Well it slots well against the V6 Mustang and still ?? Camaro price wise. HP is on par with the RX8 albeit at a huge weight disadvantage. Price might make it the sports car to have for the uninitiated performance fan. Still has a great warranty
![]() I like it. No way it is on the level with a 370, V8 2+2 sportscars but might steel some accord coupe fans, miata buyers, and the active 20 somethings that appear to be its target demographic. My question is have you read about the 09 Solistice GXP Targa?

I was disappointed because I thought it was going to be the spiritual replacement of a 240SX.......with more emphasis on light weight and handling as opposed to power and luxury.

That 2.0 turbo is hyundai's version of mitsu and dodge's current turbo used in the evo and srt4 respectfully. Ought to be a high level of parts interchange. Only a fool would take the six

Comparing that to teh RX 8 Is a Joke...Talk about a car that has no Feel of anything...It felt Flat when I drove it...like it wasnt goign anywhere...and the Rear end would chatter everytime I chirped 2nd or tried to get the ass end to slide out.
350Z is a nice car to drive in stock form...Dunno about the 370z Yet but THere nice looking...And as far as the Genesis...I like it, I'd def rock one.

My 350Z didn't hang it out to well either. These kinds of sports cars take a roadracing technique similar to a 125 or 250 GP bike. Wide cornering arc to keep us speed and maximize mid corner, keep it in line and driving forward as opposed to the front end heavy American muscle cars that are best when using all that extra HP spinning the rear to finish a corner ala Superbikes....
