Mustang vs. 370Z vs. Genesis Coupe

Good read. The price difference between the Z and the Mustang make the Mustang seem like a pretty good value.

Haha... since when was the 2011 V6 faster than the previous GTs? They weigh the same and the 2010 GT has a bit more hp and more torque over a flatter curve. It should be faster.

But yeah, they can't be happy considering how the GT vs. V6 environment was. GT owners used to rag on the V6 models like mad because they were always at least 2 seconds faster from the factory. Now they've got a V6 that can dip into the 13s stock... pretty wild considering my 2002 V6 automatic could only do 16s stock!!!

Based on price, the 2011 Mustang GT Premium should have been the one compared, not the V6 Mustang.

Heck, if the comparo was just for V6 engines, why not bring Porsche into the comparo as well?

Because magazine/online reviewers are idiots who have no clue of what they are comparing. Oh look we have three cars with V6 engines, lets do a review of them and see the results.

Doesn't Porsche use a flat 6?

Yes, they are idiots.

That or a lot of people have been asking about just how good the V6 Mustang is. Combine that with many cross shopping the three cars and you have grounds for a comparison.

I mean, everyone does realize that while it missed its mark the Genesis coupe was designed to compete with the Z, right?

Yep, I crossed showed the Gen coupe and while the Z beat it in every way, it is a great start for Hyundai and will definitely rival the Z in less than 5 years (if Hyundai continues working on it).

Completely agree. It was a valiant first effort from a company who is evolving its lineup nicely and offers a baller warranty. For the price, you could do worse.

For the price I'd just get a WRX, but that's a different can of worms!

I agree, the new WRX is one hell of a value and performance wise, it isnt far off from an STI, and power potential is awesome, especially with an AP.

Whoa, whoa, whoa there, buddy. 4 cylinders is not in line for this comparison. That's 2 cylinders too little.

Let's not forget that its front wheels do some funky dance, too.

In all seriousness, I test drove a WRX, and it certainly should be compared to the Z, Genny, Camaro, Mustang, etc.
