As a Mustang and Z fan, I have to give credit where it is due. Great job on Ford's part by producing a great competitor.

Please don't turn this into a flame fest...

Excellent article. I was very impressed with my test drive of the Genesis Coupe but I'm glad I went with the 370Z. It's much more suitable as a weekend fun car which it will be.

The new Mustang is pretty sweet. A whole different animal than just a few years ago.

I would totally be buying a new GT but I just want a 2 seater right now so the Z it is. Mustang might come a couple years down the road, though.

I dont think it was a fair fight .. The 2010 GT and new 370Z are cars that have been refined over many years and this is Genesis first try .. Maybe things will be more even in a couple years ...

I think its a fair comparison since they all are in the same category, the Z once more kicks ***............. But lets give some credit to Hyundai for making a better looking car. The Korean's are getting closer to nissan's performance each year but are not there just yet.

I think more fair would be a 2009 Mustang and a 350Z

I must be Z brain washed, because nothing else impresses me!

Well Ferrari, or a Ford GT, that might impress me.
