370Z vs facelifted Genesis Coupe 2012 3.8

Maila87

So, for next model year will be Z less powerfull in comparison. Still faster and better. But 350 BHP will be standard for 3.8 engine in Genesis Coupe. And yes, no high revving engine like that one in our beloved cars.

The facelift on the Gen Coupe is like Micheal Jackson's plastic surgery... It looks horrible.

jeez, tires and an engine? blatant ripoff of the model t

I'm not a fan of the new fascia. Anyone know how they got the HP bump?

The new 3.8 comes with direct injection, as it does in the current Genesis Sedan. The new 2.0T isn't the Sonata GDI motor, but just an uprated RS Turbo with better intercooler and I believe larger turbo/boost.

Not so good suspension and body rigidity is missing. But in comparison to power. Nissan, we are high revving, where is more power? VVEL looks like limit

Ughhhh??? Body rigidity missing??? I've tossed a gencoupe hard and body rigidity is everywhere. I will agree the suspension leaves a little to be desired. But that's because its the only ready for drift suspension right off the dealership. If you don't drift? You can't appreciate the gen setup. Being that its the only drift ready import right now for the money, I respect the gencoupe.
The biggest problems with the gencoupe is a overly sh1tty manual, a ecu controlled,paddleshifted auto with too many safeguards, iron suspension components creating too much weight surrounding the tires. Sport pkg tires aren't wide enough for real performance driving and too many creeks and rattles inside of months of ownership. Warranty fixes are constant.

As far as the facelift. It looks hella forced. Its horrible. The interior facelift. It looks like an M3 and a G37 had sex and made the worlds most unoriginal non fluid interior possible. Gen is going backward design.

As impressive as 350hp sounds the gen seems to have a hard time putting down performance numbers that match the power they claim. Time will tell if the gencoupe succeeds at pushing out proper numbers for the power claims.

why do our engines rev so high? I drive hard and at times I'm nearly redlining

It doesn't rev that high. Coming from Honda (S2K/Si), our 7500rpm limit is laughable compared to 8800rpm (or higher if you get Hondata tune).


In other words, VTAK y0!
