FYI, the fastest time for the Genesis Coupe was a 5.5 (Motor trend) WITHOUT the ECU reflash correction exihibited by the early production models. Edmunds.com did a retest of their Genesis coupe with the reflash and reduced their 0-60 time by 0.5 secs from 6.4 to 5.9. Based off this number, you could theoretically take off 0.5 seconds off the 5.5 times to make it 5.0 sec flat. Not to shabby IF this holds true.
No offense, but that's some pretty wonky maths. 306 HP + 263 Lbft of torque and a > 3400 lb curb weight doesn't get you to 5 seconds. This car is very close in specs to an older G35, which ain't to shabby but it's simply not getting near 5 secs.
