Traded my 09 370Z for G37IPL

nextbesthing · 05-19-2011, 11:48 AM

Good trade. The IPL is hot. I had a G37s back in 08 but I missed the "rawness" of my 350z so when the lease was up I got a 370. Now, I definitely miss the luxury of the Infiniti, although not as sporty its a pretty good balance between sport and luxury. Plus its way more age appropriate. Nice car

Congrats on the new ride.

Have fun with your new ride! Its all good! I considered the G as well before settling on the Z and I'm sure that most on this community have thought at least once about getting one as well (whether it was before or after their purchase).

Pictures when you get it would be nice! Truth be told, if give that G a little drop and put some sweet wheels on it, you're gonna be able to pick up hot young chicks in it too!

OP unless you have small kids the IPL is gonna add much, but a some sound proofing. Adults can't really fit in the backseats and the added weight takes away from driving dynamics.

Plus IPL are for whimps.

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 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?

Yes, it's a wonder you did not write a letter to ak370z and send it via USPS so he could perhaps post it on your behalf!
