the tilt steering is a mechanical last time i checked. VDC off will let you vandalise the asphalt.

what i was referring to is how every car now is so over-modernized it makes for a boring drive.

or maybe you're but hurt from not being able to afford a luxury sedan? or regret not getting a the 5.0 pony?

I took a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 for a test drive yesterday. Engine was very weak (heard a few engine knocks, so may have been wrong/bad gas) and you have to turn the steering wheel a lot in order to turn. Suspension was a lot softer/looser than the 2009 370Z Touring I had. I was not impressed.

So are you saying the GTR is bad bc if it is I don't want to be good.

If you limit the rivals to have the same configuration as the Z (2-seater RWD), then,

Z4 3.5
SLK 350
Porsche Boxster/Cayman S
Corvettes?
Lotus Elise?

S2000
Mazdaspeed Miata

Is the WRX the only on par machine we should have to outdo? I would base this on 1/4 mile times, and track times.

I am sure there are others but that is a good list, also sticking with price here. I am sure we can go up against the bottom Porsche or some other Euro cars.

Genesis coupe doesn't compare to the Z at all, it's a Korean wannabe. It's no where near as well made, and handles like a truck.

One of my friends works at a hyundai dealer. Swears that the Genesis is faster 0-60, faster top speed, handles better on a skidpad and any road course, brakes better, is cheaper, and is more reliable and made with better materials.

cooltoy · 01-08-2015, 07:47 PM

He is a salesman, right?

Of course he does. LOL I test drove a 2013 Genesis coupe(six cylinder) and it was nice for a Hyundai, that's about it. I proved to some guy that his V6 Gen coupe wasn't as fast as the wifes Z or my G37 coupe in the same week. I really like the Genesis (almost bought one), but basically it's a cheap knock-off of a G37. I'm sure there are plenty of people who feel differently, but I'll take the Japanese original over a Korean imitation any day. BTW my wifes Z will SMOKE my G37.

Agreed. My buddy has one and they are world's apart. Raced him onto the freeway (up to freeway speeds) and it wasn't even close. Salesman trying to make a sale
