wheels doesn't mean it will handle better, just have some better response with higher sidewall rigidity, but at the cost of ride quality and ability to handle imperfections in the road as well as more expensive wheels and more expensive tires.

[@jeffisevil]

@@UberSpartanVG Larger tires improve handling and cornering, due to wider tread faces and stiffer sidewalls. Wider tires may decrease braking distances on dry pavement. Wider tires may also increase acceleration, especially in very powerful vehicles such as muscle cars.

[@UberSpartanVG]

@@jeffisevil Wider tires yes, 100%, but you said 18s vs 20s. Your not gonna see much difference between a 275/30-20 and a 275/40-18 on a 20x11 and 18x11. The sidewall rigidity does matter that much. But yes I understand width increases traction.

[@mattwiser7982]

I went from 19’s to 18’s and added the same amount of width in the front and back. This is only a street car and I wanted low grip tires so I can have a little fun without having to go very fast. The problem is/was with the car and not having the ability to do a proper alignment from the factory and we solve these issues in the next video.

[@mylesmadison8289]

that thing needs a rear bar...like yikes

Thank you guys, I am going to slit my wrists after that display….

[@TheSlipAngle]

Don't do it

[@jonathanstoddard7712]

@@TheSlipAngle but there is no reason why mattchu’s car should be handling like that, when he has all the resources at his disposal. It just makes me sad, more people need to talk about understeer it is a serious problem and it makes people sad. I am starting a help group for people that feel sad about their understeer and I will try to help them. Lol

These cars had potential... but they're just trash. I worked at Hyundai and also use to own one.
