I almost forgot about the manual transmission, it was AWFUL. There are economy cars with better shifters out there than the Gen coupe. I told the salesman that, he refuted it, I told him to go next door to Mazda with me... he declined. Otherwise, interior is much nicer than the Z or 370 IMO

As for koreans and over rating their horsepower numbers, I agree. Their numbers are more reflective of Dog Power. (jokes aside, the gen coupe has some serious Jam).

+1 on the heritage of the 370Z
