Funny pics there. The G35 has 260ft/lbs of torque and a .27 drag and near 50/50 weight distro, RWD , so the car makes better use of the 260 HP than our Max does. Don't underestimate that car!

Well since Infiniti will bring the GT-R over they probably didn't want to put that kind of power in the G35 sedan. They mentioned a G35 coup that will have more HP, but as of now 255 or 260 in the G35 is still class leading.

yeah

Just got my booklet too. The car looks some what like a GS400 lexus. With weight distribution like that, that car should be a rocket. That might be my next car or if the new Maxima looks similar and is RWD.
