I bought the genesis brand new and when I sold it to Carmax I got what i owed on it, so it was basically like leasing the car for one year.

I plan on keeping it stock for now and just doing brakes, tires, and auto x a few times this summer. But next year I plan on doing a turbo kit.

I LOVE the s2k so much more than the genesis. Handling is just night and day better. I love the high end power compared to the low end power of the gen. I always hesitated to get this car because it felt small inside but its actuality fine and quite comfy. And the top down is AWESOME. Honda all the way!!!

If your going to do a lot of auto x, dump the turbo idea and concentrate on suspension and light wheels and high performance tires.

The genesis was a great car to daily drive but the fun factor is nowhere near the s2k. It was real easy to slide which was fun but with 19" wheels it was costly to keep that habit up. The car was just so heavy and felt so too. It was more of a hassle to get around in it compared to the s2k.
