Anyone who lives at altitude will tell you that turbo>NA. I lose something like 10% of power being NA, people on here will spend thousands to gain 30hp, and I lose that much just for where I live.

 

Florida ftw

 

OK so m0re realistically would be a 5.6L V8 G Coupe at 3600lbs with VLSD, DCT, forged 20's, sport suspension with a compliant chassis and launch control. All for $50k

 

Well you've sold me, where do I sign???

 

Lets lose the oem type lsd and go with a quiafe or similar instead then I would say it is money.

 

4doorfury, as you can see from the original post above, clearly the point of this thread IS about changes we would like to have seen from Infiniti. Not sure why you are still trying to argue this point.

Another example of factory cars having a higher redline is the Infiniti G/Q itself. My N/A G37 makes max hp at 7,000rpm. The new Q50 Red Sport 400 with twin turbos makes max hp at 6,400rpm.

I don't dislike turbos. In fact, my original suggestion was to have the car be turbo since it is easier/cheaper to tune a turbo car for more hp than replace a ton of parts on an N/A car. I simply mentioned that I liked the higher redline I have in my G37S than all my previous turbo cars.

 

You simply said having a higher redline than turbo cars is nice...

That is a generic statement that I was commenting on saying that just because a car has a turbo doesn't mean it can't rev high.

I don't get what point you are trying to argue otherwise. My assumption is we are just miscommunicating due to this being via text and not an in person conversation.

And yes the original post referenced a few production cars and what infiniti would have needed to do to keep up so yes we are stating things that we would have needed to have changed to the G.

 

My point since my first post that you decided to argue with me about is that the post is about what changes we want to see Infiniti make to the car from the factory to compete with more sports luxury sedans. Thank you for finally changing your mind and agreeing with me on this in your last post.

The other point I was trying to make is that since this post is about changes we want to see Infiniti make on the car from the factory- performance factory turbo cars typically have lower redlines and make peak power lower than performance factory N/A cars. I think I have provided plenty of examples of this so let's just move on.

 

Lol you are too funny. Relax man. As I just said I wasn't really arguing with you I was saying you were taking this the wrong way and it was just miscommunication due to it being via text where emotion is more difficult to present. The ONLY point I was trying to get across is that infiniti could turbo the car and still retain the high redline you specifically enjoy. On that note, if you don't comprehend this, I am done discussing the topic.

 

I completely understand your point about the possibilities of higher rpm turbo applications. I wish you would understand my point about the realities of manufacturers producing cars with higher redlines on N/A cars compared to turbo cars. Apparently that is not going to happen, so again, let's move on.

 

VLSD? Why not a mechanical LSD?
