Hyundai Genesis 3.8 is CONFIRMED faster than 370z
 
..by .1 second through the 1/4 mile with identical 0-60mph times.

Quote:

Our 3.8 Genesis Coupe is also quicker than the V6 Mustang, which does zero to 60 in 5.6 seconds on its way to a 13.9-second quarter-mile at 101.2 mph, as well as the G37 coupe (5.7 seconds zero to 60, 13.9-second quarter-mile at 101.4 mph) and the IPL G coupe (5.8 seconds zero to 60, 14.0-second quarter-mile at 102.1 mph). And it's right in line with our long-term 370Z (5.3 seconds zero to 60, 13.6-second quarter-mile at 103.2 mph) and the Genesis 5.0 R-Spec sedan (5.3 seconds to 60, 13.5 at 105.2 mph).

Actually, it's not. With an equally skilled driver in the same conditions the 370 should be a bit quicker than the Genesis.

Even inside line called in "in-line" rather than "faster."

IBTL.

This is funny to me because those numbers aren't faster than what we're obtaining in the Z... Real world numbers are going to butt hurt Hyundai.

It's all a range. You're going to have instances where the Z is quicker or slower, but assuming all things are equal, the Z should be quicker.

Bear in mind mag numbers are usually corrected to a standard, rather than the "best case" numbers you see on forums

ZMan8 02-27-2012 09:20 AM

IL numbers for the 370Z were lower across the board than anybody else that tested it ...

Edit I just did some research...most testing resulted in 0-60 of 4.6 seconds and 1/4 of 13.0 seconds for the Z

If you plug the hp and curb weight numbers into an online 0-60 calculator like 0-60 mph Calculator for Cars , they come up within .05 sec of each other. It's a tie.

I wouldn't use calculator for times since it doesn't take into acount aerodynamics/tire width, weight distribution, etc

also geographic location affects times as well!

If the Hyundai Genesis Coupe is faster, it's still not any reason to /wrist /life

Faster cars are gonna come out, pplz. Faster cars have come out.

Such is life, enjoy your ride :D

areodynamics won't matter much in a 0-60 (bigger effect ton 1/4 mile and beyond). The calculator is a theorectical "what the car can do in perfect conditions" rather than end-all. I assume the companies will use the best tires/gearing that are reasonably priced or they would be cutting their nose off to spte their face. This particular calculator always comes in a bit fast compared to real world times but relativily, it's always close to real world. There are more detailed ones that consider elevation, torque, etc but you have to get a lot of extra data and the results don't vary much at all. It much much harder to evaluate track speeds where tires/weight distribution, etc. have an even bigger effect.

:icon18: I bet it beats Mustangs 0-60, since apparently 370z's do, and these beat 370z's.

lol, my bad. Helps if you spell it right

Kingbaby 02-27-2012 09:46 AM

2013 gen = Curb Weight:3,433 LBS
2013 370z = Curb Weight:3,232 LBS


correct me if I'm wrong

Sibze 02-27-2012 09:47 AM

You also know why it was faster? They had some skinny little person drive the Hyundai, no joke the dude was like 110... NOW, in the 370z the dude must have been like 350 and his foot was so big he kept touching the brake

Kingbaby 02-27-2012 09:48 AM

lol

Rone 02-27-2012 09:53 AM

The Gen coupe is like my last girlfriend... it looks better from the back.
