you took the worse stats you could find and posted them. take a look at other stats people here have posted.
0-60 in 6.4 seconds is what one review said.. all the others said, 0-60 in 5-5 seconds.

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.

you as a driver should know that stats on paper mean nothing. real world comparison. i cant find any proper comparisons on video. the only thing i can find is the comparison to the G37 Sport which is a very similar car to the Z.

no, what matters is real world comparisons.

would love to see both cars lap times around the nurburgring. the Z would edge it out because it is a very fast track but I think you guys would be surprised. the Z would beat the gen coupe 3.8 track by no more then 10 seconds..

Winning is winning. No matter by .1 seconds or 10 seconds.

And besides, 10 seconds on track is large number.

What is 10 seconds, .5 miles or 1 mile (on the ring)?

10 seconds on an 11 mile track for a car that cost almost 10k more, has 20 more HP, is 250lbs lighter and is competing against a lowly Hyundai is a little sad if you ask me. sounds to me like the little Hyundai is much closer then it should be for its price point.

I also think that Genesis and the Genesis Coupe are similar cars.

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

Compared to a stock 370z which runs just below 5 or at 5, you are talking almost a whole second.

Z - .99G
Gen coupe - .92G
Z - 104ft (60-0)
Gen coupe - 114ft (60-0)
Z - 12 (0-100)
Gen coupe - 14.2 (0-100)

Not looking good.

Those figures means nothing to OP. Unless it's the other way around.
