Hyundai Genesis 3.8 is CONFIRMED faster than 370z

[TongMan]

..by .1 second through the 1/4 mile with identical 0-60mph times.

Our 3.8 Genesis Coupe is also quicker than the V6 Mustang, which does zero to 60 in 5.6 seconds on its way to a 13.9-second quarter-mile at 101.2 mph, as well as the G37 coupe (5.7 seconds zero to 60, 13.9-second quarter-mile at 101.4 mph) and the IPL G coupe (5.8 seconds zero to 60, 14.0-second quarter-mile at 102.1 mph). And it's right in line with our long-term 370Z (5.3 seconds zero to 60, 13.6-second quarter-mile at 103.2 mph) and the Genesis 5.0 R-Spec sedan (5.3 seconds to 60, 13.5 at 105.2 mph).

Actually, it's not. With an equally skilled driver in the same conditions the 370 should be a bit quicker than the Genesis.

Even inside line called in "in-line" rather than "faster."

IBTL.

This is funny to me because those numbers aren't faster than what we're obtaining in the Z... Real world numbers are going to butt hurt Hyundai.

It's all a range. You're going to have instances where the Z is quicker or slower, but assuming all things are equal, the Z should be quicker.

Bear in mind mag numbers are usually corrected to a standard, rather than the "best case" numbers you see on forums

IL numbers for the 370Z were lower across the board than anybody else that tested it ...

Edit I just did some research...most testing resulted in 0-60 of 4.6 seconds and 1/4 of 13.0 seconds for the Z

If you plug the hp and curb weight numbers into an online 0-60 calculator like 0-60 mph Calculator for Cars , they come up within .05 sec of each other. It's a tie.

I wouldn't use calculator for times since it doesn't take into acount aerodynamics/tire width, weight distribution, etc
