Link is wrong. Can't find the article.

I am assuming by "power to weight ratio being better", they are comparing against the V6 models of the Challenger and Camaro....?

Yes the V6 model gets 310 HP and weighs in at 3300#'s, But is rumored to push 30k (the sedan version is already possible to option to high 30's).

For V6, Asian, and $30K I think the smart money would be on the 370Z being a better buy than the Genesis coupe.

Styling aside, this looks like a pretty interesting piece - especially the "Track" model.

Hyundai: 3,402lbs and 310hp = 1hp per 10.97lbs @ $28,636

Yet somehow asking for a Camaro to be under 3500lbs was "too expensive"?
