Dude, it's a great car, that's why everyone on this forum has one (well, except me). No one is trying to downsize your enthusiasm, just criticizing your choice of words. Your definition of "Beast" is way different than most every one else on here.

 

It's ok, my G is a beast too. Just not in traffic, then it's a turtle. A beastly turtle.

Hey, all I have to say is that the G is my first car and I feel spoiled! Any car that has more than 300hp is a "fast" car.....end of discussion. These days there are "beasts" on the road, but they are extremely impractical with 480+ hp. Our cars are pleanty fast as is. 10 years ago a 450hp Diablo was a beast, but now looks like a pu$$y in the LP640's shadow. Of course, everything is relative. Just have fun with your car and be careful! If you ever get a little bored just turn off the traction control and get a little loose....that's what I do

 

You boys that think the car has no torque think so because the torque curve is so smooth.

Welcome to the modern world of VVEL.

What you FEEL as torque is the change in acceleration.

Try this. Go to any rpm between 4000 and 6000rpm in 2nd gear. Auto, manual, doesnt matter. Hold it steady at that rpm for a few seconds. Now whomp on the gas. The torque you feel now is HUGE isnt it? That's the same torque you feel every time, except the change is bigger.

Perhaps it's completely in my head, but the pickup on our cars seems to be extremely dependent on environmental factors (particularly temperature and how long the engine has warmed up). It can be anywhere from a little sluggish to damn quick.

Either way, I love the car. I did get to take my boss' new GT-R for a spin about two weeks back though. When traffic finally opened up and I let the hammer drop... Without a doubt the fastest car I have ever had the privilege of driving. I'll post pics up soon, and hopefully a comprehensive writeup if he lets me take it out again!

 

Nope, I don't think that's it at all. I think at 4000-6000 rpm the horsepower really starts to come on and that's what I'm feeling. I know the torque curve is flat as a pancake because of the VVEL and that's really neat to see on all the dyno graphs, but I'm starting to realize it causes other issues now.

Instead of going to any rpm between 4000 and 6000 rpm in 2nd gear per your test, go to as low an rpm in 2nd gear as you can and hit it. If you stay in the throttle through the whole rpm range you can tell there is a definate pick up in acceleration around 5000 rpm. You already admitted the torque doesn't change throughout the rpm band. At 5000 rpm the engine finally started making some horsepower and the thing just takes off.

Whether or not the torque is smooth or the engine has a flat torque curve or whatever, the car is low on torque.

 

Mike...+1...he sold me the damnn car at inifiniti and is a personal friend, he knows what sup

 

most people hating don't have a g37 sh*t they might not even own a car. You guys are comparing Z06 and caddy spec v's lmfao. All i have to SAY IS GTR

 

+1 It's in the eye of the beholder. Most your girlfriends wouldn't look hot to me but you'd probably think she's the next top model but again, it's mostly opinion. IT'S ALL IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER!!!!!!!

What's with all the bashing?? Breathe fellas, it's all good. In the 40K range, the car is a beast.

No need to be comparing a Z06 or a GTR or Porsche, etc. Those cars have $$$$ tags on them.

 

I don't think you guys get it. They weren't comparing the G37 to the other cars. They were comparing the discription of "Beast" to other cars.

 

And again, your description of "Beast" is different from someone else's. When you compare cars of that caliber, price is almost always part of the equation. It's inevitable. In the 40k range, the G is a beast.

It's all good though. To him, the car is a "beast." He's coming from a Honda. And no, not an NSX.

 

Who said beastality?

 

Pfizzle's love your car...

 

That's the second time you said that. I guess that is a matter of opinion as well, because for $40,000 I could get a number of cars in the 400+ hp range instead of the low 300's.
