Looks like they are checking out all the work done to the RMR coupe & making sure everything is working as it should (steering, shifting, etc) RMR Hyundai Genesis- Video
Not real adrenalyn pumping, but nice to see all that work in motion though, plus allows us to see all angles of the finished product.

Hard to believe I was less than an inch away from that car last week. I got some good video of it too that I'll be putting up once I get my new hard drive.

Nice find Tufast!

I wish they would have showed the car going all out, not just poking around like a granny driving the car.

I don't know if I'd go all out in a freshly built car that hasn't been tested yet, esp considering the power/weight.

To be honest the engine was mostly stock, at least by the time SEMA came around. They didnt have time to put on any of the go fast parts yet and do the testing. They wanted to be able to drive the car unlike some of the other cars that just get trailored and pushed to the show. So at least it runs and drives on its own power.

Yeah thing was they were afraid that if they start pulling parts apart and start putting aftermarket parts back on that if things didn't fit just right or didn't work out they wouldn't have the parts to get the engine running. As it was they had a running engine and would rather of been able to drive it and as most of you have seen they were able to get some decent videos of the car driving around.
