Yea the new Hyundai Genesis looks good on paper but it's still a dog. The new Camaros with the V6 application are pretty impressive running at 304 hp but they are still pretty slow due to the weight. Cars are getting heavier and heavier due to greater safety technology and emission laws. So what looks good on paper doesn't really look that great in reality.

I'm sorry but for the stock 3800 car I don't consider them slow. For what they are the cars are fairly quick. They are a family type sedan or coupe and can still beat ricers which the OP has posted. All in all that's all that matters to me.
A high 15 second car is not fairly quick. I'm sorry that you disagree.

The sad truth is most of what you would call today's 'ricers' would destroy the GT.
