Mine is a 5AT and it gets to 60 much faster than that.

and of course I know that the car accelerates slowly - that`s why i`ve posted this topic. and i cannot find the problem. also in my location i cannot compare acceleration speed with other vehicle of the same type.
by the way what is your time for 0 to 60 mph?

my location is the town in the midpart of Russia 400 miles east from Moscow. So I got the nearest official Infiniti service in 150 miles & the same distance divides me from any other infiniti coupe))) cause it`s very rear vehicle in my country.
will drive there this weekend

The the original poster, it's already been stated that you should brake torque the launch. You state that you launching from 0rpm. Your car is developing *zero* torque. That's the primary reason its so slow. From the video, it doesn't look like the acceleration from 30 to 60 is all that bad.
Question: when you go full throttle, are the rear tires spinning at all?

no, I never tried to launch the car holding the gas & brake pedal simultaneously & then braking off. I know it`s faster but it may destroy the automatic transmission, isn`t it?
answer your question: sometimes they spin over when launching first second at 2-2,5 rpm - as in the first video http://ru.youtube.com/watch?v=nobqmR_rdg4sometimes they don`t - as in my second video http://ru.youtube.com/watch?v=nobqmR_rdg4
