The mid-engine 500HP Hyundai Genesis Coupe has landed

You know full well you're going to get flak in return, be it from intelligent people citing tests and drives and numbers and factual information. And then you have others who just love their Z as much as you enjoy your Genesis Coupe. They just spout flame cause you disagree with them. But by your action of repeatedly trying to bring up the same issue after the thread has already been locked. It kind of highlights you as just trying to keep poking this issue thats already been addressed. So playing possum saying your just defending yourself over and over is kind of silly.

but i am pretty sure this is the "other vehicles" forum so i am pretty sure its ok to post about other cars then the Z. i did not post this in the Z main forum.

And then you saw where that went, so now knowing that and you reopen a new thread (correct section being irrelevant) with the same catchphrase... I mean you can't seriously expect that those same people tossing flame before won't be looking for this again. So your instigating the attention you claim your only defending against... Doesn't quite make sense.

you are wrong my friend. i never said, "the coupe owns the Z". in this thread i said this particular 500HP heavily modded coupe would own the Z. then again if you modded the Z that much it would be even again. so apples to oranges. it was a dumb comment i made in this thread, thus the reason i deleted it.

stock VS stock the Z is the faster car. (20 more HP) and a bit lighter.

what i did say is that the Gen Coupe has better breaks (brembos VS Nissan breaks) and a stiffer more track tuned suspension. that could come into play on a heavy breaking track.

Ok, so your saying that only in the extremely specific scenario of the special edition Genesis vs a stock Z on a track that is built for heavy braking the Genesis would win?

Just a note: Nissan brakes are by Akebono. Also used by the McLaren F1 team.

Gen Coupe has better brakes better or not? Not judging.

Side note: it's brake not breaks.

no, not "special edition genesis". my genesis, the 3.8 Track Model. the top of the line stock model.

the 3.8 track model has better breaks and better track suspension. so yes, if the track was more geared for that type of car it would have a good chance of beating the 370.

be honest. dont you wish the 370 came with brembos over "nissan" breaks. lol

most of the racing world uses brembo for a reason.

i never was a good speller.

What brand was he using, do you know? And specifically was was the failure?
