2) Mustang offers much more flexibility with it's backseat, quieter ride, and a vicious sounding V8 and torque the other two lack.

IMO, the Z has always had a unique driving characteristic. Between the Z and Mustang, it comes down to the driver. The same can be said about the S2000 and Z years ago. I think it'll be fun to see the Mustang and Genesis take part in Best Motoring races.
I'd say the Genesis coupe is almost an identical match for the old G35 if it holds up as well. That's an impressive accomplishment in my book.
