Decided on a Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track over the 370.. here is why.

The Hyundai folks are actively courting the tuner crowd and factory support and dealer support for mods [wink, wink] should be better than the Nissan. Might not be true if the motors start popping when the wick is turned up, but this engine is well-known in its other guises, and should be fairly reliable.

Anyway, the point is you can make it faster than a stock Z without spending huge amounts, so if straight-line performance is your bag, it might be a pretty good buy.

For my own sake, I appreciate the racing heritage and strong sports car roots of the Z, and frankly I just think it looks much better. But that is my choice, and in no way says that your choice was bad.

Enjoy your new ride!
