Genesis Vs. 370Z

BanningZ · 12-07-2008, 11:48 PM

Now don't get me wrong,...I am NOT buying this thing and don't believe I will ever buy a Hyundai.
BUT
This thing has HP above 300, a 6 SPD Manual, RWD, and is priced Fully loaded below a base 370Z and 10K below a fully loaded 370Z.

With Hyundai gaining a better and better reputation, it makes me wonder.

Will the Genesis give the 370Z some competition?
10K can buy a lot of mods and easily 30hp.
