Proud owner of a new 2012 G37 XS
Bought it about 3 months ago and have been lurking here for awhile, but finally decided to take the plunge and create an account! Here are some obligatory pictures. Please excuse the crappy quality- they were taken from my cellphone.
The car is awesome, but I've already noticed, it doesn't feel as fast as it was when I got it. Then again, my previous car was a Hyundai Elantra with about 140hp. The G felt like a rocket in comparison, but I think I've just got used to the power by now. Anyone else notice this?

Welcome and congrats! Nice color and S coupes look sweetttttt.
Trying doing the ECU and you can always take it back to the dealership to see if there is something. Remember the ECU adapts to your driving methods. So if you were babying it, it will drive like one (but again you should have performance when asked).

I got mine back in may after driving a mazda 3 for 5 years so i know what you mean about it feeling like a rocket at first! I find the same as you now though. I think it has to do with getting comfortable with the power and handling of the car. It can be a little intimidating at first, especially coming from something much less performance oriented.
Have fun!
Have fun!
Congrats! There's nothing wrong with the car. You're just getting used to it. You'll find that short of going FI, you'll top out on power pretty quickly regardless of what bolt-ons you get, if any. Welcome to the club!

Yeah, I came from a Sienna minivan before the G ... you get used to it. When I lived in a colder climate I would take my Suzuki GS750 off the road for the winter. Each spring when I got it back on the road, felt like I could hardly hold onto the handle bars so it's a newness thing.
