everybody needs to stop bashing this car. It's pretty freaking great. Yeah, not many liked it when it first came out, but it has grown on most.

SpeedyG35

the car is so friggin cheap looking

Skyline-GTR

+10,000


I test drove the car. With the additional added weight and only 268 lb/ft. torque, I did not feel the "rush" when I stepped on the gas peddle. Don't get me wrong, the G37 is a great car, but it doesn't have the exhileration, the G35C had when I first test drove the car.

Light and nimble with the right amount of HP and Torque and you'll have a fun spirited car!!!!!!!

I saw the car and I thought it was ok looking. I saw the girl and then I forgot about the car.

ummm, you do know that a fully equipted g35 can weigh that much, so what you are saying probably is that the car feels more refined, and yes it's a hell of a lot faster. Even an extra 100 lbs is negated by the extra power. The stock G35 usually dyno's at the low 220's. This new car puts get 50 whp over the previous one.

School's in:

1. Stock rev-ups put down 240-245whp, not 220. A horid dyno on a sh!tty motor, non rev-up may put down 220ish. But if that's the case, you got owned...

2. My '06 G with a full tank of 93 octane weighed in at 3590lbs. That's premium package, sport package, nav, and yeah, GReddy TT, BBK, 20's, FULL interior with stock seats, blah blah blah. So even with weight from mods, less weight than the G37.

3. I test drove the new G37S, and it handles like a pig compared to my '06. It's a nice car, but apples to apples the previous gen had a perfect balance out of the factory.

School's out...

Umm I think you should stop posting because in all of your posts, you post misinformation. My base 06 6MT weighed in at 3450, (no sunroof, no navi, no premium), and 06's deff dyno in at 240-245. The new 08 is 200-230 lbs heavier than the previous gen.

it looks beautiful and shames the V35 generation in terms of elegance and refinement; think heavier Lexus style market competition sales influence

IMO of course

wrong, for one, (http://www.caranddriver.com/shortroa...-g35-6mt.html), and with options the G can be heavier than 3600. the weight ranges from the high 3400's to the low 3600's. Also the link is for the sedan which is actually lighter than the coupe. The numbers that you see in the magazines have the "curb weight" and the "as tested weight". There are way to many threads on G35driver on complaints with the weight.

don't know what dyno you used, but you can go to G35driver and find out what everbody is getting for their baseline numbers. I can pretty much guarantee you really didn't put over 240 to the wheels on a stock G. Also, in terms of weight, what else do you have on your car. I know wthe tt kit will put on around 100 extra lbs, but what else have you upgrades. These parts more than likely are lighter than the stock parts you replaced them with. Yes the G37 is lighter, but all of the reviews say the new G handles much better and is quicker than the previous one. This is all my opinion. I haven't been fortunate enough to have test driven the new G, but these were just my thoughts.

Lawd'dU,

Stop posting misinformation. Research should help

A stock G35 has NEVER weighed close to 3600. The heaviest there has ever been is probably 3535.

The V35 G35 weight, depending on the year, ranges from as low as 3369 (03 Sedan) to low 3500's.

The G37 is significantly heavier than the previous G35's.

PS. Im speaking of dry weight; meaning no driver, low gas.

I drove the G37 - granted it was a pre-production car, but the motor was the same as what’s hitting the dealers... I was less than impressed.

Is it a good car? Yes. Would I recommend to someone in the market as a first time G buyer?... probably - but would recommend the 2nd gen sedan more.

Would I trade my G or suggest any current G owner trade up/in for it? Absolutely not.

I think there is a lot of future for the new motor... I strongly believe Infiniti/Nissan is positioning for a turbo version... but this particular car - not what I would have hoped for... Infiniti has a bunch of competition that makes it hard to wow people with a less than stellar new model.

It has never looked good IMO - and the brief drive gave me enough to know it doesn't out perform to the extent I was expecting. It is a superior performing car to the predecessors... just not in an awe inspiring way. You can easily mod a NA G35 to meet performance of the G37... some may say oh yeah, great put several thousand in a previous version to compete with the new gen... well - If I were to buy a new G, I want to be damn sure no previous G is going to beat it.

That’s my humble opinion and brief review... now, where's the OPs hot chick pics???!!!

so am I. None of this is mis information on my part, just your part. do some research bud. I agree that the new G is significantly heavier, but the old G never weighed, equiped, in the low 3400's. The Sedan has always been heavier than the coupe, so if the sedan equiped can weight 3,530, how can't you imagine th G coupe weighing in, in the high 3500's if not very low (or very close to) 3600. common sense and a little logic skill gets you to this conclusion. Also, notice I never said the G35X sedan (which weighs more because of its drivetrain).

I weighed my G myself...at a truck load station. My car with a 1/4 tank of gas weighed in at 3449. My car has no sunroof, lowering weight.

I don't know where you get your information but it's not right.

1. the coupe has always been heavier than the sedan (did you mean to say this?)

2. the '03 & '04 sedan (base model - the only one I have weights for) weighed 3386 lbs; AWD 3668 lbs. CDN base model w/o premium has no sunroof + power passenger seat but all other "power equip/leather etc." Might add another 25lbs. for roof + p. seat

3. the '03 & '04 coupe weighed 3420 lbs. premium incl.

Wow, you're clueless about the stats for the G35 coupe. Thanks for reminding me why I rarely spend any time anymore on G35driver.com or in the G35 section here.

It is common knowledge all over this site and in the performance enthusiast community in general that both Z's and G coupes typically dyno between 235 and 245 whp. Too many people have dynoed their cars (including myself) and know first hand.

Skaterbasist is also correct about the dry weight of the G35 coupe. It has never weighed 3,600 pounds. The Infiniti website currently lists two weights for the 2007 G35 coupe at 3,505 for the 5AT and 3,524 pounds for the 6MT. http://www.infiniti.com/g_coupe/specifications.html

Also, only one version of the current G sedan is significantly heavier than the coupe (the G35X of course). The other trim levels all weigh about the same as the coupe (within 14 pounds in fact). http://www.infiniti.com/g_sedan/specifications.html

I suggest next time you consult the Infiniti website before making such an arrogant rebuttal.

BTW... I have seen the G37 in person a couple times on the roads out here in AZ and I still don't like the look of the G37 versus the G35. I agree with the comments about the G37 looking a bit like a Toyota Solara (especially with the sport version of the front bumper) and about the Lexus influence on the exterior styling. The overall styling of the G37 appears to be luxury > sport. It lost it's edge and sex appeal IMHO.

Yeah, he's lost on the subject, but quick to talk ****... I'm done wasting my time with him... It's unfortunate that the G35Driver forums are filled with bad information, but at the same time it's good to know that the Z boards welcome G35 owners and gear heads.

And to think Lawy'dU wants to go into law... hahah he would be awful at that.
