Besides at least the excitement all lasted us for a few months before the car got seemingly "slower" so let's let him ride that high for a while too, lol.
Well put.
Even on paper these cars are dog $h!t as far as acceleration goes, 5.2 - 5.4 0-60? The new WRX does it in 4.7-4.9 off the showroom floor. Find a friend with a Vette Z06 or 911 Turbo (3.5 - 4 second 0-60 cars), a co-worker just got an 09 Caddilac CTS-V, 0-60 in 3.9 seconds
Those are beasts.
My G37S looks hawt, is fun to drive, has every creature comfort I can imagine and is fairly affordable. Take the car for what it is, not a beast...

We admire Infiniti because they give you more bang for your buck but since when were they expected to offer a car with M3 numbers for entry level prices?
Never, the last time I checked.
Correction: CTS-V (which is an M5 beater).
True but have you seen the "dash" on the new camaro?

And I wouldn't exactly call the car a beast but I wouldn't call it a slouch. Sure there are other faster cars out there but, like Joe points out above, let the guy be excited about his new ride! (btw, I lived in Bridgewater from 1980-2001) Have I heard of faster cars? Yes. Have I seen faster cars? Yes. Have I ridden in faster cars? Yes. Have I driven faster cars? Yes. It's STILL a VERY fun car to drive. Why else are we all here? I have a friend with a heavily modified car that will crush C6 Z06's and he still loves to drive my wife's G37. In his own words, it is the closest car to "fun factor" he has driven to his turbo car
I thought about holding out for the new camaro too but that interior just throws it all off. The interior doesnt have to be retro too!
The G37 is more my style anyways and I really didnt want to go V8 and you just cant buy a V6 Camaro cause then everyone would laugh at you, cause that is what I do if I see one. hehe.
On the other hand, that LS3 is the chit!!!! and the LS7 is the chit plus sprinkles!!!

Are you still talking about a G37 here? Mine doesn't do that. Well I take that back, if I drop the car into second, slow down quickly, then mash the gas, that will throw you back in your seat... but you can do that in an Accord...
OP just used a bad choice of words. I do agree that its not a beast but fast enough. If you bought it just to drag or track it you shoulda bought a different car.

There's a guy on the forums who is looking for NOS.. I'm pretty sure he knows someone who sells torque. one dolla, one dolla, one dolla, one dolla!

Guys the OP is excited from having a new car and trust me coming from a 4 cylinder Honda Accord - I know the feeling I got when I was first driving my G - I still get the feeling when I push it. We all know there's "faster" cars but just because his felt like a beast to him doesn't mean we should crush that excitement.

Who knew my enthusiasm would be downsized by fellow owners. What a shame of a forum or at least shame on its members...




The new LSA is where it's at though.
