The 4 banger will most likely be very close to 280hp and I know for sure 333hp is confirmed for the genesis sedan. I think the genesis coupe may be tuned into the 340's?? I say this only because the current genesis sedan 3.8 gets 290hp while the gencoupe gets 306/312prem. So it might get tuned a little further again into the 340-350range. MTspeculated the 6dct for the gencoupe this year and the 333hp is based on the 8 speed traditional auto. If the gencoupe gets DI and DCT, I would expect higher numbers for sure. One other thing, if the gencoupe makes minor suspension tweaks and widens the r spec and track tires along with that HP/TQ bump. Expect a hyundai to be serious comp and not the fly by night "Meh its a hyundai and not real sports car" many dismiss it as.
Anyway, the Z is my favorite car. I just hope that lackluster Z sales doesn't affect nissan in terms of making a more powerful Z. Honestly guys,I haven't heard anything about the Z except for a few sketches and some hybrid diesel crap. And that kinda news does nothing for enthusiasts.
I'm praying nissan does something for both Z and G. Honestly, the G37ipl is a joke. It should have been the G37s and sold at 46k max Instead of 51k max. Its decisions like these that will make nissan fall apart in the enthusiast segment. The skyline needs to be more skyline and less pseudo luxury.


Nissan definitely needs to step it up if they want to stay competitive. I think there is a new version of the G37 coming for the 2012 model year. The IPL G37 was definitely a disappointment IMO. It's pretty much like a Nismo 370Z compared to a non-Nismo. They added a body kit and a little more power, should have just called it the G37 Nismo. It's not really competing with anything where it's at. It's nowhere near anything like BMW's M division or Mercedes AMG.
