numbers not much better than our cars, i guess all that extra weight is negating all the extra power from the new engine

 

the 1/4 mile numbers arent impressive at all ... i was thinking low to mid 13's for this one...

 

no way low 13s is pretty quick for our cars lol

 

Pardon my ignorance, but what accounts for the improved sound of that car (as compared to G35)? Dual intakes, higher displacement, other?

 

^^ good point. maybe all of the above. the engine is new... im sure the dual intakes add to the sound.

 

Performance looks solid. Virtually no change in the 0-60 department, but a .5 second improvement in the 1/4 mile indicates the HP increase and the improved torque curve of the new engine.

I agree, I wish Infiniti was more diligent in designing out additional weight from the coupe. A couple hundred pounds would have done wonders to the performance numbers above.

 

dude, doesnt the 07 G sedan do better in 0-60?!

better but not by much because it is 200lb+ heavier

 

Meh....

 

Can't say I like the new center console yet. If you don't get nav, do you still get a screen that shows radio, mileage and etc? If you don't, what are they expecting to replace all that real estate with? A huge plastic cubby like in the Zs? I also agree that the numbers don't seem impressive. Still getting smoked by the 335i's.

 

without nav, it will show the hvac and entertainment controls like the 07 redesigned g35 sedan.

 

that's a hot video!

 

u'll still get the monitor with car information, AC controls, and your CD/iPOD player controls.
