The mid-engine 500HP Hyundai Genesis Coupe has landed

Lug

I took the first full review of the Genesis TRACk model I found, given by a group that has also tested the 370Z multiple times. You simply can't go in with more weight, less horsepower and poorer handling and win. The best test ever of the coupe falls far short of the worst test of the 370Z on every count except back seat room. Not even if lala-fairly land will our car win, sorry.

Try finding the worse stats you could with a 370z. Not a luxury G37.

Actually the other tests have been:
# Motor trend review 0-60 : 5.5 sec
# Car and Driver review 0-60 : 5.7 sec
# Popular Mechanics review 0-60 : 5.8 sec
# Edmunds.com review 0-60 : (1st record) 6.4 sec: (retest record) 5.9 sec

So by average you are looking at 5.725

Well to be "fair," you should be comparing your track gen coupe to the track Z then (which is called Nismo), but even still. The gen coupe in all magazine/online/etc. have shown the gen coupe falls short in all categories other than one, price.

The reviewers either are all wrong or out to get Hyundai, while they praise the car for being a great first go, the reviews always end with: "You get what you pay for."
If you want it all then you pay for it in a Z or even a Porsche (for the next level), but if you are on a budget then the gen coupe can fill the void while not killing your wallet. But do realize you are not going to best the car above you (i.e. the Z).

*Comparisons are all stock to stock*

ok lets compare it to the Nismo. what is the real price of the nismo at now? with that price difference of almost 20k i could do quite a but to the gen coupe to make it faster.

Would you consider the NISMO Stock?

How much more is the G37?

Here is a proper comparison. Not slant.

now that is a defensive posture if i ever saw one.

theDreamer

Really? Edumnds is ranked as one of the lowest review sites for sports car ever, there focus has always been..."Well it feels a bit rough so I am going to take points off."
When they show little to no tests on performance, braking, etc.
