My point was that some people aren't going to be buying a collection of statistics. They're going to be buying a sports car that's close enough in performance to be competitive with the rest of the class.
And for those who absolutely have to have that extra half-second of 0-60 time on the way to work or to the mall, as I said before...the $5,000 you save on the purchase price will be enough to mod it to where you're making that up and then some.

well, not that you knew, but i take my/dad's car to road courses to race so every second/ half second counts i guess.
the thing is i highly doubt that the genesis comes even close to matching the interior quality of the infinity. so why is it being compared to it? the genesis is a sports coupe that is around 30k (if you want the highest performance). that means its competition is the camaro ss, 370z, and mustang gt. out of its competitors the genesis is the slowest, and would require alot more than $5000 to achieve similar performance.
but your right, the average driver wont care about that second or half second when it comes to daily driving.
