I tried to search the forum for info but didnt find any. Did anyone see the article for the NY autoshow a while back. I think it was the NY Times. They said the new 07-08 G35 coupes will get bumped up to 325hp. Is this correct?

 

No, the hp/tq rating has not been disclosed.

 

If I can find the article from last week I will scan an post

That is the sedan snake...shell was talkin about the coupe. I havnt heard any actual numbers on the new coupe...will be an 08 for sure though.

 

no.

 

Odds are the new G35 will have somewhere between 315-325 hp, because they want to get ahead of lexus with its 306 hp IS series. Can't wait for the new coupe to come out in Spring of '07.

 

hope they release a G45... 4.5L v8

 

The '08 Coupe is going to be Twin Turbo'd to compete with the BMW 335i

 

I heard 337 hp from gm from the dealer
but could be bull****

 

I dont understand why theres so much competition in HP, have yall seen gas priceS???

Think about a v8 or TT coupes....some people dont care about gas but its gettin high...

 

Hey I think I saw a car like yours driving down Ventura blvd yesterday - is that possible? Very few g's are blacked out that much...

 

yes I was on ventua bvld

It's simple. HP sells cars. Actually, serious performance guys focus on torque and getting as much torque as possible in the power band. Peak HP is nothing more than a marketing gimmick. If Infiniti wants to add more HP, the easiest way is to increase their redline by about 500 RPM. That would get them into the 310 - 320 HP range, but it may hurt engine reliability.

 

redline is now at 7.5k rpms, i am guessing that tq remains about same maybe 3-5lb/ft gain and hp is up to 310
