I think the G37 IPL is a nice car! I could see myself getting this too, if I needed something more practical...

So you're like 90?

Now now, we all know the limitation of IPL..but no need to bash it just because its got a body kit that looks 1998. :D ;)

True enough, the G37 IPL reminds me of excessive use of body cladding, like what GM did in the late 90's with their cars.

So deafening on certain roads, mainly concrete, that I couldn't hear my radio .Im alot older than most you fellows;) so things like that do become bothersome.

Got a great deal for i,t 200 bucks below invoice. Sales guy says their not selling. I think is because people have missed the whole marketing of this car. The price was the main reason I bought it. 10,000 less than a comparable BMW 335I. Its got plenty of performance for me plus there will be only 400 of them made. It may not suit you young guys but for myself is perfect. Pick it up Tuesday :happydance:

Me coming from an 09 G37s fully loaded and downgrading to a base+sport Z for the reason of needing a little more performance. I cant see how u can justify spending an extra 6k for red leather, slightly harder springs, slightly better paint and infinitized nismo wheels. In all due honesty is exactly what the G37 should have been from jump. With a 112in wheelbase, I would expect these kinds of features at its 46k pricepoint. I hope you got a much better deal than MSRP?

AS FAR AS ROAD NOISE...
Dude giimmie a break, some continental dws or hankook ventus low profile es4's woulda killed most your problems and dynamat woulda eliminated the issue, all for less than $900.
To each his own though.

UR GETTING TOO OLD?
Sounds like you don't want to let go of your midlife crisis and you should really be in a Cadillac DTS, not an infiniti. 10 more years, I give you before you trade in for Acces-a-ride. Lol

All in all.. the G is a great car. I've owned 2, and a ipl at 45k I would consider since I only paid under 39k for my loaded G37s. Have fun in your G.

When you young bucks were crappin in your diapers I was riding high performance Sport bikes. You want Balls? Try 120 mph on a public road inches away from some guys rear fender. Ive had more close calls then most of you will ever experience So I earned the right to drive an Ole Man's car.

You that live in the Bay area know what I,m talking about, The Sunday Morning Ride, and Skyline Blvd. :stirthepot:

I'm coming up on 69 and the 370Z is my fourth Z. My last Z, that I sold in order to make room for the new one, was a 300ZX Twin Turbo with aftermarket tweaks. Yes, I am starting to slow down. I actually test drove a G37, but just couldn't pull the trigger.

I'm looking to get my handicap tag (VA Disability Rating) so I don't have to park the Z near all these f*cktards....but I'm not that old.

Hmm interesting, sounds more like young and dumb to me but thats ok its easy to confuse luck and earned right I guess. :rolleyes: I ride sports bikes too, I guess that means I've earned something appearently? I hear dodge has a new mini van that has almost 300 hp, how about a test drive. :tup:

Enjoy the new ride softy...:stirthepot: I will give you credit for at least sticking with a 2 door and not buying a mustang.

What do you consider keeping up? Dont get me wrong its not slow at all, but I think you might be a little dissapointed when you put your right foot down, compared to your Z.

Not really... they feel about the same on the throttle. Its in the turns you feel the difference. Actually the G is more stable at speeds over 100mph. The Z feels more natural in the complicated twists.

The engine is supposed to have a special "tune" and high flow exhaust with monster exhaust tips to make 348-350 HP.

So yes, pretty much a Nismo in G37 version but they all it IPL.. IMO its all cheesy and lame. Infiniti needs to wake up and really compete. No BS. How about an E92 M3 equivalent car?

S tune pads on the brakes. That's all.

I prefer the G35 looks over the G37.

Thank god I can still get it up
