Yeah, make a world of difference. How do you like the GTM transmission?

I have a built trans on my TT G35X I'm just worried about the transfer case not handling the power.

I did the mod to make it RWD 100% with a switch.

It's too late I have the G37S but that makes the x sound so much more tempting if you can switch over.






Also, what RPM's are you guys launching at and do you use traction control?

Off the line they are quick, and it nearly feels the same. Thats personal preference. Let's get down to the facts.

At the end of the day guys, its simple math. More weight, same power, plus AWD drive additional loss to the wheels. Unless the X defies the rules of physics, at first glance, it seems obvious that it could not be faster than a G37s. Research confirms:

I can cite you about 5 other professional articles if you would like - all agree that the X is anywhere from .5 to a full second slower than a RWD 6MT.

The 6MT G37S is the fastest example of a stock Infiniti G. For those of you who go on about getting good launches and bogging -learn to drive stick. I have about 20k miles on my G and long ago I figured out exactly how to launch this car. You learn the car and develop the skill. I run consistent 13.8s or better. You know your car and how to shift, and once you do - its a huge advantage, not the other way around. When I am rolling, I know exactly what gear I want to hit and how to rev match and hit it nice. It is a beautiful thing to be able to put your G exactly at the RPMS you want without AT intervention. The human driver is more intelligent than any AT, and the 6MT gearbox allows you to leverage you thoughts on gear selection as you please.

The AT sport mode is very very laggy, nearly useless. So as you smash the gas waiting for the AT to pick a gear - often not the best gear - I have already selected my gear and peak RPM. Peace.

If you are not a decent stick driver, then dont get stick.

Thanks
