What's interesting to consider, too, is that a 2.5 tuned to make the same power to the wheels as a G37 would likely be faster and/or quicker than the latter mostly due to a better power curve.
Well then your comparing the already beat to death topic N/A vs. Turbo battle. There is no doubt that there is more potential for power in a turbo application vs N/A. Take a look at the 335i turbo straight 6 vs the M3 N/A v8. Of course we are just talking about power here not overall but in Infiniti's case if they were to keep the same car w/smaller engine then im sure everyone would take the less expensive one w/ more power potential.Originally Posted by soundmike
I'm sure it'll be cheaper, unless the tuners start price gouging. GTI's, for example, can get a good power bump for about $500. For about 4x as much a Stage II or III upgrade can be had. No FI i know of exists for the G that costs that little.What's interesting to consider, too, is that a 2.5 tuned to make the same power to the wheels as a G37 would likely be faster and/or quicker than the latter mostly due to a better power curve.

Not so much that there's more potential, but that it can be had for a relatively lower cost. I'm not comparing n/a vs fi specifically, it's just that until now we have yet to have a good HP:$ ratio on any type of mod for the G in n/a form. Coming out with the 2.5 just opens up a plethora of options for those really into the V36 platform.

weak... no turbo. I deff. skipping this car and juming to the 07/08 sedan.
all the weight of the G pushing with so little power... no go for me. Infiniti finally made their entry level "chick car"

guessing now, will see g25 coupe? then a G15S with a HRVQ3.7.. that would be nice.

thats disappointing, I was looking forward to the possibilities for the future G models.

A turbo six would have been more expensive than a na v6 anyway to assemble. It didn't make sense. A turbo 4 seemed more logical.

OMG Silvia, i'd worship that car, i wish if they'll release that car from Japan like they did with the GT-R35, it's one of the most beautiful and powerfull car, just having a thought about VQ25 TT engine inside it makes me drool.
Anyone knows if they're going to put the Silvia back in production line again? Would it be released to the US and rest of the world?
They're thinking of it. The z is back, the Skyline (GT) and GTR are all back so why not the Silvia. If it was a lightweight turbo 4 or 6 then I'll be the first on the list.
