For some reason, I can't find any reviews of a G37 (not IPL) that have any measured performance specs. So, if you know, what's 0-60 mph with the automatic transmission and the current engine?

It should be the same from 2010-2013.

The problem is that I can only find a review for the 2009, which is slightly lighter than the 2010+ models. Also, you have the X model, which is also a bit heavier.

0-60 should be around 5.2-5.6 seconds.

By the Numbers: 2014 Infiniti Q50, G37, and G35 Sedans

2009 Infiniti G37x S Sedan - First Test - Motor Trend

Any fractional difference in weight isn't going to make a significant difference.

So what could be the difference in the times and mph in the 1/4 mile of the G37S vs Q50S vs G37xS, besides the weight?

It varies depending on who tests it, track conditions, etc.

The "By the Numbers" article is pretty accurate. They are all pretty close in acceleration despite drastically different driving experiences (especially the xS vs. the S 6MT).

You have losses with the 7AT vs. the 6MT, but the 7AT has a much more aggressive first gear. The xS has a couple of hundred pounds more weight and some extra losses but makes up with better traction off the line. Any of the G sedans mid-5 second 0-60 and a mid-high 13 second quarter.

The original MT test with the 2009 at 5.0 seconds - I've never seen that duplicated anywhere on a stock G37.

Thanks for all of this information!

What is the reason you are curious? For real-world driving? Rarely is standstill acceleration important. On the sharpest of turns you shouldn't drop below 25-30mph and that is hairpin-like. Accelerate with traction control off out of a turn at 5-6000rpm in 2nd or 3rd and hold on. The G is more than quick enough for normal roads. If you live in a state with few police in rural areas like SWIM (Western MD, PA, WV etc), than I have heard 120-130mph comes quick. I see you have an X like myself. Put some 245/50ZR17 tires all around, a Hotchkis or G37S (370z) rear sway on + GTSPEC rear lower tie and rear lower lateral brace, mishimoto or Z1 silicone intake tubes, full synthetic oil (AMSOIL Signature/Mobile 1), keep your throttle bodies clean, and AFE drop-in air filters and you should have plenty of fun. Maybe I am getting ahead of myself, but just some info based on what I have learned in the 4 months of ownership. I recently read an article (Tire Pressure Guide - Tech - Sport Compact Car Magazine) regarding proper tire inflation for performance. A good starting guide is your curb weight/100 for a base PSI + 2PSI all around + 2PSI for the heavier side, which is the front for the X. Comes out to ~42psi in the front and 40 in the rear. I just tested it and it feels much better. Less roll, more grip, tighter steering and should help with gas mileage. Put some synthetic brake fluid in (ATE TYP 200 is fine), maybe Akebono OEM Performance pads, SS lines, and some good rotors (stock ones will warp around 20-25k usually). Happy driving

Track conditions, testing procedures, launch technique, weather, altitude, degree of engine break in, etc.

Do you really think the average person is going to notice the difference in 5.0 vs 5.2 seconds 0-60? In the real world, that is like saying you notice the difference in 1/4 vs 3/4 tank of gas, or the addition of an extra passenger. It's a ~3500 pound 4 door sedan after all, 0-60 in the low 5 second range is pretty quick

I've always found it bizarre that every car review puts 0-60 as an important barometer and lose thier mind when a car is a few 10ths of a second slower then they expected when launching. 99% of buying public has no use for it. For real world driving, tests with how fast a car goes from 60-100mph and the amount of mid range torque a car has is a much more useful stat.

99% of the car buying public has no use for 60-100 either. Few people actuall go that fast.

I like car and drivers 5-60 test as it removes the launch from the equation, because again, how many people are launching at 5k?

I know about the torque; I feel it daily. I just wanted a 0-60 number for comparison with what I might replace my G with when the lease is over. The buyout price is highly excessive, especially considering the big MSRP price drop after I had signed the lease.

Well, TL SH-AWD isn't really an option, IS350 is bland exterior-wise and it's feel, 335i is such a tease, is quite lovely, but is still disconnected a bit and you pay more for the same features and parts are probably expensive for DIYs, Cadillac ATS4 3.6 isn't bad, but not as fast and pricey, Audi S4 is pricey and may not be too fun to maintain (expensive parts?), Jag XE isn't out yet and XF is pricey, 2015 Mustang is tempting and has good value...Get a 2014 G37s...Really can't go wrong and they dropped the price $4k.

335i is disconnected? Have you driven one? Those are beautiful cars. Reliability remains a concern as there is a price to pay for small displacement, direct injected boosted performance, but a nice car nonetheless. I also would have to disagree on the IS350 being bland. The grill takes some time to get used to, but they are gorgeous cars as well.

Both cars are alot more expensive than the G37, but value is where the G37 excels.

The IS350 is cush. It coddles you, which is fine if that is what you want, but you aren't connected to the road. I have driven the 2014 335i X-Drive, 2014 535i, and 2014 328i, and 2014 328d wagon all on the autobahn. Let me rephrase my statement. If it weren't for the G's value, I'd have a 435i Gran Coupé. Slap on the JB4 and hold on. I know. I believe BMWs are superior to MB, Audi, Infiniti, Lexus...But I think the G is a bit more raw. I have a few suspension mods and I like how the G gives me feedback and input. I can feel the road surface in the wheel, pedals, and seat. The engine screams above 5k. The BMWs cabin is quieter and it just doesn't give as much feedback. Most of the reviews concur that each generation gets softer and softer. Regardless, I am happy with the G even though I had to take it away from stock to feel that happiness.

I agree with socket - a sport equipped 335i is a really impressive sport sedan that will leave the G37 eating dust. Especially the older N54 engine. Notice that an x-drive BMW with the sport package is the same deal as a G37xS. You lose the quick steering ratio, sport suspension, and big brakes. Audi S4 is in the same ball park. I like the G for it's interior, it's sound system, reliability and low operating cost. But don't dis the 335 unless you really get to know one. Preferably a RWD with the full sport package.
