It's just about 3380lb for the V6, which is rated at 308hp. The turbo is like 3297lbs but only rated at 210hp.
BUT.... Something to think about... The original V6 coupe was designed to compete with the Mustang... Now that the Mustang has a 5.0, it blows the V6 coupe out of the water... Rumor has it around town here that Hyundai is bringing their own 5.0 to the table. And they already have a 4.6L V8 making 375hp so "If"/when this V8 Genesis rears it's head I would fully expect it to be 400+ hp.
Also... The new Sonata has a 275hp Direct Injected turbo motor, that may or not be making it's way into the coupe... Who wants to buy a 210hp performance coupe with a small turbo, when you could get a 275hp, larger turbo, map controlled motor in sedan for the same money? Seen the monster sidemounted intercooler in the Sonata? haha Only thing the coupe has the Sonata doesn't is a manual trans and RWD... but either way by 2012 the Gen Coupe game should be stepped up.
Just some "rumors" I hear around the shop.
