Motor seems a lot noisier, due to the higher revs and this might get tiresome but I really enjoyed it today.

And the convertible looks awesome in black!

More testing next week.
lol first time on a forum ?

The SUBJECT line was in regards to a G37S AT. That is what I was referring to. Didn't think it was that complicated or needed explaining.

Well going from a 1998 Toyota Sienna Mini Van to the G coupe is like driving a rocket ship so I guess it's all what you are used to. If you want that jaw dropping speed feel for relatively little bucks (compaired to a Modded Vette), get a bike. I miss my Suzuki GS750 ....hold onto the handle bars acceleration. Keep the G and get a Hayabusa (talk about mods) for your freak on.

No, not all all. I spend lots of times on forums although I don't make thousands of posts, like yourself. You must be a wealth of information!
Or is it mostly pithy little retorts like above?

Fair enough. Guess I am just worn out by keyboard commandos on different forums. Everyone is 6'6" and 350lbs online
Just here to learn and make a decision VERY soon on what vehicle to get.

The G37 is a luxury sport, it's not a race or track car.. it's a coupe that happens to be somewhat fast. The paddles are there because they make the steering wheel look nice and we all know it It's an auto tranny not a dual clutch, cut her some slack

The G37 is about being more of a full package rather than just fast. Anyone who bought the car thinking otherwise, well as the famous Ashton Kutcher says..

You've been punkd

wait, my G37 can't compete with a modded C6 ????, that's it time to sell it

I'm just messing around, nobody get mad... I know how you feel man, it is sort of disappointing when you know what a QUICK car really is. But I mean it is a very good looking coupe, fairly luxurious, and pretty peppy up top for a V6.

Before I got the G I was tossing around the idea of a used c6 z06. I drove one, and was in love... However I decided against it for a couple reasons

1) Only 2 seats, being that I am 19, I wanted the option of having more then 1 person.

2) Would have gotten fcuked on interest on a used z06, lucky if I could have gotten 7% for anything used, 0.9 on the G ftw

3)If I had an ls7 at the mercy of my right foot I would probably be in jail and a lucky police department would have an unmarked z06, would have been fun while it lasted though

4) And the insurance agent laughed at me when I told him I was considering a z06


All that said, I agree, the G is lacking in the power department, especially down low, but it is a v6 and that was to be expected. My solution, either TT or get a sportbike (I am personally waiting for the SC but considering the fact you are comparing it to a modded c6, i think TT would be the appropriate option), I have a 07 r6, which as long as I ride that once in a while I don't really mind the fact the G isn't as fast as some other things

Personally I don't get why infiniti doesn't put a stronger motor in the G, I am not saying to replace the 3.7, it is a great motor, and more then sufficient for most people in the market for this car... but why not make a g50 aslo, I got my 37 for 40,000 OTD, I would have gladly saved up 5-6 grand more for a g50...
