I know we may be going off topic. But how do u like the gen compared to the z?

Perhaps because I am used to the way my z is set up. But I like the way the z feels more. I could not get used to my friends gen at all.

Yea I drove the 2013 Genesis 3.8 before I bought the 2013 370. I didnt like the way it drove AT THE TIME but LOVED all the tech and interior. The salesman didnt know shit about the car either. If he did I probably still would have bought the Z but the decision might have been harder. I come from a long line of Z's 260, 280, 300, 350 and the 370 and generally scoffed at "stupid Hyundai s". Then, about 10 months owning a base 370 with sport and hitting the magical age of 36, the thrill of driving a no frills, tweaked up sports car in south florida traffic got old. And quick. And buying the Z in 2013 i got RAPED on price. That was THE most expensive year to buy. My base with sport was $35K!!! It had a radio and cruise control, thats it. Dont get me wrong, I LOVED driving it, in the right conditions. And thats at the track in Sebring which i went to ALOT with CHIN racing, and open back roads. It was fabulous!! But that aint reality. So thinking back to the Genesis interior and tech, i test drove one again and made the switch. Off the line the Z has it, though not by much. On a roll, my butt dyno says the 3.8 will take it. Handling...no contest, the Z, easy. Comfort....Genny by a HUGE margin. Tech...Genny by a HUGE margin (I can start my car with my phone as an example is just the tip of the iceberg.) So for 350HP, 300TQ, peanut butter leather, 8speed auto with paddls, moonroof, NAV, all the tech and goodies for LESS than I paid for a base Z. much better daily driver than the Z but the Z is a Sports car, through and through. The 3.8 is a Grand Tourer. Which its great at.

Love metal shift knob... but after owning titanium shift knob on my Impreza, I'll never own one.

Why? Cuz this (not my pic, but you get my point) After driving in hot summer day, my right palm have this "ITƧ" lol

This is why I keep one of my microfiber sunglass bags in the car. Granted, it still gets pretty hot, just not that hot.

I look like a dork in summer wearing my racing gloves for the sole purpose of not burning my hand on my metal shifter.

Man I love my palm branding of the 86 logo!

One summer day I slapped my hand on there without thinking and it really did leave a faint red 86 logo on my palm
Hurt like a bitch.
It went away though.
