Anyone wish G37 gained tq instead of hp?
Applies to all G37s, but since I have a sedan, I'll post it here. When Infiniti went from the 3.5 to the 3.7, hp went up 22 but torque only went up 1. 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.

And yes, 270 lbs/ft of tq is good for a N/A V6. I realize it's not a V8, it needs to rev more, so I'm adjusting my driving accordingly. I was just spoiled by the RS6's 415 tq from 1950-5600 rpms.

I got an awesome mod to get loads of torque.
............ traded the G37 for a 2009 CTS-V 551 lbs torque. Sorry, had to do it.

In all fairness, they did bump up the redline as well meaning the powerband is larger now (you spend more time there), I dont know why everyone ignores that and just looks at numbers

Anyway, it's apples to oranges. Those cars are a whole different can of worms to a G37. Compared to its actual competitors, i.e. C300, 328i, IS 350, etc., it's still the best choice, IMO.

Well that would certainly do it -lol. I test-drove a C63 and IS-F a couple weeks ago, and while the wheels of nonsense were turning in my head for a few days, crunching the numbers and all that, I realized I would right back into the maintenance hell that comes with those super sedans. A major reason I sold my RS6.

I feel we need more torque in our cars because once you get used to it, it seems to get slower and slower. this is the reason i will be Supercharging my sedan once the Still supercharger kit is released then i wouldnt mind enjoying the 340-360 ft lbs of torque (depending on how much boost is applied)
