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

chief_Roka · 11-03-2009, 04:52 PM

I tested the genesis auto/paddles. I loved everything about the cars quality vs price. Except for one thing.
The transmission. The power delivery is so linear n refined that the engine starts to feel like it belongs in a chevy caprice or impala. Not very sporty feeling. But the engine sounds way better than the Z. Most definately. Its sounds almost like a V8. And handling is on par with the G37. So its still a great buy.
When the genesis coupe upgrades its tranny with a sport mode or sporty transmission tuning. I will consider it as my second sports car along with the z on order..

How can the G37 out handle the Z, the Z is shorter and lighter?
Also, no the gen coupe does not sound like a V8, what car did you test drive? I test drove a Z then a gen coupe in the same day and I could barely hear the gen coupe until I got above 4,000RPMs.

i am not sure he said it was better then the Z. he just said that it is on par with the G37. read again slowly.

I hope you enjoy your time away from the boards, i.e. enjoy the ban.
