0-60, 5.5 seconds
it did 14.2 @ 99.5 mph.

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

370z
0-60, 4.7 seconds
13.3 @ 107.1 mph

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.

No ads on my side, my ad blocker must be turned way up!

Here is the youtube vid of the race:

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!

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

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...

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!

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.

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

But
Zele is hot.
