where did you get the coupe co? because the sedan is .26
I actually read that. I'll see if I can find where I got that from.
would have no qualms buying an Infiniti. I'm kinda looking foward to the M45...since I know what CAN be done to the car...definitely not a looker when stock
I would not get one, Infiniti's image=snoore, sleep, zzzzzz.

I WOULD HAVE NO problem buying a GT-R, badged Nissan (I'd prefer) or Infiniti.

M45 is faster than GS430. 0-60 (M45) 5.7sec. Not bad at all... but hell of a ugly car!!! The car looks so outdated! And whats up with the interior, it's identical to the Q?

That 5.7 time is Infiniti's estimate. The first magazine to test it got a 6.7 and then a 6.2. We all know how Infiniti's estimates are!

It starts at 43k but it is 48k loaded. For 43k, I wonder if it will ruffle Benz/BMW/Lexus 6 cylinder feathers...

Default Forget about the G35 How about the IS430

Forget about the G35!!! How about the 300+HP IS430 in the Nov issue of Car & Driver Mag? With the possible 400+ HP supercharge V8...

Well, ROad and Track got a 0-60 run for the AUTOMATIC G35 sedan of 6.2 seconds. They just tested the 6-SPEED PERFORMANCE model G35, 0-60 in 6.1 seconds.

Again
Auto 6.2
Manual 6.1

Any questions?

Default Raced a new Z (kinda)

Yesterday.

Pull up to a red light behind a shiny new gold Z, no plates yet.
The light turns green, this dude is like barely moving. I'm like WTF?
Pull real close on his bumber and he Takes OFF.
I WOT at around 30mph, he not pulling ahead and I'm not pulling ahead. We went like from 30 to 90 and it looked dead even.
He made a left on the next light. I want to go AGAIN!~

If anything I think that the Z would be able to pull away.
270HP in that little car?

287hp. 0-60 in 5.5 or 5.6 with a MANUAL. The automatic may make it a 6 second car.

Wait a minute, 1Sick! You posted in that other thread about how the G35 is only 1/10th faster with a stick. Why would the 350 be so much faster?

Z is lighter. Z has "expectations" to live up to . I saw a new Z on the highway, dude did not want to run though.

The last 300ZX TT got a 0-60 in 5.0 sec, with 13 more h.p. and more weight.

I have been following the release of this car because I had one on order, until I changed my mind and decided to go with the SC430.
