Thread: I Test Drove both 2day - Comments given

Take the 7 spd auto from the 370z. Drop it in the 3.8... and you will probably have the greatst GT automatic in the history of afforadable GT's. The genesis coupe's 3480lbs (250lbs lighter thn G37) 370z's gearing, throttle response, rev limit n shift speed on hyundai's 3.8. WoW. Dare to dream.
IMO, I love paddleshift. Where the manual is a more traditional and fun driving form. Paddleshift allows for a more focused driving experience, not to mention a faster car.
Technology has to move forward though and hyundai must be godspeed in competing with todays super sporty DSG'S & DCT's. One thing I have to give nissan respect for is creating a 7 speed slushbox that rivals a manual in feel and sound when in sprt modes. I pray the auto tranny in the genesis coupe evolves. This car is wayyyyy too hot for an ordinary slushbox and it would be too limiting to only sell it in manual. I would pay an extra 2k to see a formidable tranny in here. And not that 8 spd going in the genesis. An 8 spd will only be good if u don't plan on self shifting.

If you want an automatic, I'd go with the Shift-Tronic from Audi. Faster shifting then the 370

I havn't driven the 2.0T but can't imagine it being any better than the 3.8...Sorry fellas, I'm not buyin it.....Literally...I got the 3.8 manual and never thought to even look at the 2.0 as it's that damn good. Yeah yeah yeah, you can mod the 2.0 but why void the warranty to equal what you can have out of the box for around the same money as your mods with the 3.8? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE turbo cars and Mitsubishi does shit right, but I'm tired of having to customize the shit outta my car to get it on a level that is exciting or even acceptable on a daily basis. The 3.8 ROCKS and has a BROAD powerband all the way to redline with no turbo lag. Love this car, so damn happy I got it....
