They just based it on power to weight ratio. That list is pretty useless, but I'm surprised the Corvette wasn't on there.

Not worth much considering they showed the Specs of a genesis sedan Rspec being faster than our cars. Then the photo showed the gencoupe. You can't get a gencoupe in V8 so its highly misleading.

I didn't know the new Genesis was coming with 429 HP. I think they used the HP from the V8 sedan and the curb weight of the coupe

I didn't read these comments and went straight to the article. Wow, what a misleading pictorial with fake stats. Imagine all the clueless people that will believe this to be true because it's from the Forbes website.

I was like hmmmmmm when I saw that the Genesis had 429hp in that article. I figured the Boss 302 & GT500 would led the pack.
