Car and Driver - Surprise Speed Tournament
Infiniti FX50 vs. Ford Mustang Bullitt
Infiniti claims that the idea behind the original Infiniti FX was the concept of a “bionic cheetah.” The result was a seriously muscular SUV that, if you squinted, looked vaguely cheetah-like but was undeniably bionic in terms of its ability to go fast.
The brand-new second-generation FX is even more muscular, particularly in FX50 form, and now it can keep pace with the one of the most iconic versions of the most iconic pony car around, the 315-hp Ford Mustang Bullitt. Yep, even though the FX50 is a 4600-pound five-seater that can haul a small family to a ballet recital, its 5.0-liter V-8 pumps out 390 horsepower and 369 lb-ft, thus bestowing it with acceleration that’s truly cheetah-like.
The FX50 can match the Stang’s five-flat 0-to-60 hustle and 13.6-second quarter mile. Furthermore, it can also track true and flat in corners, so don’t think McQueen’s Mustang will lose it when the road gets twisty. In fact, add water and watch the family trickster pull far and fast away from the Ford. Sorry, Steve—you’ve been served.
Infiniti FX50 --- Ford Mustang Bullitt
0–60: 5.0 seconds --- 0–60: 5.0 seconds
1/4: 13.6 @ 104 mph --- 1/4: 13.6 @ 104 mph

I like the front end now. I didn't at first. I still need to see one in person, though.
It sure is a performer though.
