 Hmmm let me get this strait. Hyundai wants us to pay $30K for that when we can get a base 370Z for $29,000 (0-60 4.7)? I'd take a fully loaded V6 camaro over the V6 Genisis coupe. 6.4 is disgraceful. I was expecting ~5.7

so wait a minute... the Genesis Coupe is $30k... a 1SS is about $31k... so for $1k more, you'd get a V8, ALOT faster track times and the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing you bought American
a well driven Camaro LT is going to smoke that little Genesis... they really should have found a way to stuff the V8 in there.

The Genesis coupe is loaded for $30K. You can load up a 2LT Camaro for 30K. They are perfectly comparable on price. The Genesis coupe starts around the same price as the Camaro and far less than a 370Z. You guys really need to stop taking any piece of information out of context just to dismiss a car for not being the Camaro.
Anyway, on to the review - flat torque curve = win, torque reduction on hard upshifts = fail.

Id buy a base 370z and have a faster, better handling, better looking, better built, and better driving car.
The End.

Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

0-60 in 6.5 sec 1/4mi in 14.9@94.6mph with an as tested weight of 3990lbs (which means test gear and driver). I highly doubt the Camaro will be whipping up on the Genesis. But at least it will be cheaper. Now if only we could get the Camaro down to 3400 lbs like the Genesis, we'd be good to go. |
