My God I love this car!!!!!

No idea what it is specifically about my G37x that I love so much. I got it toward the middle of June and have been driving like crazy ever since.

Took my girlfriend to Cape Cod in it. What a machine. Just about damn near perfect. Speed, performance, control, it just works on every level. Even at work I just can't wait to get back in the thing. Not to get home... just to DRIVE.

yes I have to agree with you. Besides the fact I can't have wider tires in the rear and need to build a wheel for staggered (although tires still not wide), this car is perfect. That is very minor in the grand scheme of things.

My overall rating A+

Well I had a 3000 GT a 5 Series and Camry haha.

This car is like a mix of the 3000 and the 5 . . . . except without the detractors of both.

3000GT SL to a G37 is a huge upgrade... A VR-4 is a different story.

300/320hp vs 330hp
TT3.0 vs na 3.7
7000 vs 7500
AWD vs RWD
3750 vs 3750
6MT vs 6MT/5AT/7AT

I was so close to a VR-4 Mike. Very close to leasing one....the way the rear spoiler electronically adjusted to speed to make the car more aerodynamic was awesome.

Glad I didn't. I think the 3000 was just too heavy a sports car. Too wide in my opinion as well. But it looked and drove great on a straight away.

I recall in my early years taking that 3000 up over 125 miles per hour on a straight away and it felt as if the car was going to start flying. But man did that car have the greatest stereo ever. I forget the specs but it was a Nakamichi stereo with surround sound I have yet to hear again in another car. The sound stage was unreal.

Nevertheless, it didn't have the handling of my G. I swear my car anticipates curves (and has nice ones of its own).

The AWD G you have isn't any lighter. It is actually heavier than the VR-4 However, 18 years of additional suspension development works wonders....

I seriously wonder how my VR-4 would have handled with a well tuned set of Motons...

IMO, the G's chassis is far superior as well, and considering the VR-4 cost 15 years ago the same amount as the G today... a lot of progress has been made

Glad you like the car
