on paper, yes its close, but in real life, the genesis feels a lot slower to my Z and when i test drove one, my Z was stock and a lot of that has to do with gearing for the genesis coupe as well as weight

the genesis coupe isnt a bad car though, i have considered getting a 2012 2.0T track edition used as a DD since they are super cheap(12k)

Numbers are all over the place for both, but yea, butt says Z is noticeably faster. I mean #'s are close on paper for straight line, relatively anyway, the Z IS faster on paper and in real world, BUT driving dynamics, the Z FEELS MUCH faster. Handling, its in a different league That being said, I might be buying one for fun, for a cushy, powerful DD. Along side the Volvo S60 and Accord. I have issues.
