I only roll race though, from 25 - 40 with TapShift. 
However, I did come across a turbo 350Z that caught me off-guard.

i dont think youll beat the genesis. i raced one hesitated on launching the car cause the gf was in the car, but i wasnt really reeling him in. heads up if i launched the car i think it would be pretty close. you gotta figure the imp has to be a few hundred pounds heavier then the monte. i think both cars should beat you but not by much. i think your best chance is from a roll.

i have beaten 350zs while stock, from digs and low rolls.. Its a drivers race and you have more of a chance of ******* up because its harder to launch a fwd, if your going from a roll make sure its low enough that you can downshift into first and you should win.
actually not to disrespect to any genesis owners.. but i stepped all over one.. a coupe with the windows stickers still on it.. lol did keep up though wen i let off..lol nice car but u gotta quite down the shittalkers every once in a while..

he has the 3.8 v6 with the four doors. we went to that ricer bakerz meet in Queens, NY and it was fast but i blew past him everytime but of course we were going from rolls. the only problem i have is it that damn 350z they run 13.8's in the quarter mile but they dont have any torque (268 lbs of torque) vs (323 lbs of torque) but the impalas are running 14.2's stock
I would race him from a 10 to 15mph roll. I think you'll win... I raced a G-35 when I was stock and toasted it!!! I think you'll have the same result... We shine down low, they shine up high...

The Camaro in the vid. is a V-6 one and that Hyundai should beat it. The Hyundai weighs less and has about the same HP as the Camaro. Now if the Camaro was an SS, the Hyundai wouldn't stand a chance... This is just my opinion...

wait it its the 4 door? Then that changes things..
the Genesis’ destined-to-be-default 3.8-liter V6 is rated at some 290 horsepower. That makes for some quick acceleration from a standstill. the 3700lb four-door runs out of puff once in motion (i.e., 264 lb·ft of torque at 4,500 rpm). It would certainly be an error to call the Genesis V6 a slow car, but it ain’t quick neither.
its got less HP 290-300
less torque 264-323
weight 3700-3718
And from what I have read about the V8 4 door genesis..that car keeps up with the Impy. So if that just gets by..With this one being the V6 the Impy should win this one hands down.
Now the idea of him saying..well my yada yada yada 350Z..tell him shut up its not his car..I hate pople like that..
