Hyundai 5.0: What Mustang guys think of this new development?
New Hyundai Genesis 5.0 liter V8 in the sedan. 429 HP. I am just wondering what you guys think. They even have a familiar looking 5.0 badge!

I think they have to redesign the car before they can put it in. I read in many places that the engine bay in the coupe doesn't have enough room for the V8

They are stepping their game up, but it's not a pony car, it can have 600hp stock and I still wouldn't choose it over a mustang.

The mustangs 412 is underrated and this engine is already employing direct injection. give the coupe a good looking facelift and this engine and it would be a very nice car.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hyundai does just that. Only thing is, it will be pricey considering what a loaded Genesis coupe stickers at.

The Korean auto manufactures have made tremendous strides in recent years. Hopefully this will keep the American Companies always investing in improving their products.
