Hi All,
I recently picked up a 2010 G37XS sedan in Vivid Red with 65K to replace my nearly 200K '03 Grand Marquis. I travel a lot for work so I figured the robust V6 will last a good long time. Fully plan to track day the car as I have been an avid road racer for 26 years so any advice would be appreciated for those that have tracked their AWD automatic.

Cheers,
Greg

Check out 4DRZ's build and his thread about tracking the G. TOns of great info in there with builds and products.

To sum it up: G gets hot. Need to keep it cool. = Fun.

One experience tracking mine to date. I drove in manual mode and the TCU was misbehaving a bit. It upshifted several times without input from me (not supposed to happen in manual mode) and it ignored downshift commands several times. The car did not get hot as we were tracking in the rain. At least, the temp gauge didn't indicate overheating...
