@blnewt: true, but for those who havent trie dthis before please be careful, even though this car is not a 5oowhp monster, i have read more than a few threads over the years (Gen1 and 2) where ppl who tried to have fun with VDC off for the first time and ended up getting into accidents or hitting a curb etc 
Why would you f*cking do that on a public road?
Yeah, the car is nice and all, but it's not G-d's gift to the world. It's quick, but it's not THAT quick. Give it a rest already.
Speaking of the 7AT, they should of made it a 6AT with slightly taller gearing. That way, it would of been funner to drive. At certain points, if you do manual shifting, the 2nd gear, when downshifting will bounce off the rev-limiter and 3rd gear engages too low in the RPM band. Oh well, it's an auto in the end.

The OP probably hasn't driven a car w/ the performance of the G, no reason to be a buzzkill. I've driven many faster cars than the G but I can still relate to his post from the time I first drove my friends Cuda way back in the mid 70s
You never forget your first......

Yeah it's a forum and yeah, you are allowed to shoot the sh*t. It's all in fun. I just don't see the point in boasting about semi-racing a minivan on a public road. Or blatantly stating that you did 80 to 120mph lightning quick. You know what you did is unlawful, the smart thing to do is not to talk about it. If you happened to be a cocaine user, I doubt you'd write about using on any public forum. Shouldn't same logic apply when you endanger not only yourself but also other motorists?
Sorry to be buzzkill, but there are too many cars on the road to for me to try any kind of stunts. It's hard enough as it is just to get to work in rush hour traffic and having to deal with knuckle heads who are in their own world and not paying attention to the road.

You need to get some *** or something, bro. Chill out! 
The G37 is at its heart an entry-level sports car with a good degree of luxury. It's built to play, not sit around in rush hour traffic all the time. Otherwise why not just buy a Prius?

But you are not the police. And you are not a member of the staff of this forum. Let Sam, BB or Gamedog handle the situation. No need for you to chastise anyone.
