20" wheels make for a LOT of rotational inertia.

I came from a 350Z as well and, at least via magazine racing, this is faster in a straight line. It's a lot smoother and quieter so it's much less dramatic while accelerating. I haven't autocrossed it yet so I'm not sure how well it handles in comparison.

 

fast enough for me...sometimes a little too fast for regular daily driving

 

It has to be the quickest or for sure one of the quickest 4 door sedans in it's price range. Now if you want a 500 hp Mercedes AMG you are going to have to pay a bunch more money.

Is it fast? Compared to my modified 911 turbo HECK NO, but for a four door sedan yes it is fast.

 

i agree to a certain extent... i mean when i took the test drive i was blown away -- literally.. then i took delivery, babied it for 1200 miles and then broke the seal.. i mean this baby could boogie and i loved it... now i'm at 7600 miles and there are times where i'm just not feeling it, but i look down and i'm doing 80 when i was just at a red light..... the point is i'm getting "used" to that feeling i used to get when i accelerated... but the speed is definitely still there... stop driving the car for a few weeks, maybe even a month, and then get back in the drivers seat, i bet you'll feel like you just took the first test drive

 

HAHAHAHA YEA!!!!

 

its ok.. i was able to get a 14.0 1/4 mile time.. im sure I coudl get a high 13 if i get teh right jump...

I leased my for 24 months..

Next car will have to have atleast 400hp... i want to go faster!!!

 

I think the car in itself is not slow... but the way it comes across it feels heavy which gives impression that its slow. I have driven my friends 06 3-series... and it definitely feels a lot lighter then the G... but when you look at the official weights they are about the same.

 

it's all a matter of perspective, i spent yesterday driving a friends '93 sixty special, (and his gf's '81 camero). my "slowest of the g's" feels damn fast in comparison (actually is too...).

 

Drove one of the sedan yesterday and all i can say is that this car is quick! Fell in love with it and never had second thoughts of giving up my FX.. got the same one i drove
