Few points I want to make before everyone starts bitching.
Yes the 370z is the most expensive, I understand this.
Yes the Genesis would have won the competition if it had some wider tires and better traction control or traction control turned off.
Yes the mustang is the cheapest of the 3.

I been saying that for awhile now bro.Originally posted by NewbieChris View PostOMG, you can admit the Genesis is a good car now?
My boy got a gen 3.8 track model a few months after I got my 370.
There are a few things about the genesis that I like a lot better then the 370. I made a post about it awhile back.

lol.Originally posted by wnabeabeast View PostGreat article but they fucken tip toed to much. It sounded like they didn't wanna hurt anybody's feelings, but...having said that, Mustang absolutely dominates the Nissan 370Z in the cupholder department.:thumup:
i thought it was pretty fair to be honest.
they listed both positives and negatives of each car.

I totally agree but read this paragraph below. Whole article is full of stuff like this.Originally posted by THE BOUNCER View Postlol.

"The Genesis Coupe was somewhere in the middle, let down by its skinny tires. While the Nissan and the Ford just dug in and smoothly transitioned from corner to corner, the Hyundai squealed and bopped all over the place. It was without question the most taxing and tiring car of the three, yet paradoxically was also by far the most rewarding, fun and satisfying to drive. The 370Z was like driving a fist. Brutal, mean, unapologetic and somehow mindless. Our Mustang, despite its option-free skid row interior, was the closest to a luxury ride up in the canyons. Easygoing, nonchalant and almost effortless. Harley noted that the Mustang might very well be his pick for a daily driver, but the best of the three for a long distance run. The Genesis, by contrast, was the Goldilocks of the trio. It moved the right way, it's ride was firm without being jarring and was without question the sportiest feeling car on hand. On one run at the limits of both grip and sanity, I was thrilled by the Coupe's excellent moves. However, no matter how hard I pushed the Hyundai there was a bright blue 370Z (and Lavrinc's smile) up my tailpipe."

but i think you can have both. you can have a car that whips around and makes noise and at the same time have the most fun and feel to it.

well if you read the whole review you will see that the 370z didn't exactly kill the competition. hell the genesis would have beat it in the review if not for a few small things.Originally posted by buell View Postok, the 370 is the wolf in sheeps clothing in this comp. and if i may as a past owner of a 260 and a 280 z car datsun owns the book on how to go fast and look good ...are u happy now:)
P.S. i own a 370 but it by no means a wolf compared to hens in this review.
