now i know everyone hear is talking about the old G35's....b/c i dont know if you have seen the new ones

but the 07' G35 sedan is 309hp, runs 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, last time i checked that 1/2 a second faster than a GT. its also a mid-engine, w/ even 50-50 weight distribution during acceration.

jsut wait til may, 07' Coupe comes out, 330hp mid-engine, that should be running 0-60 right at 4 seconds
i believe they are going to get one as a demo, retune it for 93 octane, throw 2 cai's on it (yes it has 2), open up the throttle body a bit, throw on a complete exhust kit and see what kinda horsepower it can make

Whoa a 309 bhp vehicle that weighs in at 3500ish pounds will never do 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. Unless it can rev to 10,000 rpm and is running a 4.88:1 rear end, and then only if you get traction (which it doesn't and wouldn't). That or the G35 sedan is severly underrated....like it is really making well over 400 bhp instead of 309 bhp. And you think the 330 hp coupe will do it in 4 flat!? There are more powerful that weigh as little or less than a G35 coupthat can't pull a 4 flat 0-60mph.

Explain to me how the G35 sedanis a mid-engine vehicle too?A mid engine vehicle has the engine between the front and rear axles by definition, sorry but the G35 sedanis front engine. I mean it is a SEDAN, there is no place for a mid-engine setup. Furthermore the ideal weight distribution for a mid engine vehicle is not 50/50. More like 43/57 front-rear distribution, like F1 cars, the Ford GT, and Ferrari F360 which are all true mid-engine vehicles and incidentally have that distribution.

Put some 4:10's or 4:30's in the V6 and have a go at him (with a CAI and tune - you might make it interesting).

RE: 07 V6 vs Inifinit G35 coupe

it says 306, but if you read car and drivers review it talks about how under accereration it actually achieves more boost giving it 3-4 more hp....i dont really understand how that helps...but yeah
