    @superorgasm HAHA well the American shows take the approach of don’t be interesting and it will appeal to everyone. So they produce a steaming pile of shit that the masses can all enjoy.

    yeah, stayed up to late and didn’t catch that with the blurry eyes, thanks for the responses!

    @Cemaros76 that wasnt the new 5.0 man, that would have shit on the 370z.

    @RotaryLover87
    I can tell by your username that you like cars
    Do you like the rx-8, by any chance? It has a rotary engine, if I’m not mistaken

    @xxMafia101 It’s called PRODUCT PLACEMENT…The producers get paid…It is done all the time and helps with the production costs of our tv shows. I remember Ford had a deal with “Alias”…Twice they basically had nonsense car chases with Ford Vehicles.Lot’s of snap zoom shots to the FORD logo and Miami Vice style photography…

    @Cemaros76 this video was posted in 2009, meaning it’s the 2010 model.

  7. Cemaros76 says:

    was this a 2010 GT or the 2011? not to knock the 370, its a beautiful car, but either you didn’t get the new GT with the 3.73 gears or you used a 2010 model, previously it did 4.4 to 60.

    no offense but the genesis’ front looks realllyyyy bad

    he sounds like he’s reading one of those fine prints on a radio talk show.

    @superorgasm he sounds like hes crying or throwing up

    @adtfrost666 such a chick thing to say. i would rather have a car that performed well and looked good, as opposed to a car that looked fast and just lost a race to a hyundai :S

    btw, not a hyundai fan, by any means, just trying to be logical.

  13. edgarure says:

    This guy is fucking stupid you can see that the asshole that was driving the mustang does not know how to shift gears.

    @xxMafia101 amen

  15. adtfrost666 says:

    370z is such a good looking car. I wouldn’t want a Hyundai… Even if it were faster.. It seems as though it would prompt people to say “Excuse me… Your sports car has HYUNDAI wrote on it.” aaaand… Your pride would be raped of you…

    @xdhd327 thank you! America love it or leave it!

  17. Sackajawiiia says:

    lol! i love that the Z took the win with np, yet it wasnt ever designed to be a quarter mile car… the Z spanks them on a real mans track aswell!

    @epicfail86 Hey, it’s cool. I’m just somebody who actually has detailed experience with most vehicles. Also, has an open mind to which brand is actually doing better than the other; and what product each brand has to offer. Plus, thank you Jesus, that when nissan decided to remake some of their vehicles; they did an excellent job producing the 370. The GT-R R35, however, is a big dissapointment. I would have the 370 over the gt-r anyday. I used to work for a nissan delaership.

    the guy talks so booring

    Maybe the Genesis coupe is a good car. But Hyundai is pathetic. I can’t even watch Burn Notice with out them indorsing the godly Genesis’s brakes or how it has 300 HP to get away from bad guys faster.

    @xdhd327 My dad doesn’t build them he sells them and he has an increasingly more difficult time saying good things about GM. Face it, they they went bankrupt for a reason. Labor costs aside, if they built quality reliable cars that actually looked good they wouldn’t be in the position they are in. Instead they still have old Bob Lutz trying to design new cars with an old man’s mentality… stubborn to change. Ever watch Field of Dreams? “If you build it, they will come.” GM doesn’t build it.

    mustang had a bad launch- they can get to 60 in less time than the Z(according to other magazines i have read) but i like the stang and the z both nice cars

  23. xdhd327 says:

    @kddurp

    I wouldn’t agree with your statement that U.S. bottom of the barrel, they are saddled with high labor costs for worker benefits, coupled with benefits for retired workers, something Hyundai does not have to contend with regarding their underpaid workers.

    How ironic that your Dad’s Detroit’s benefits package put the vaccination shots into your little toddler baby butt so you could grow up to dis your country and your fathers hard work all the while promoting Korea.

    @biyorkman
    “true ability without fabrication”??????
    how the ef can you have ability, or anything, for that matter, without fabrication?
