My Dad owned a (I think it was 3.8) Olds 98 with a SC from the factory. It was big and heavy. Im sure it went 0-60 faster than my Mustang.

Is that like the engine your talking about?

And still behind other engines in its class.

Nissan has the 3.5L with 306hp in the 350Z abnd other cars, and the 3.7L 330hp in the Infinity G37 Coupe. I'm not sure what else they use the 3.7L 330hp engine in.

A local board member took an 07 4 door Infinity G35 sport luxo-boat with the 3.5L 306hp version to a flat 14sec pass at Beech Bend in June heat.

So lets just say if I were in the market for a fun V6 car, a Ford wouldn't be on the list.

306 HP and a 14 second pass isn't exactly what I would call good.

Chris when you getting retuned man?

Do you have any clue what an Infinity G35 is? I'll tell you, it's a 4 door car, not a muscle car.

The fact that a heavy 4 door jap car with a smaller motor (3.5L V6), runs flat 14's in June heat, and makes more HP than the current Mustang GT and runs with stock pre-05 GT's is good enough to for me to like it. Heck, some of the 05+ GT's I ran with on the same day were 13.6-13.7 cars some stock and I think one had something like a CAI, but to say a flat 14sec run in a 4door V6 family car isn't good is BS.

I'm not a jap car fan, but you just can't deny these cars are making good power when they run #'s like that stock in heavy family cars.

Here is another heavy 4 door vehicle I seen run a flat 14sec pass. Now he's done a couple bolt-ons and is running 12.9's!

Unfortunately, it was the only run I didn't get on video, as my camera man had to leave early. The truck has very basic mods, which consist of a homebuilt CAI, stock exhaust with a cutout, e-fans, custom tune, tranny cooler, Yank 3600 converter, and worn out 17" Nitto drag radials. Anyways, here's my slips from today, a close-up of the one that counts, and a vid of the next fastest pass of the day.

The infinity pic so you know what an Infinity G35 Sport looks like. The black one ran th exact same ET side by side with the white one, but I can't find the pics on my local board. These are pics of the white and black one I seen do the flat 14's though. He changed rims one the white one.

Wait the G35 IS meant for performance tho

"Sport" yes, but it's still a 4 door family car. I think it has suspension upgrades and a 6 speed instead of an auto like the regular G35, but that's about it.

We can argue the BS all day long, about "sport" etc etc ect, but this is a heavy 4 door car with a 3.5L V6. I mean C'mon, what did your car run bone stock?

Wasn't the 99-04 GT rated to run 14.1's? 96-98 GT's were lucky to be in the 14's, but stock auto cars were 15's.

A 05-07 GT is barely faster than the G35 sport stock v/s stock.

I am not taking up for jap cars, but just posting facts. I hate how close on our heels they are. But I'll never own anything else than american muscle cars.

[RALVAREZ26]

infiniti are pretty fast but they are not that heavy like you think, the '05 infiniti G35 comes w/ 280hp/270 ft.lbs. and weigh 3498 curb weight and the '05 ford mustang gt comes w/ 300hp/315 ft.lbs. and weigh 3450 curb weight! i'm like you JohnC i wont buy foreign shit i buy AMERICAN!

3.5L = 306hp
3.7L = 330hp

Yeah, I was pretty sick when I seen the G35 sport go flat 14's stock, and a TBSS SUV go 14 flat stock.

350Z = 3.5L V6 with 306hp
Infinity G35 Sport = 3.5L V6 with 306hp
Infinity G37 Coupe = 3.7L V6 with 330hp
Infinity M45 = 4.5L V8 with 325hp 336tq
