the new 2011 M's all have a transmission drive select mode: SNOW, STANDARD, ECO, AND SPORT...

the sport mode changes the steering ratio and also the shift points, eco helps with gas mileage and keepign the RPM's low, snow changes the gas pedal and limits the amount of gas going into the motor so I don't slip as much off the line, and standard is normal driving

the sport package models have a dual piston strut which makes it smooth of a drive over bumps, even with the standard 20x9" wheels on it.

the cabin is huge compared with my G sedan and comfortable.

love the forest air climate contorl system... any abnormal smell and the air purifier sends out negative ions so the cabin always smells fresh

heated steering wheel added finally to the M's this year.

handling? I'm working on that with R&D with GTSPEC to see what parts will work on the M. You do feel the weight compared with my G sedan or coupe.

Yes i would've kept the sedan and added the JWT Twin turbo kit to it b/c I do miss my previous '06 G35 6MT Sedan... a nice hidden intercooler

I see you collected the whole Infiniti fleet. The Infiniti M is definitely the cream of the crop. Congrats.

If there is any loyal enthusiast on this forum, you are. Congrats on the M again. Even I wouldn't mind one despite that I'm biased toward heavy cars.

M37... the M56 I thought about but not mod friendly at the moment. stock M37 is capable of high 13's with the M56 about 13.1-13.2 range stock for the qt mile


yes perks of working my way up at Infiniti of Massapequa and gaining one of the top reconigized employees from corporate has its part to keep me changing cars.

but work hard, play harder
