Curious what the final drive ratio is for the G35

It is not in the brochure and I have not seen any posts listing what it is. Kind of strange in that the final drive number really affects how responsive the car will feel at various speeds. My guess is around 3.15 for the 6 spd but I don't have the slightest idea. Any body know.

An exeption is the X - which I believe has a F/D of about 3.5:1.

Then you must correct for tire rolling diameter variations with size, inflation pressure and load.............to normalize to 12 " to get to absolute ratio.

FOR AT: 0.834 x 3.357= 2.799738 x [tire rolling diameter [center of wheel [axle shaft] from the ground]]]. ..............tires revs per mile vs engine rpm
