Can anyone tell me if the 07 automatic version will have this new motor in it? The 06 auto had the 05 motor still in it, (more torque
I read the whole thread and if this info is elsewhere then I am sorry but I can't find this info at all.
Thanks, Jay

Hmm, that is swell, and considerably quicker than the last G35 we tested (0 to 60 in 5.9 seconds and the quarter in 14.6 at 98 mph) as well as just a blink behind the IS350. More impressive still, our G35 tester went to the track with fewer than 250 miles on the odo. That’s like putting an Olympic sprinter in the starting blocks in his street clothes. What’ll it do with a proper break-in? We look forward to finding out."
"Speaking of weight, like almost all new cars, the G35 scales in a little heavier than the previous edition. Infiniti says 48 pounds and lists curb weight at 3532. In our comparo a year ago, the G35 weighed 3520, and this similarly equipped ’07 version ran our needle up to 3583."

Z with a few hundred less pounds equals = ??
I wonder how this engine will feel in the Z compared to the G? This engine is so smooth in the G. If the times are true it's faster than the Z, but it feels not as violent in doing it.

I'm sure this doesn't really work... at all..., but if you do a direct power to weight ratio comparison, and then multiply to the 2007 G's time, the results are, in the words of Borat : VERREH NIIIICE!
2007 G35 power to weight = (306/1625kg) = 188.308 hp/tonne
Assuming the 2007 Z weighs the same as the 2006 (1514kg),
the 2007's power to weight = 202.114
188.308/202.114 = .9317 . . .
(also assuming old Z 1/4 mile time of 13.9)
.9317 x 13.9 = 12.95 seconds for the 2007 Z. Which is amazing, so it's probably wrong =)
If you account for the G's weight gain (50lbs) and give it to the 2007 Z,
the PWR = 199.089 and corresponding 1/4 mile time = 13.14 seconds which actually seems very likely, given the G's gain of .7 seconds.
I guess we'll see if my sh*tty math is any where close to being right in a couple months...
