Z vs Gen.

I tested the gencoupe. And there are a few things I like about it over the G37. The gencoupe definately feels more tossable than the G, though the G is more precise. I'm comfy in G seats but I'm 6ft and 170lean pounds. If ur a wide dude, those seats just don't cut it. The gencoupe seat design is leagues better than most sport coupes out there. I gotta give hyundai that much. If they switched to some kind of dual clutch tranny? I think the winner of the affordable sports cars would be the gencoupe. I'm just being honest.
But, where I find flaws is in overall interior quality (though not bad, I'm used to infinit quality), the plain grille and the 6at is not geared well for a sports car. I actually needed a auto so I had to go with the most aggressive auto out there.
I tested a lot of automatic sports cars... corvette and camaro are pretty good though not the best trannies. 2011 bmw 135I 7dct is sick with it. I think it rivals the Z in fun factor. Only thing is that electronic lsd sucks. Bmw has an aftermarket covered physical LSD, but, you looking at $5,000 installed. BMW quality aftermarket parts are thru the roof and this is my main reason for not liking bimmer. I can get cheaper quality parts for a porsche. That doesn't make sense to me.

I haven't driven it yet but I would luv to test drive a porsche cayman pdk. I have driven the tiptronic. The Z's tranny feels more aggressive than the tip but I bet the pdk takes it to new levels. That will be my next test.
