At the end of the day, it's not all about the power. The Z is sexy as hell though, few things you probably already know but didn't considered it:

>Seats - 2 on Z vs 4 for Genesis. Do you need to occassionally give lifts or relocate/travel a lot? I found the Z annoying when putting my stuff vs my E46 and my E92, you can't fit 2 luggages and a 42 inch TV on it.

>Trunk - like the Seats, I don't care what people say you can't fit **** bigger than a golf bag or 4 backpacks - no bueno unless you don't care objects flying back to the cockpit after hard breaking.

>Maintenance - mods will be a little pricier, you'll start being anal with oils you use, tires will be pricier, gas consumption will be higher.

I'm not trying to push you away from a Z, this is merely my experience since I always impulse buy my vehicles without researching. Bottom line, don't rush it.

Now if you like it, things you need to do:

>Pricing - find out if a local Nissan or CarMax has a better price regardless if your are purchasing out right or financing. Our forum have vendors and sponsors, you may want to drive or fly out if someone here can hook you up.

>Trim - I strongly recommend Touring Sport w/ Nav or at least base w/ Sport Package - SRM or SyncRev Match is the ****! And those calipers look hawt!

>Color - If you are top bottom, might as well get something you'll appreciate. Like me, I got a 40th but didn't realized I wanted a yellow or red one.

>Nismo - I didn't include this on the trim as I highly regard the Nismo line. If you can do Nismo, do it. Don't listen to the bullcrap people say. Nismo is Nismo, you might end up considering buying these parts later.

>Your car - need to start parting your Genesis while it's new and early.

>Finances - since you considered the Z, make sure there is no looking back. This car will leech you lol.

None the less, the Z and Genesis I think are both awesome cars. Good luck on you decision OP!
