Traded my 09 370Z for G37IPL

moondoggy · 05-15-2011, 09:48 AM

I'm 59 The latest C/D May issue has a comparison test with the new series 1M,TTRS, and the IPL
According to the results the IPL had the best steering and was able to keep up with the other two cars. I,d say that's pretty good company to keep with. It really is a outstanding car
Sort of a wolf in sheep's clothes.

What do you consider keeping up? Dont get me wrong its not slow at all, but I think you might be a little dissapointed when you put your right foot down, compared to your Z.

He pretty much bought the equivalent of a Nismo 370z in G37 form. The difference in speed and acceleration is really not going to be a big of a difference to the point of where he'll be disappointed compared to the Z.

I thought it was just cosmetics on the IPL? Or am I thinking of something else? I have early Alzheimers, so I need a lot of help these days.

Mainly cosmetics yes but they are all "strategically" done for best aerodynamics. Newer rims and tires I believe and better brakes as well. It has stiffer springs but softer dampening to make the car handle better but stay comfortable at the same time. The engine is supposed to have a special "tune" and high flow exhaust with monster exhaust tips to make 348-350 HP.

So yes, pretty much a Nismo in G37 version but they all it IPL.. IMO its all cheesy and lame. Infiniti needs to wake up and really compete. No BS. How about an E92 M3 equivalent car?

S tune pads on the brakes. That's all.

I prefer the G35 looks over the G37.

I agree. At the end of that comparison the IPL finished last and had the lowest performance numbers (If I remember correctly)...They said it was a G37 with "Chin Implants"...Would have gotten the 335is

Not really... they feel about the same on the throttle. Its in the turns you feel the difference. Actually the G is more stable at speeds over 100mph. The Z feels more natural in the complicated twists.

Hate to break it to you but the IPL can not keep up with the TTRS or 1M...

I have to say that I love the G37 but really don't like the looks or cost v performance stats on the IPL. What exactly drew you to the car?
