G37 wins “Best of Show” Award

One of our readers: dboy just posted this as a comment so I’ll put it up.

A while ago I posted up the new G37 with a wide-body kit that i’m sure some of you believe looks great, well dboy just sent us a link to the motor trend article of the G37 that won best of show. The car is owned by JR Rocha and is set to be featured in Gran Turismo. The car uses the factory VQ37 with two turbos from Nismo and a v-mount intercooler setup. Not too shabby says I.

Each engine is paired with a new, standard 7-speed automatic transmission featuring Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) and available solid magnesium paddle shifters.

Along with an aerodynamic, rigid yet lightweight body structure and sporty FM platform, the new FX features an extensive list of available equipment and technology, including available Continuous Damping Control (CDC)^®, Rear Active Steer, Intelligent Brake Assist and 21-inch super lightweight aluminum-alloy wheels designed by Enkei.

The new FX offers an industry-first safety technology – Distance Control Assist (DCA), which reduces the burden of driving in heavy traffic by intuitively helping to release the throttle and apply the brakes to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.

Infiniti G37 Quartermile Times

Check out http://www.dragtimes.com/Infiniti–G37-Drag-Racing.html

This has a listing of the G37 quartermile times. Apparently its around what Edmunds got which was 13.8 however two of them were in the 14’s. That’s not bad I suppose. The Infiniti M45 is in the Mid 14’s . The Infiniti FX35 runs 15’s (with the exception of the one with the Jim Wolf Turbo running 12.7). I’m sure with some nice upgrades we can see the G37 posting what modified G35’s have been doing. Perhaps a Twin Turbo G37(or dare we say, G38 ala GT-R) ???

If anybody wants to post a comment about their quartermile post it!!!

G37 Dual Fujita Intakes

Check out this video posted on youtube of a G37 with Fujita Dual Intakes, sounds very throaty, wish they would have used a 6MT instead of an automatic though..

G37 Widebody

[pictures from myG37.com]
For those of you who went to the SEMA show you might have seen this rather hideous G37. The only thing that looks a little worth taking a look at is the Seibon carbon fiber trunk and hood that will be available to G37 owners shortly. Obviously somebody rushed to be the first to make a wide body kit for it. Don’t look at it too long, you might go blind…
