Initial G

I know that heavier cars take a second to get going. I do not intend to quarter mile or have stoplight races. However, i do care about top end power
. Spirited highway driving is always fun. Now that we have seen some statistics, can someone put them into perspective for me? The 37 isnt a rocket ship off the lineup but how hard is it going to pull up top? Comparable to which cars? The is350 is a monster on the highway. Ive seen it pull on the M3.

was the is350 stock? bc the m3 has about 333 hp wit 262 torque i believe
and the is350 has 302-306hp with 277 torque

Passing power on the 37 was about the same as the 335 in teh tests that I saw if i rememebr correctly. A couple of high flow air filters should give you an even better result up top.

Don't you mean exhaust? Air filters have a better impact on take off. I've run the altima w/ just exhaust and just intake and both. My take was intake = low end, exhaust = high end and combo both =

The G37 utilizes Ram Air as well. Adds just a few hp.

Um to my knowledge the is350 sucks up top. It has all of its power from a dig...then it slows way down up top. The is350 will pull like hell on a stock g35 from a dig, but up top 80mph+ forget about it. There is a video of a g35sedan racing a is350 on the freeway (both stock) and the g35 pulled pretty hard maybe 3+ cars. So if the reviews are right and they say there "isn't much power difference" between the 2...then i say the g37 will pull pretty hard on the freeway.

EDIT: I ment to say the IS350 is fast until about 70-80MPH after that...it dumps.

I dont approve of street racing, but here are a couple videos that kind of proove my point. You can see that the is350 stops pulling at about 80-90MPH and the g35 starts to pull.

Thanks for the link to a nice comparison. Now I know my car's strengths and weaknesses against a Lexus. Peace...

that may work too... but like jnmunsey said- the G37 has twin ram air intakes. So up top it will benefit from high flow air filters.

I think the IS350 also has a slight shorter gear ratio than the G which helps its 0-60 time.

Dude not to argue but I think you guys are forgetting that intake really means jack if the car cant exhale it out...needs exhaust imo more so for highend power than intake

bloodhound

Wat is the flashing lite inside the is350 when the camera goes to the guages...i hope the guy wasnt being a dumb a$$ and driving without a belt on....

The stock exhaust can flow more than enough air actually. Remember that you want to keep some back pressure. Without that you loose a lot of bottom end torque. So adding an air intake to the car doesn't mean that you have to add an exhaust to get the full benefit of it.

I dont think the g35 is stock in this video , we all know the stock is350 is faster then the G35 and can hit 13.5 in 1/4 mile so how come an is350 with intake is slower than the G it doesnt make sense to me :s

I am not arguing that the exhaust wont help. And we are not talking about a blistering difference. But is DOES benefit from just the intake- simple. the stock exhaust already does a fantastic job of exhaling. The G normally comes with more restrictive intakes because of the focus more on luxury. That is why most previous generation owners went with the Z Tube (350Z intake)
