But I have a feeling its just this particular test that will yield such un-inspiring results.
Ii predict 13.5 @ 104 max...

...and maybe you shouldn't mag race.
in the 1/4 mile prediction thread from a while back the predictions for the g37 were from 13.0 to 13.5.......

but wanted g37 to be its own class
but bmw 335 coupe will outperform it in speed...
but g37 looks better
maybe in 2009 when I,m ready I will trade my g35
for g37

For those of you looking for more of a pure performance car, stop wasting your time with the G35/37 and go get yourself a 350Z, or the upcoming 370Z, which will have the same engine as the G37 but will weigh much less.
The G37 is not intended to be a "sports car"... it's a luxury GT/coupe.

Just for reference on people doing it better then car and driver.....
Car and driver hit 4.8 0-60 i n the 335I, no other average joe can really beat that by much.
I agree, 350z 2007 is a monster now, wait until it gets the 3.7..........All it needs now is a facelift. Only about a million 350z driving right now which look the same....Its like the mustang scenario.
