the tilt steering is a mechanical last time i checked. VDC off will let you vandalise the asphalt. what i was referring to is how every car now is so over-modernized it makes for a boring drive. or maybe you're but hurt from not being able to afford a luxury sedan? or regret not getting a the 5.0 pony? |

I took a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 for a test drive yesterday. Engine was very weak (heard a few engine knocks, so may have been wrong/bad gas) and you have to turn the steering wheel a lot in order to turn. Suspension was a lot softer/looser than the 2009 370Z Touring I had. I was not impressed.

If you limit the rivals to have the same configuration as the Z (2-seater RWD), then,

One of my friends works at a hyundai dealer. Swears that the Genesis is faster 0-60, faster top speed, handles better on a skidpad and any road course, brakes better, is cheaper, and is more reliable and made with better materials.

Of course he does. LOL I test drove a 2013 Genesis coupe(six cylinder) and it was nice for a Hyundai, that's about it. I proved to some guy that his V6 Gen coupe wasn't as fast as the wifes Z or my G37 coupe in the same week. I really like the Genesis (almost bought one), but basically it's a cheap knock-off of a G37. I'm sure there are plenty of people who feel differently, but I'll take the Japanese original over a Korean imitation any day. BTW my wifes Z will SMOKE my G37.
