Super bad hesitation?
Any mods address hesitation?
Car seems to be very sluggish in auto mode.
Will try testing with paddles to see if it continues, but I just expected it to be snappier.

I wouldn't say mine was ever sluggish but once I cleaned the throttle bodies it really perked up. The RHFCs sure helped a good bit also.

Especially since the G gets premium and the Max got the bottom of the line stuff...
I'm still new to the G37 so I'm not sure if that is just the way the car is or if there is something wrong with it.

I still dont know how you got beat by a G6 lol. Unless it was supercharger or turbocharged there is no way in hell that he could have won.

turn off vdc and as others said ds mode or shift manually with paddles, Why on earth you would use a g37 to race is beyond me.

It was at the track, I'd never do anything like that on a public road
Thanks for the tip on VDC, will try it out.

No way this makes sense...I have a 5.5g maxima and it does not feel or respond as good as the g37. Night and day difference.
You might want to do a ECU reset. Get a tune up and clean the air intake system.

LOL pretty sure you changed your original post stating that you were at a dead stop because of a red light....

Pretty sure auto mode or not a G37 should have beat a G6... those things are plastic pieces of junk with boat anchor V6s under the hood... I use to be able to beat them with my Trailblazer.

What were your times? That will tell for sure if your car is running like it should. You should have spanked him if he was close to stock!
