Just saw an article on G35 and that thing has 260torque and 260hp.
That is nice.
They reported that it ran 0-60 6.5 and 1/4 14.8.
Not too bad. But I thought it would ran a little bit faster.
Nice power though.
It has the same engine as the 2002 Maxima, right?

Sometimes the luxury transmissions are soooooooo soft that they limit the perfomance benchmarks of 0-60 and 1/4. However, you would see the power/tq put down in say 30-90mph romps, which is more practical in everyday driving.
Plus, it's RWD, so you lose a little more in the drivetrain and it's got to weigh more with all those goodies.
My guess is either they read SCC's article on the 2K2 Max
or it's the silky smooth transmission shifting to blame.

I bet the G35 will put out damn close numbers compared to the maxima... lets see.. 246lbs of torque and the maxima dynos at 220 something i believe.. and it translates to 280lbs of torque.. i can see it now.. new "car".. with 260hp and 280lbs of torque...

BTW, I sure hope 6.5 and 14.8 are with the AUTO tranny, otherwise those are pathetic #'s.

I can't wait to see what a 6spd does for that car

You really think the 6-speed will shave a whole second off the 0-60 time? I mean we dont even know the gear ratios for the 6-speed yet.

The 6-speed 2K2 is near 1 second faster than its auto counterpart.
So judging from Nissan's history I would say yes.

That model is only available with auto, and yes it has the same engine as a 2k2 max. The max is .5- .8 faster with a 6 speed depending on the driver....

At least I'll still be able to SmoKe my friends 2k2 G-20!
Judging from the article, the new G will be a lean & mean! I can't wait to get a good look at one from the rear... and soon thereafter, from my rearview mirror...

Plus, it's RWD, so you lose a little more in the drivetrain and it's got to weigh more with all those goodies.

I was impressed with the looks. This one was red with the sports package which included some nice 17" (only 215 wide tires) wheels. Wheel gap was acceptable. The black leather interior was some of the best leather I've seen/felt. The rear seats also have an incline feature.
The transmission was a FIVE speed auto w/manual shift option.
The car weighs just over 3300 lbs.
I'm waiting for the six speed. REAR wheel drive, 260 hp, near 50/50 weight distribution...sounds like a winner.

they didn't say anything about manaul 6sp tranny.
its pathetic that it "has" more power then the 2k2 max and it slower, why the fu*ck that thing weighs so much. more then the 2k2 maxima, its stupid. I bet also that the auto tranny on the 2k2 is much much more aggressive then that softy *** infiniti tranny that they are putting on the luxry cars.

Re: Re: Re: Just saw an article on G35 and that thing has 260torque and 260hp.
I forgot who said it but that may not be the actual torque at the crank.
Reason behind it is that the Max reaches maximum torque below the upper powerband and thus drivetrain loss is lower. The actual loss % i have no idea but if that's the logic then it's understandable why torque to the wheels looks higher than hp on the 2k2. Especially since HP maxes out at or near redline where the loss is higher.

isn't a manual tranny easier to make....i don't understand why those car companies make those crapy auto tranny no matter if its tiptronic or not....why not put a manual tranny on a sporty car. why make that complicated auto 5sp tiptronic..

The G35 will probably be FASTER than the Maxima. These are the manufacturer's specs and is probably conservative. I think everyone on the org has ran better times on the Max than what was published by Nissan and ANY car mag. The car is a little heavier but has more horsepower and torque. However, the real advantage comes from RWD and a 5 speed auto. The other good news is that this auto is the one from the Q45 which was rated to handle at a higher horsepower and torque engine.
