I'm a new G35 driver coming from a Lexus RX300 where I accelerated slowly considering that SUV didn't have the best acceleration.

How do you guys accelerate on your G35? I should also note my 06 is a sedan.

In my one week of owning it, I see myself bringing it to 3000rpm until it shifts to the next gear. Am i being too rough?

I want to conserve fuel and not burn it for stupid accelerations.

Just curious. Thanks guys!

 

if you give it too little of gas you will get worse MPG, 3k RPM is fine to get up to.

Also dont forget to bring it all the way to redline sometimes live a little

 

I accelerate by pushing my foot to the concrete. lol

 

i bring it to about 2500 for daily driving. exhaust is too loud and ppl think im trying to race them lol

 

Mines an auto so I let the car do all that thinking... But when I throw it in manu mode I usually go to3.5 or so, just for funzees

 

Around town I shift around 2-2.5k. I don't see the point of racing to the next light.

But I do hit high rpms here and there daily; nothing bad will happen if the car is in proper operating temperature.

 

^I do the same.

At about 2750-2800 rpm's the rasp and loudness start to kick in from the straight pipes and glass packs...

 

I drive by "feel".

 

Pushing my right foot downward does the trick

 

^^ lol...
I agree.

 

The best responce^^^

 

You go in MM just to hit 3.5 lol

 

typically with the gas pedal...

 

try to keep it under 3000 RPM just to save gas.. but hard doing that with 298 horses under the hood!

 

I back off when I can feel the intake valves with my big toe.
