it did 14.2 @ 99.5 mph.

mustang
0-60, 5 seconds flat
13.5 @ 104.0 mph

370z

13.3 @ 107.1 mph

damn, the rx8 is outdated.

So they should. I hate that site and have no idea why anyone ever uses it. They just embed youtube videos surrounded by shitty advertisements. Post the youtube video or not watching.

The Z is turning to be a little beast! 4.7 ticks 0-60 is amazing!
A kersh4w , that Genesis got more than walked,it got ran away from with no possibility of ever catching up!LOL!

BlueEyes 05-04-2009 12:54 PM

Damn, Z is quick. The Genesis seems slow for some reason. I guess it's heavier than I thought.

Atilla 05-04-2009 12:56 PM

wow...didn't think the Z would edge out the mustang....

*Offers sacrifice to rotary gods for new rx7*

That guy's voice puts me to sleep.

I read this article in MT. Even though the Stang and 370z are faster, I am planning to get this as my Wife's next car probably this summer. We went and looked at them at the dealer and I was impressed with the fit and finish and the MANY choices of trim levels...

Atilla 05-04-2009 01:05 PM

that's a huge sig line...:icon_no2:

If you think about it , it really didn't do to bad...
It pulled what a 350Z would pull 5.5 ticks 14.2 in the 1/4 mile, thats what a 07 Z does with its 307HP rev up motor.

And its only .4 ticks faster than a RX-8 and .3 faster in the 1/4 mile with a optimal driver behind the wheel.

The Genesis is 2 years too late, maybe next time around Hyundai!:yesnod:

what ever..... i can change it just for you...................

dynamho 05-04-2009 02:51 PM

Kinda bummed that the Mustang didn't win even w/a V8.

9krpmrx8 05-04-2009 03:05 PM

I saw a Genesis the other day with a wing and I thought it was G37 at first glance. It was a baby blue color and looked really nice I must admit. Although, this Z is just Sick.

I honestly can't stand the stock 370z exterior. :icon_no2:

Jedi54 05-04-2009 03:25 PM

Tas Loco.

kersh4w 05-04-2009 08:53 PM

that 370z above looks mazdaspeed front end inspired.

krijpipudht 05-04-2009 10:25 PM

Stock 370Z is ugly.
and I'm disappoint with Nismo and Mine's 370Z too.

But
Zele is hot.

I am sorry but stock Mustangs are not that fast. From the '80s on the Z cars has always trumped it in performance.The regular Mustangs(non Roush, Saleen, Cobra,etc) are great from 0-75, but once they start hitting tripple digit speeds they run out of steam quickly. I had a '99 35th anniversary Mustang and with its V8 it was great from light to light runs , but highway runs was down right silly. :icon_no2:

Even in that drag race i kinda knew what was going to happen. The Z and the Mustang would be neck and neck for a few seconds then the Z was going to pull away. The Hp and gearing in the Z is what makes it have the edge over the Mustang.

Another reason to purchase and mod the turbo 4 coupe.

I was cheering for the underdog for a moment, since a majority of people here seem to like raggin' on the Mustang.

I think the 2010 version looks pretty cool, better than the new Z styling.

Keep in mind that the Genesis that was tested didn't have the revised ECU flash from Hyundai. It still wouldn't have beat either of those cars, but it would have shaved a few tenths off of the 1/4.
