Motor Trend did a comparison between the 2007 G35 sedan and the 330i BMW... I don't really care about the comparison but was interested in the performance #'s the G35 put up

0-60 = 5.4
1/4 = 14.0

Makes you wonder what this new engine will do in a 350z... I bet it will be close to the STI/EVO's performance #'s

 

Thats the same performance numbers as the 287hp Z's...

 

True but the 287 HP in the G35 sedan was 0-60 = 5.8 and 1/4 = 14.4...

 

Weird... I saw 5.2 in another review.

Remember, the 07 sedan is using the VQ35HR (3.5 litters).

But the 2008 G35 coupe and 350z are rumoured to get a 3.7 Litter engine producing around 320-330 HP.

The sedan will never put up numbers like the coupe does


The 2006 350z MT 0-60 #'s are usually around 5.4-5.6



.

 

wouldnt it be a 370z than lol

 

You better hope not... that would sound terrible

 

Wow wait a minute.

The G35 SEDAN didnt hit 60 until a bit over 6 seconds

This means the new sedan will be almost 1 second faster...thats pretty amazing considering its a sedan.

Imagine if the G coupe/ Z hit 60 in 1 full less second?

 

What's the curb weight, and did they make any comparison between the old and new in terms of drivability and response?

 

The 6MT sedan was able to hit 60 in 5.8, the Automatic was like 6 seconds.. I'm just guessing but I bet the 350z with this engine could hit 60 in 5 seconds flat maybe even 4.9.... would put it in EVO/STI territory

Somone scaned the article, soon as I find it again ill post the link to it..


Here it is..

Keep in mind to that the tests were done with a brand new car only 200 miles on it, where as the BMW had almost 3000 miles.. Wait until the engine has broken in and it should be a tick faster

 

Curb weight for the 07 sedan 6MT is said to be around ~3480


The all wheel drive version is much heavier at around 3650

 

The Magazine shows the curb weight for the 07 6MT sedan at 3604, it's gain couple hundred lbs... Weighs as much as the 350z Roadster....

 

they need to make an AWD g35 coupe.... same engine but half the price of the new GTR... and hopefully a little lighter? but i doubt it will come out... full skyline GTR plans in effect

 

I saw roadster weight went up alot anyone know why?

 

Thats not for the 6MT... and if they actually did say that much, they are wrong. Infiniti has officially said the 07 6MT would be slightly lighter. So the numbers you state dont add up

 

why not the 370Z?

The original 240Z was later bumped in displacement to 2.6L for the 260Z and then to the 2.8L for the 280Z; they just kept changing the name to match the motor. If they don't change the name to 370Z, then they'll instantly break the connection with the 350Z, 3.5L issue.

 

i think a 14 flat is not bad for that weight.
