To be honest, it's going to be all of the board. Somewhere in 6 second range would be my guess, based on various magazine tests, and my own stop watch, using the semi-accurate speedo.
I think once these cars break in, they get quicker, so it will also depend on many miles are on the old odometer.
I believe Motortrend saw 0-60 in 6.5 seconds.
Automobile saw the G35x do 60 in around 7.2.
A really good number to look at is the trap speed a car can achieve in the quarter mile- Take that speed and consider the weight of the car, you'll get a great idea of how much power a car is really making.
Many cars are slow off the line, but are flying through the quarter-

the X weighs a few hundred extra pounds... that'll make a huge difference.
i have an '06 5AT sedan. can't say i have any conclusive measurements but it's definitely more than 5 seconds and definitely less than 7. 6-6.5 sounds just about right. has some real pickup and definitely feels faster than an auto coupe.

0-60 for the 06 5AT is somewhere between "plaid" and "ludicrous " speed
Seriously though, it's going to be anywhere from lower 6s to higher 5s assuming you brake stall the torque converter a bit. My 03's 14.3 1/4 mile equates to around 5.6-5.7 seconds according to the cars that pull off 14.3s in the mags and the 0-60 calculators that use 1/8 mile ET/MPH. I think it's safe to say any 03-06 RWD 5AT sedan can get these numbers.

Depends on where you look. This site has #1 and #2 a little whacked, but the rest look pretty reasonable. Has the x 1/2 sec slower, not a full sec, which makes sense to me.

When you say brake stall the torque conveter do you just mean apply the brakes a bit before launching. I'm assuming this what you mean.

You have your left foot on the brake while your right foot is on the gas pedal xx amount. When you launch you take your foot off the brake pedal. Faster launches. Brake Torquing is the term or Flashing the torque convertor

The 05 auto sedans should have no trouble running 0 to 60 in the 5.6 to 5.9 range.

IIRC no automatic G35 has ever had a published performance test with a 0-60 result that fast. The manual cars are in that range with the autos usually in the low to mid 6's.
