The Genesis is a heavy car from what I recall... 3400 or 3500 lbs I believe. Honestly if I were to get one of those it would have been the 2.0t, but they are very hard to crack when it comes to tuning and such.

If I had to have my pick I would always pick the Z. I always have loved the cars and i've owned 2 Evo's, a Mazdaspeed 3 and a 93 Mustang 5.0 LX.

Just because the Genesis has the Brembo's don't be fooled... while they are an EXCELLENT brake.. the Z will stop in 101 feet according to car and driver. That rivals a lot of much more expensive cars.

I have not driven the Genesis. I think it's a nice looking car but ultimately to me ... it's still a Hyundai and there seems to be a lot more of those than 370's... or at least in my area. If you aren't worried about the modding and such i'd go with the Z... the steering, the braking, the auto in the car supposedly is great though I have a 6MT.

I also have to say I just like the Z's styling better. Remember, Nissan has a lot more years of experience with performance cars.

Just my 02 cents though... hope you are happy whichever way you go!
