For some reason, the best tuners are often the ones that were purchased with little to no planning in mind.
Case in point, Jacob Reining’s Hyundai Genesis 2.0T Track Edition is part of a long lineage of cars. His dad used to tell him stories about his collection of brute American muscle cars, including a 1964 ½ Ford Mustang and ’70 Chevelle SS, which spurred Reining’s interest as a young kid.
The Gencoupe you see gracing these pages started from modest beginnings, as Reining originally planned little more than a wheel and suspension upgrade, and maybe a few stereo components. After some good fortune, he went ahead and started building the ultimate RWD Turbo.
