I have a confession...
 
I am not going to get a 370z... I am buying an infiniti G37S...

lol, for now at least. I will be buying a Z once I get hired in california with a police department. My other car is taking a dive on me and I found a few used G37s's for under 30G. And since this will be replacing my family car I can't justify the two seats of the Z :'(.

So tell me, what does the Z community think of the G37s? is it worth the buy?

I like Gs. They're the Z's handsome bigger cousin.

Lol well good to know. As far as tracking (I might do it every once in a blue moon) will it keep up with the Z? Cuz that's what I'm use to and would hate to feel sluggish now.

It's a little heavier but still does respectably well. Won't hold with the Z in the corners unless you bolt on some serious rubber but still plenty of fun. Same oil cooler requirements apply. Nothing wrong with the G37, had a G35 back when I needed a fun family friendly vehicle.

A coworker let me drive her G37s. I really liked it actually. Wont turn too many heads, but def a drivers car.

I like the g37 a lot. Fun car for sure.

SgtGoldy 07-25-2011 10:21 PM

Cool guys, you all got me excited now lol. Gonna save up a bit more for a bigger down payment and then I'll post up sum pics once it's all said and done. Hell I might even show up to the Orange County Z meets ;)

G37S is an awesome car! Are you getting the coupe or sedan? I would have gotten the coupe myself if my parents hadn't let me get the Z.

Good luck with the purchase man, definitely looking forward to the pics :tup:

I think the G37 is great, as long as it's a coupe. I think the sedan gives up too much looks.

MC 07-25-2011 11:12 PM

i like the G37...but would only purchase the IPL.. its got just enough extra to make it stand out

SgtGoldy 07-25-2011 11:14 PM

IPL? I'll have to google that. And yes, coupe. Like wilsonp said, it gives up too much in the looks department.

Says the guy with the 2012 GT-R Black Edition :bowrofl:

I don't think the IPL is worth the extra money, but I haven't even seen one in person. I guess if you're buying new than it's not as big of a deal, but OP was looking at a used one for under $30k so it would be a big difference in cost.

Think of it as the Nismo version of the G37. Body kit, interior, a bit of a power increase, and some suspension improvements.

lol yea, and with all my requirements (1 owner over 30yrs of age, no accidents, only minor repairs, and under 30,000miles) I'm thinking its gonna be a bit hard to find the perfect one (not too bad but not easy)
