370Z vs facelifted Genesis Coupe 2012 3.8

why do our engines rev so high? I drive hard and at times I'm nearly redlining

It doesn't rev that high. Coming from Honda (S2K/Si), our 7500rpm limit is laughable compared to 8800rpm (or higher if you get Hondata tune).


In other words, VTAK y0!

Yeah, those things rev! Makes me miss my little iVtAk commuter!

Hell even my lowly 5.0h revs to 7,500 with my tune.

On the topic of the Genesis Coupe: I don't think we have any test data out for the refresh yet so we should reserve judgement. It does look a little odd with the new face, but we'll see how the new engine revisions and any suspension changes turn out before we know exactly how it will compete against the Z.

With 350hp/300lb-ft, though, it's close enough to be a driver's race in a 1/4 mile drag. Put a average-mediocre Z driver against an average-good Genesis driver and it will probably be close!

What are the differences between high rev and low rev? How does it affect the car's performance? I know diesel car has low rev and the RX-8 has the highest rev for rotary engine cars.

Someone told me a long time ago that they like the low rev because you get to max speed faster than high rev.
