Who has the most miles on their G37? Drive aggressively?
Hello everybody. I'm trying to get a good gauge on how well the VQ37VHR holds up with spirited/aggressive/redline driving over time. How many miles do you guys (Or gals) have on your G37, and how aggressively do you drive??

6k miles. Drive the hell out of it. I will say the engine seems to be rock solid but the transmission (6mt) is not the best transmission in the world. This is my 3rd manual car and my first luxury car so maybe I was expecting a little more.

Just under 11k and running great. I do a bit of aggressive driving, but not much that pushes the car the the limits. I'm just surprised my clutch has lasted this long (I wasn't the easiest on the thing since I had to learn driving stick/rev matching/etc on it).

Just over 13K and almost 1.5 years and its still running strong. I am a fairly spirited driver and have done one track event and it help up great at that. Brakes were the only thing that started to show some weakness but i upgraded to some higher temp fluid so that should help it out.

Had mine for about 13 months now, and just did the 30K check. Everything is running fine. I do have a heavy foot. I've only had it up to 138 so far but handled like 70 at 138. Great car. Love taking it on long road trips.

26k in less than a year and I beat her pretty bad. I already need new tires and probably 7 times out of 10 I shift at 5k or more.
I change my oil every 3,000miles with Mobile 1 though and it's not DIRTY DIRTY but you can see it's getting there.

Wow, thanks for the replys everybody. It looks like the general consensus is these motors hold up pretty well! I do drive pretty aggresively if it's a semi sporty car so that's good to know. I tend to hit redline quite often. I guess the only thing to really worry about would be oil consumption, but that seems like it's less of an issue than on the G35's.
