Mitlov,
IIRC US pricing for the Mustang GT and 370Z base are about the same, aren't they?? In Canada, as usual, we get hosed.
370Z = $40K
Mustang GT = $37K
Hyundai Coupe = $33K
BARGAIN = Hyundai 4 banger turbo at $25K. That ALOT of leftover cheddar for mods!!
So long as you want the manic powerband of a tuned 2.0L four instead of a relatively smooth torque curves like the Genesis V6 and Ford V8 deliver, a highly-tuned Genesis 4-banger is the way to go.
The price differences are indeed much closer in the US. If I recall correctly, Genesis 2.0 starts at about $22,000 or $23,000, the Genesis V6 starts at about $27,000, the Mustang GT starts at about $27,000, and the 370Z starts at about $30,000. So there's only about $4,000 separating the Genesis 2.0T and Mustang GT. Far, far narrower price gap than in Canada.
Personally, I'd rather have a stock Mustang GT than a turbo four Genesis with $4,000 in mods. And I'd rather have a Mustang GT than a Genesis V6. As for GT versus 370Z, that's a tricky one since they're different genres altogether...
