I'm not sure what happened in the last 5 seconds, but it can't be good.

OK, so it's a Ford product, but none the less, it's worth a try.
My best was a 10.227

Urban dirtbiking!
There's a newer niche in motorcycles called anything along the lines of Supermoto, Supermotard, Hypermotard.. think of a dirtbike with it's long suspension travel, but street tires instead of knobbies.

I remember back in the late 70's / early 80's watching dirtbike / streetbike mix type racing on Wide World of Sports. I believe they called it Superbike racing then, but I'll have to look it up. They raced partially on a road course, partly on a flat dirt track, partly on a motocross course. I thought it was really cool, then it disappeared. It's back apparently.

We're trying out a rallycross series like that. The course is about 75% pavement (it's run at a circle track with a 1/4mi and 3/8mi) and 25% dirt, and the cars are run two at a time. First one to stop in their starting box wins.
LOTS of sturm, drang, sliding, locked brakes at the end, etc. It's huge fun. Next time I go, I'll be taking in-car video.
Downside: It's in Flint.

These comparisons NEVER mention warranties either. In this case the Hyundai's is way better...

But, but, but.... it comes from South Korea.... 
I'll still take a throaty Detroit V8, or in this case, the V6.
Ya gota admit, the Camaro wins on styling.

They'll cover the warranty until they get nuked by N. Korea.
I wonder which one will sell more?
Has anyone seen A Genesis on the road yet?
Why didn't they compare the Genesis to the Cobalt SS?

No, and probably because Genesis is RWD and Cobalt is FWD.MostMint wrote: Has anyone seen A Genesis on the road yet?
