- - 370z Rivals? (http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-general-discussions/99665-370z-rivals.html)

I briefly looked at the gen coupe when shopping for the 370z. The styling doesn't do it for me (it's gotten uglier since) and the interior just felt very cheap and just kind of crappy. If that's all I could afford, it's probably a decent car, but there's no way I would get that if I could afford a z.

That gives transit and car pooling a whole new meaning!

Careful when you say that here. Good way to get banned. Just giving you a heads up, since you are new.

Good looking out thanks. Raced up to freeway speeds is more appropriate ;)

Or on a closed course, under supervised conditions.

Lies. Damnable lies :shakes head:

Nissan 370Z vs Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 - FastestLaps.com

Still, the Gen did better than I would have thought.

Not all Mustangs and Camaros are V8, rather their basic trims run with V6 - even don't need premium gas fueled !!

370Z is kind of a very unique and hard to comparable to for its wonderful (and also xxxxing sometimes) two seats with the outstanding design and also the N/A V6 !!

That's why Zs are so rare on the street, and also why I love my Z.

No way .. 370Z's zero to sixty should outperform the GenCoupes'.

I'm from Korea though.

Especially with the sports packages.

All of this is true except none of it. LOL. It is quicker on a roll though. But what you do get is a quite the bang for the buck in tech and luxury with a nice mix of power.

uhh thats the old one. The new '13+ are with 4/10 second of the Z.

For me the ONLY car I still lust for over the 370 (New or older and within my reach) is US spec Exige and do a built and boosted K20 swap. If the new Euro only version Exige S was available here I would part out the Z and sell a kidney if I had to! Ha
