I had my "highway altercations" like some and had my share of glorious moments (I promise as safely as I could). Honestly, when you get left standing by a lightly tuned Evo X, STi, 5.0 Stang, 135i or dare I say a Genesis (I highly doubt it though) the last thing you are thinking is hey I got a good value.
Genesis's are beating 370's now? Interesting, didn't realize I bought such a crappy car.
I think you should look into Ferrari, mclaren, Lamborghini etc because it sounds like you'll never be able to appreciate what you have if someone beats you off a light.

But if you bought a Ferrari a tuned Supra could beat you.

bugatti veyron should eventually win every straight line race. Might be an option.

In a straight line? The new Genesis... yes. Around a track? Probably not.

You need to get out more. My Z was potent with every bolt on and tune. My friends Genesis had a CAI and CBE and guess what? I wasn't blowing his doors off by any means.

Don't downplay a less expensive car made in Korea. It's actually a better bang for the buck than the Z. Interior isn't half bad either.

You didn't buy a crappy car. You just didn't buy the fastest. But that's ok because there's always going to be someone faster anyway. Whatever. Enjoy a car for all that it has to offer and ignore the trolls, haters and otherwise ignorant people.
