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.
