And yes, those videos weren't 1/4 mile times, but I would say a 1/4 mile is a good way to judge power. Where as on a track, the driver matter more or at least equal to the performance of a car. I can pull up videos of a pro driver in a civic beating "sports" cars. Does that instantly make the civic a better car?
1/4 time is not about power. It is more about weight/power ratio (which is for MY11 Gen Coupe TERRIBLE in comparison to Z34). But what is more important, how easily it can transform that power to speed. Which is also problem of Hyundai if I compare old Tiburon (in Europe just Coupe) in 2.0i and GEN Coupe 2.0T there is no improvement in 0-62mph times! And we talk about a lot weaker NA 2.0 and FWD car made by Hyundai.
