If you want to hit the canyons and stuff sure a z is great with just springs sways and tires but for a street car with power many many better options.

There are a lot of us who don't share your opinion. "Guarantee" is a strong word to use. I do agree for the need for a thorough flogging of the car on the test drive.

A Z will definitely be the looker in that group, moreso than the Genesis.

Not to poke the big elephant in the room too hard, but I would definitely think twice and three times about getting a new car just because you want to fit in with the work crowd. Standing out might be nice: Mr. youthful with his go-fast car and less debt....etc. Who knows, just throwing some non-performance thoughts out there!

with one thing. No one can be as much as a dumb azzz as you... In that fact

But as for everything else he wrote... You might want to read his thread history before holding this opinion with any validity.

i've got him on iggy anyways, but yeah i have to agree....as for the OP i definitely suggest a test drive is in order, i remember the first time i test drove a 370 before purchasing and instantly fell in love with the way the car felt and handled. I didnt care that it didnt have the most horsepower or was the fastest at anything, it just felt right the first time i sat in one and i have never looked back since, but to be fair i also did what the OP is doing and did my homework before purchasing unlike "SOME" people who bought purely for looks which is the stupidest way to buy a car in my opinion if you're going to live with the car on a daily basis for any period of time.
