G37x Sedan?

CrownR426 · 02-13-2011, 04:02 PM

oh and btw, I was reading and I found that the G37XS is being released sometime late summer.

I'm pretty sure G37XS has been available for a long time now.

Probably more wider car, slower, weaker.
Only advantage I see is during winter time for snow.
Price range for a G37x new is like mid 40-50k
Used is probably 30-40.
I would rather keep my car and not lose in trade.
Unless payments are getting bad, I would then switch over to the mustang gt or an evo10mr.

The 05 CTSV only has 400hp, it's not the new SCed one.

I bought the V at a good discount used 2 years ago but the problem is that it is just a typical American car build quality. Once they hit 60k miles things just start coming apart on them. I also own a 2011 STi so in terms of power I'm good there. Once we do some tuning I'll be at about 300ish AWHP on that and it's much lighter than the caddy.

I've seen quite a few 09 G37x cars in the 26-30k range with under 30k miles on them.

Still shopin around though.

I'd stick with your plan and go for the G37x. Since you already have something that's for power and sport,why not keep the luxury and get Japanese reliability instead of your American car woes.I've driven my grandfather's G37x before and I must say this car is pretty nice.Inside feels very comfortable and the seats were something I really love about it.Good luck with everything.

Turns out we finally tracked down what was causing the vibration in the caddy. She is smooth now.

Nice, what was it?

When I bought it it had bad motor mounts. So as we all are want to do, why replace with stock when there are "upgraded" ones out there. I put in UUC Poly motor and trans mounts. This made things better but it still had a vibration. Next was a crank pulley wobble, so we thought "well that must be it". So we replaced the crank pulley. Still vibing.

Next we figured that it must be the 58lb dual mass flywheel. So it was a 28lb LS7 (Vette) flywheel, clutch, slave cylinder that went in. The original flyhweel had 1/4" rotational and 1/8" play of the 2nd mass. That MUST be it!

Vibe is still there but better. Ok, let's take out the poly motor mounts. Took them out replaced with new OEM ones. Got better but still not perfect.

Finally as a last resort I said let's put an OEM trans mount in. Sure enough when that came out the poly between the 2 plates was squished so it was basically transmitting all the vibes right to the chassis. This is the bad thing when your car is a relatively rare car with a lot of the aftermarket items being only small batches. Quality Control is off so the parts aren't always 100%.

The car is smooth as silk now!

Mind you owning a shop, it takes months to make any changes to my own cars so it took almost 2 years from when we started working on the car to do all these fixes.
