2015 Genesis 5.0 vs Jeep SRT8

[rocky-mountain]

This was filmed in Saudi Arabia and both cars are bone stock. The Genesis definitely has some impressive top end performance.

The V8 is not all that impressive when compared to other brands of similar hp from a standstill HOWEVER when the speed gets up there and you punch her, my oh my is all I can say.

That CTS-V has 640hp, and a 4.3 second 0-60 time is actually unimpressive considering the amount of power that thing has. The latest Mercedes S400 coupe with just 367hp can do 0-60 in 4.6 seconds and its also heavier than the CTS-V. I've noticed GM cars need huge power to match the acceleration of many cars with considerably less power.

To add a potentially relevant data point, all of the German triumvirate tends to under-rate their power numbers.

A friend of mine who works at a tuning shop with a dyno has told me that BMW and Mercedes are well-known for underrating the power of their cars and that you are more likely to find more optimistic quotes from American makes (particularly GM and Chrysler).
