Right amount of power?

Just got a 2008 infinity g35 sport sedan, had for 3 weeks and for some reason I feel like something is not how it should be . Has 69k on it. Manual transmission.never owned an infinity before but I feel like theres a lack of power, how fast are my rpms suppose to move? I mean I still think it's fast, but idk, I'm going to do the spark plugs maybe those need to be done, and what is the city and freeway mpg I'm getting no more then 15 city 22 highway

Can anyone tell me to do something and I'll let you know how it goes so you get a better idea? Or should I take it to the dealer see what they say?

Wow. When I was bone stock I got 17/24. Now I am SC and I am getting 15/21. If you want you car to rev up quicker you can change 2 things on the car that can make a difference. The light weight pulley and the CF driveshaft. The pulley is about 5LB less then OEM and the CF driveshaft is 16.5 LB lighter. That will free up HP and rev up real quick.

0-60 should be around (under if you're good at MT) 6 seconds. Try that

General routine maintenance that makes a difference:

Clean MAF Sensor(s)
Change oil
Spark Plugs
O2 sensors F/R
Reset ECU, Idle Air Volume Relearn, TB Closed Position Learn, Accel Pedal Relearn
Differential Fluid
Get Alignment
Check Tire Pressure
Fix Exhaust/post MAF leaks


After that then go for performance mods, I probably missed a few things

The first and easiest thing you can try is reset your ecu using your gas pedal. I bought my car used and after I did that it made a big difference.

G35s don't make much power.

Power is voltage x current. If you're going to make a stupid joke, at least do it accurately.

Isn't there a forum rule for Infiniti owners who post questions regarding an Infinity?

What does that mean? You could be a little more accurate yourself.

It means a G35 is slower than a V6 Camry. G35s make a pathetic amount of power for how heavy they are. If you bought a G35 for power or performance, you screwed up. They are good looking cars and it pretty much ends there.
Sorry to burst your bubble.

They are actually pretty close to the same performance. Camry vs G35 really comes down to driver.
