I found this forum entertaining on MotorTrend.com.

I can only take it in small doses. It'f funny for a few posts then it just becomes frustration that so many people are ignorant and stupid. Then again, that's the case with many forums. There will usually be a few people who know what they're talking about, like that jaws guys, but then the idiots drown them out.

that whole thread was retarded. My IQ dropped 5 points after reading all three pages, and I can't afford to lose any more. I want some free easter oil for my troubles, and all samples of all other seasonal/religous oils that Nissan produces. (whoops - that was from this thread: https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-sed...e-service.html)
Anyway, that MT car was ringer. I've **never** heard of a G37 getting those kinds of numbers - all the other mags have it at 5.2-5.8, 13.7-14.xx. So the MT car was an anomaly, as far as I'm concerned. This has been discussed on other forums, and they seem to point to a lot of discrepancies in MT's testing procedures.

I just read threads like that for kicks.
My favorite part of the thread.......
Nissan has a strong tendancy to lie about their power output.................
Please Neil Z... you right.
When Titan bring to market with 5.6 liter V8 and 305 hp, manny magazines say that number is underrated.
The same thing with the 3.8 V6 biturbo of GT-R. Some magazine (Motortrend) say it has al least 510 hp...
In other hand, GM and Ford always say their engines has more power that it has. Like the 1.8 liter 140 hp in the Chevy Cruze, even with a six speed trany, feels slower that a Tiida.
About the primary question, i think is problem with suspension settings. The 300C and Charger has Mercedes E platform, the engine is great, looks great... but still bit the dust...
Did you learn english from MTV or something? Jesus.
