Not that we consider the quarter mile "drag-race" test as being of any significant importance -there's not much to tell about a car from a straight-line, pedal-to-the-metal sprint- but nevertheless, we were more than curious to see how the all-new Hyundai Genesis Coupe with its 306HP 3.8-liter V6 engine managed against the also new, Nissan 370Z that comes with a 332HP 3.7-liter V6 and the 2010 Ford Mustang GT that is powered by a 4.6-liter V8 with 315HP.

- Speed At Any Cost? Nissan 370z Value Assessment With Hyundai Genesis In The Shadow
One could make the case that March 25th "Speed At Any Cost" comparison between the Nissan GT-R and the Nissan 370Z revealed the very high-value GT-R to be a rotten deal. Now, that was neither the post's purpose or the truth. However, one all-too-true...
