just picked up a 3.3T RWd sport came from a '13 g37 that I had forever, figured I would join this community since the g70 board seems to only have a handful of active users, its essentially a stinger drive train and most bolt ons/parts even have same item numbers with some different body panels.
Looking forward to learning more about the platform/drive train and doing some bolt ons/tune.
First impressions, wow feels like I time travelled 10 years. The power vs G37 is incredible.I cross shopped this vs Acura TL-S / m340i / used M3 F80, test drove all 3 for extended periods of time and came to the conclusion that g70 was the best all around package.TL just felt anemic and interior quality / ride was not even close, power was very low for what it makes on paper.m340i felt slightly faster, but for a street car / dd the g70 is 9/10 performance for about 15k$ less.
Not to mention the 10 year warranty is a huge deal, this is the car you purchase vs the bmw would be an OK lease car (but fiy I got lease quotes m340i with 810 credit score everyone wanted 5k down and 1.3k a month, made no sense to lease a bmw vs get a g70 outright)
Power: coming from a g37 with 332hp on paper and this car being 365hp on paper - does not compute at all, its about twice as fast as the g37, the turbos spool extremely fast and the transmission feels equivalent to the m340i ZF (I also did test drive a 2019 g70 and this transmission tunning is definitely a huge upgrade)
Handling: did not get to test this much yet but no complaints, huge difference between comfort / sport modes.
Will review the rest of the qualities later, but this is bar none best bang for the buck you can get for an ICE sports sedan. I did consider Tesla model 3 performance
So far extremely impressed with build quality and what genesis has done as a new comer to the market. Looks are subjective but this is extremely unique unlike the plethora of the BMWs/Acuras on the road.
