Now, that's great for marketing and all-out driving (1/4 mile runs seem to be about .2 quicker). But I'm guessing, since I haven't owned a G before, that for everyday, not going over 4000 rpm driving, that there isn't much of a difference. So I was wondering if anyone else feels that Infiniti should have increased the tq instead of hp with the displacement increase? Just thinking out loud.

You're also comparing a 5AT to a 7AT sedan. I've driven both and I prefer my 7AT. To me there's more pull.

I think adding DI on the 3.7 would also have a better flow of torque, what do you guys think?

I think what we will see instead is a beefy 100+ kW electric motor in the next gen hybrid G. Let that motor fill in the low RPM torque, while improving MPGs also - as will be required under the new EPA regulations which begin in MY2011 and really ramp up by MY2016.

The G is a fast car already. It has tire chirping acceleration, and 7200 rpm red line to use; sure there are always faster cars out there, but the best way is to improve the nut behind the wheel.
DI is great, until you have to replace expensive fuel pump or components.

As a G and a 3 owner, I resent that statement :icon42:

My giant, lard-assed G8 GT was doing 4.9 0-60s with just a tune. IMO, the G could stand to have a little more tq down low, although
in most ways the vq37 was a step in the right direction.

............ traded the G37 for a 2009 CTS-V 551 lbs torque. :drivingskid: Sorry, had to do it.

Yeah but that's such a old man car, and when I say old I'm talking like 60's, if it had to be American I would took the new SS.

Really, do you think the car below is an old man's car? You know the average age of a G37 owner is like 50. It's all good though I'll blow by you in my old man's car.

I'd sport a CTS-V over a G any day of the week. It isn't like that's a DeVille or anything, wtf.

I would ditch the chrome wheels though, but that's just me. PC those and they'd look sick.

I would love more torque! It's ok when driving solo, but when I got the wife and 2 kids in the rear it freakin sucks.

Yeah I sti does look grandpaish, I never said it wasn't fast, you can't even copare the 2 engines, yeah the caddy is by far faster, but for that amont of money hmmm I would personally jmo into something else, don't get me wrong when it comes to American I'm a GM guy, I've owned 2 MC SS's in my lifetime and own a 64 ss that I'm rebuilding, so I Know the GM Torgue, it's just caddy does not make a sexy car. Just my opinion.

Remo101 04-23-2010 05:38 PM

ElLayG37s - your sure welcome to your opinion. Well, at least we agree that the G37 is sexy. I still love the Gs.

Also, for the money you would be hard pressed to find anything new and faster for the money.
