2008 g37s coupe vs. 2011 g37x sedan
So, I dropped off my 2008 g37s coupe 6mt at the dealer this morning and they gave me a 2011 g37x sedan 5at as a loaner car. I have 39,000km (24,375mi) on my coupe and there's 8000km (5000mi) on this sedan.
My question... is there something wrong with my car or are the sedans just that much faster than the coupes? This 5at sedan is a freaking rocket. My coupe doesn't feel anywhere near this fast off the line.

Sedans have a more aggressive throttle tip-in combined with lower weight. It's much worse going from a vert to a sedan, makes my car seem like it's missing a few spark plugs.

its an illusion...anything newer feels better or different only because you dont drive it everyday. Im also sure being 4 wheel drive makes it pull harder (more grip), & if im not mistaken the newer models have more torque than the 08's.

actually all wheel drive can give you the feeling that it doesn't have as much throw your head back feel...simply because its pulling from all 4 wheels...
not sure why that G37x feels faster..its true that the sedan is a lil faster than the coupe...but the difference you are talking about..not sure. lol
maybe the dealership chipped it...so it makes you wanna buy a new G and trade in the "old" one. lol

I talked to a buddy of mine who works for infiniti engine development over in Japan. He found some top secret info that the sedans have 75 more horsepower then the coupes. Glad I got the sedan....z06 fast.........lol

^^ what he said.. same engine. Differences are in the weight and gearing.
I had an 11' loaner (not an X) and It actually didn't feel any faster than my coupe. In fact it felt like my coupe pulls harder for some reason. I'm not really feeling the autotranny even in sport mode.
