Drag Race - Genesis Coupe, 370Z, Mustang GT

LZKS Says:

Nov 19, 2009 - Lol, to be honest, I'm a fan of OEM as well. That's why I like already "perfect" cars like porsche cayman. 370z has faults like very little utility, harsh ride quality, and to get good equipments you need 40k. And yes, gencoup will NEVER be a good classic car. But just wanted to say that gencoup does attract its own crowd, because people like to bash on new cars like these.

Nov 19, 2009 - Well, little utility, rough ride and high price tag sound like all the key ingredients for a true sports car, IMO. LOL I was hoping you'd pick the Alfa 8C competizione or the Maserati Quatroporte as already "perfect" cars. Now the Cayman is so far from perfect it needs more plastic surgeries than Cher. I haven't heard 1 automotive reviewer praising the Cayman for its looks. In fact, they all criticized it for the looks. But yes, I understand, the Cayman is perfect in the performance aspect.

superamerica1981 Says:

Nov 19, 2009 - Nevermind, the Cayman is indeed close to perfect in the looks department also. I was thinking of the Porsche Panamera. That one is ugly. I'm an off-road driver, so I'm unqualified to be commenting on sports cars, except for judging what looks good and what not. So I'll stop commenting :D

Nov 19, 2009 - the nissan only has 4 ft/lbs more than the genesis, so it ain much. Its just alot lighter. And the mustang has a V8 so it better be making more torque or theres a serious problem.

Nov 19, 2009 - dudes hyundai cannot compare with nissan .. p e r i o d .... genesis???? ha ha ha what a disgrace. might as well get a scion t c and mod that .. hello!!!!

Nov 20, 2009 - the problem is that Nissan had put twin turbos on that V6 period. If ford started using more turbos on their v8 engines then the race would of ended differently.

EJ2LT Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - thats funny dude. the 370Z is N/A, the twin turbo one is the GT-R that makes 160 more HP than the mustang. the Z wins because ford sucks and nissan doesn't. mustang weighs 150 lbs more too, and has only 5 speeds. the Z is offered with a 7 speed.

EJ2LT Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - AND: the genesis coupe is a first gen car while the Z is has a legacy of 40 years (first 240ZG was '71?). if the genesis beats the nissan then look outside for flying pork, otherwise it only makes sense i say wait for the second gen genesis. Hyundai has em both beat in price by a field btw, 3.5k over the Z, and 5k over the mustang, and can only step up their game more like they have been for the last 5 years

Nov 20, 2009 - rayshizel Well it might be true that Hyundai is not superior to Nissan yet...Hyundai is similar to Nissan in quality...but come one getting a Scion tc on top of the Genesis coupe...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....

youngb1ood Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - in my opinion i think the genesis wins in looks. but as for performance goes....370z wins. mustang is hella horrible overall.

Nov 21, 2009 - Hyundai Genesis Coupe rocks!!!!

Nov 21, 2009 - go test drive gen

TheKoreanX Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - For Hyundai's very first rear wheel drive sports coupe, I think they did a phenomenal job. The Nissan Z cars go back to the 1970s and the Mustang goes back to the 1960's while the Genesis Coupe is still in its first generation. If they can do this well the first time around, think of what they can do in the years to come.

kot5355966 Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - genesis is much faster then that .;;;;;;;

Texarmageddon Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - Not to rain on your parade or anybody elses, but here in texas the two common cars for people are the 370z base or the 370z touring. Finding the 370z with the sports package is a rarity. Also, if you need proof of this go to carmax and see. The sports package come with a special set of rims that cannot be changed out. Last, the Viscious LSD comes with the sports package and with that being in mind most people are NOT buying any of the sports Packages. Hence, no 4 sec time and close to the GC

voltwings Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - a 7 speed is that big of a deal because the difference those extra 2 gears add is next to miniscule, except for people like you to say you have 7 gears

Nov 23, 2009 - race would be alot closer now that they dont have that stupid shift shock

Warex06 Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - 2009 wrx (just the wrx, not even the sti) gets 0-60 in 4.7 seconds which is better then the mustang and as good as 370z. The catch is that the wrx is alot cheaper and has the AWD advantage... I think the wrx should have been amongst the cars that are competition for the genisis

kjk3159 Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - Idiots using this video to put down Genesis. Look at the difference between the speed. 5.5 sec was slowest and 4.7 was fastest. The difference? 0.8 seconds. Are you so stupid that you'd use the 0.8 difference on your choice of cars? I'd be damned if I was going to pay thousands of dollars more for a Z370 or a Mustang GT so I can go 0.8 seconds faster on a quarter mile race. Morons...

Texarmageddon Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - The sti gets a 4.7. What the hell makes you think the base wrx gets that.

Blaze0820 Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - america took a different approtch. youll see give the mustang a few years.. afterall its the new 2010 mustang ya know.

leaf16nut Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - A possible 5.0 litre going back into the mustangs... That would b sick for sure... As said by many only .8 seconds difference acrosss the board, not to bad all cars held up decently... Now im not ticking up for anybody but the 370Z dosnt have back seats... cutting down on weight against a mustang, but whatever, .3 seconds can be how good a driver is as well... I am a mustang fan, but i would go for north american muscle before these gay ass imports...

vash241987 Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - well if that did happen then what are we comparing? AWD is better than RWD? which is 'duh' obvious. AWD will always have the upper hand when it comes to better launches and wet tracks. So pitting a AWD vs. RWD stock for stock for 0-60 is kinda pointless. Not bashing your post, just saying it would be pointless.

vash241987 Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - check autotrader, I have found some sport pkg, but yeah, most dealers either have a nismo, a touring, or a base.
