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.

infiniticars — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 13:34:41 +0000

My good friends at Infiniti of Coconut Creek sent me a link from NissanNews about the pricing on the new FX.

Infiniti today announced pricing on the all-new 2009 Infiniti FX luxury crossover SUV, which goes on sale June 24 at Infiniti retailers in the United States and Canada. The all-new FX is a showcase of Infiniti’s design and technology leadership, offering exceptional levels of power, refinement, versatility and driving exhilaration.

The 2009 Infiniti FX is available in three models: FX50 AWD with a new 390-horsepower 5.0-liter 32-valve DOHC V8 engine Variable Valve Event & Lift (VVEL), and the FX35 AWD and FX35 RWD with a 303-horsepower 24-valve DOHC 3.5-liter V6. Each engine is paired with a new, standard 7-speed automatic transmission featuring Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) and available solid magnesium paddle shifters.

The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)* of each model is:

· $40,950 for the FX35 RWD

· $42,350 for the FX35 AWD

· $56,700 for the FX50 AWD

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.

Inside, the new FX interior provides a warm, modern, inviting environment highlighted by a driver-oriented cockpit with intuitive controls, available sport seating and advanced audio, navigation and technology – ranging from an 11-speaker Bose^â-developed audio system to Infiniti Intelligent Key, available Intelligent Cruise Control (Full Speed Range) and available Around View Monitor system.

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. Also available is Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA), which provides forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking, along with a Lane Departure Warning/Lane Departure Prevention system, which helps keep the vehicle in its travel lane.

2009 Infiniti FX equipment packages include the Technology Package, Infiniti Mobile Entertainment Package, Premium Package, Navigation Package, Deluxe Touring Package, Sport Package and 21-inch Summer Tires.

“The new Infiniti FX is a technology tour de force, with a number of advanced systems designed to enhance the driving experience,” said Mark Igo, vice president and general manager, Infiniti Division, Nissan North America, Inc. “With its newly designed 5.0-liter V8, the new FX50 model is one of the most exciting performers in its class, while the FX35 continues to offer a unique balance of style, luxury, utility and driving pleasure.”

Infiniti G37 Quartermile Times

infiniticars — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 20:26:59 +0000

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 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…
