Also, my willingness to buy Hyundai over VW shows my awareness that they have improved so much on dependability, quality and reliableness that they are BETTER than VW. It also shows that I am not ignorant like you who only cares about the car brand, instead i care about what the car actually gives me for my money. Thats why for $32,000 I have bought 370z instead of girly looking R32. (lol I believe that R32's nickname is rabbit? LOL)...Rabbit or hare... Why don't you compare the survey by J.D. Power, click below. For quality: Ratings | J.D. Power For dependability: Ratings | J.D. Power VW R32 price is 32,000. Horsepower 250 Torque (lb-ft) 236 Curb weight 3547 0-60: 5.8 sec 2008 Volkswagen R32 - First Drive - Motor Trend Hyundai Genesis Coupe is 27,000 Horsepower 306 Torque (lb-ft) 266 Curb weight 3294 0-60: 5.7 sec 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 V6 - Road Test/Performance Files: Tested by C/D/High Performance/Hot Lists/Reviews/Car and Driver - Car And Driver Yes, Hyundai GenCoupe is faster, better quality, and looks better doing it than R32. And seriously, please dont buy 370z, just buy R32 and get walked on by Hyundai Genesis Coupe..LOL Last edited by msl82; 05-28-2009 at 01:28 PM. |

Well to answer the original question: No, the 370z has no balls down low. The VR6 has superior low end torque, as does almost every VW in it's respective class. My suggestion would be to buy MK4 generation R32 - considering you like the platform AND the insane power gains people with freshly paid off MK4 R32s that are just beginning to make.

If you like the Hyundai so much why didn't you buy one? For real how old are you? I think I may cry if you call my Rabbit a girls car again. I bet your friend is a real Mario Andretti behind the wheel if your 2wd car that weights the same with only slightly more torque is able to pass his awd at less than 15 mph. Or should I have used Danica Patrick since he drives "girly car"

I'm wondering what the G37 guys had to say about the lack of low end punch, and I wonder by now if anyone has improved it.
My exhaust is arriving in a few weeks, and it'll be installed along with the HFCs. Hopefully that'll help a bit on the low end. Overall, I think throttle response is quite conservative under 3k. I wonder if it has to do with fuel economy since this is the typical driving range?

The only real exception to all of the above is launching the car from a stop drag-race style. Doing that on a regular basis on the street is just abusive and pointless imho, and the car was never designed to be a drag-strip queen anyways. I'm still going to hit the local strip 1-2 more times just to see what kind of numbers I can get down to, but I don't plan on making it a habit. |

The new Z may not be the fastest car pre 4000 RPM but above 4K, it's a beast! The acceleration is just amazing and nothing like VQ35DE. I thank the guy who decided to put acceleration lanes before highway - EVERYDAY! oh the sound it makes after 4K =
