370Z vs facelifted Genesis Coupe 2012 3.8
 
So, for next model year will be Z less powerfull in comparison. Still faster and better. But 350 BHP will be standard for 3.8 engine in Genesis Coupe. And yes, no high revving engine like that one in our beloved cars.

The facelift on the Gen Coupe is like Micheal Jackson's plastic surgery... It looks horrible.

It looks like a g37

Not so good suspension and body rigidity is missing. But in comparison to power. Nissan, we are high revving, where is more power? VVEL looks like limit :(

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

And I don't care. :icon17: I'm not a fan of their facelift. Was better before. They needed to fix the privacy glass on the rear side glass.

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! :happydance:

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

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

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!

If you're in the market for a G37, I think the Gen coupe would be the better choice. As far as the 370z, it's still a sleek looking 2 seater sports car, and the Gen coupe isn't. The Gen will always be a more practical every-day car, it just depends what you're looking for in a car.
