Maybe the quicker launches were due to the softer rear suspension. A softer rear will squat easier and allow for a harder launch
If you have a sports suspension, like my 03.5 has, you get the same setup as the coupe, except it's an inch taller. Also, torque braking eliminates the squat by pre-loading the driveline and forcing the back end of the car to squat before the timer starts.

Edit: That day at Englishtown was great. Still chuckling about the Z that launched ahead of me that I pulled hard on in my 4 door and beat by half a second. He wouldn't even look at me LOL.

As discussed on 6MT, I can't get over all the coupes that mess with me in my "grocery go getter." Apparently haven't done their home work. I think it's great that the number of doors finally don't make a difference in straight line performance. One of the main reasons the M5 has been one of my favorites for so long. Not a huge fan of BMW, but love the idea of what the M5 has brought to the table since it was the original 6 speed 540 IL.

All I can say is keep it up Infiniti, keep giving us fun in four doors.

There used to be a 4 door M3 also. Now back to the regularly scheduled programming.
