Remember, the Nismo is not putting down the times "it should" due to the stiffer suspension. It's a known fact that the stiffer suspension of the Nismo hinders it's 0-60 and 1/4 mile times which is why dispite having a power increase over the standard 370z it doesn't put down any better times. The dyno clearly shows that the Nismo puts down more power, it just can't get that power down to the ground.

As others have mentioned, the Genesis will be about the dynamics of the car. It may have the power but if gearing isn't good, suspension, etc then it won't pull that much better numbers. You can drastically change a cars 0-60 and 1/4 mile times just changing the gearing and suspension while leaving the power alone. The Z in theory could be faster than it is but it's set up to handle more so than to drag race. It will depend on how the genesis has been set up.

The v6 stangs run in the high 13's low 14's in the quarter...about the same as the current gen Genesis coupe. It got a lot quicker after the last update, but its still not as quick as the Z in stock form. The Z edged over the V8 when it was making 315hp/325lb ft.

the 2011+ v6 are running about the same as the 370z on the average, there is however exceptions to both side. Its really a drivers race.

We thought that was just alcohol-fueled bigotry. Had no idea you were talking about cars. It didn't help that you were holding a shotgun and wearing a straw hat and overalls at the time. :icon17:

345 hp and 295 lb-ft! Wow! these numbers are numbers the Z34 should have had from the get go. Your move Nissan. Enough toying with the GTR. Show the Z some love Please!

Seems to me the automatic Z and NISMO z both are capable of hitting the mid 4's.

Nissan 0-60 Times & Nissan Quarter Mile Times | Nissan Skyline GTR 0-60, Maxima 0-60, Altima SE-R, Murano, 350z, 2012 370z and 2011 Titan 0 to 60 stats!

Those are probably with 1 foot of roll :( I wish those were true zero-60.

On topic, I actually saw a 2013 Gen Coupe at a Hyundai dealer. Interior was nice, but the body is even downright fugly in person. It's kind of like that drunk chick you only want to see from behind.
