By that logic the Nismo should hit 0-60 in the mid 4's, which it doesn't to my knowledge. I do agree it will be a close race though.

Agreed. The logic falicy however is how the NISM0 added 5 to 6% more power and supposedly better tires yet gained no discernable speed increase at all, regardless of how any other car stacks up.

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.

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

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.

That site is not accurate at all

no way the Z is hitting mid 4s from a stand still
