Sure, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/genesis+coupe\">Hyundai Genesis Coupe<\/a> has been around since 2009. And not counting a seven-year walkabout, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/370z\">Datsun\/Nissan Z<\/a> has been with us in one form or another since the first moon landing. Want to talk old? The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/mustang\">Ford Mustang<\/a> dates back to the invention of the wheel. At least it seems that way. <\/p>\n<p>So why no comparison until now? Because until quite recently, Ford&#8217;s entry level V6-powered Mustang was never really a sports car. The heavy, near impotent Cologne iron-block V6 was a joke, fit for little more than rental car duty, and it wasn&#8217;t even terribly adept at that. But the non-V8 pony car has undergone some significant changes for 2011 &#8211; the biggest being its all-aluminum V6 producing 305 horsepower and 280 pound feet of torque &#8211; allowing it to finally hang with these two V6-powered competitors from across the Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>At least on paper. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/05\/17\/battle-of-the-sixes-mustang-v6-takes-on-genesis-coupe-and-370z\/#continued\"><em>Read on<\/em><\/a><em> to find out which V6-powered sports car reigns supreme.
