Not exactly what I would first think of but it's something. Could be the new era of a car guy friendly arm of the company. Theyre paying attention to the enthusiasts and that's not a bad thing these days.

$9k for the V6? That's not much cheaper than an LS3 is it?
So this means Hyundai is the new LS?
Bobzilla to the courtesy phone, please.
Props for being the first person on the internet to probably ever have posted a thread with this title 
This includes a standalone DI ECU, right?
9k? 
Hyundai/Kia...........the new Honda?
Jegs has a LS3 with 515hp and 496 ft-lbs for $8k.
Nice. As long as they drop the prices and make them "drop in ready" they'll do alright.
Hmmm.... I'm thinking a 3.8GDI in a C4. Damnit.
To bad the V8 isn't on the list. A guy at work tore the oil pan off his Gen. Coupe and is looking to unload it.
Mmmmmm Tau V8 Gen Coupe......
Then again, I'd rock an LSx Gen Coupe.

Doesn't sound like it:
TTAC said: Both engines come with intake manifolds, ignition coil packs, injectors and fuel rails. The turbo ready four was developed for those tuners planning to use larger turbochargers than the stock unit.
Good luck controling that direct injecton!
I know nothing about stand alone engine management, but commonly read DI is the big problem on new engines.
What is it about DI that makes it so hard to control?
In reply to z31maniac:
Alfa or Adrian will surely fill you in on this one if you ask......its been discussed here alot recently.

There's lift pumps, pressure pumps and the precise control over injector timing since it needs to be shot into the cylinder at the exact time, with the exact mixture/etc. It has to be a lot more precise than shoving fuel into an intake runner and letting the cylinder suck it in.

And, IIRC, they require ridiculously high fuel pump pressures at a high flow rate.
