IPL is coupe only. At least he didn't join the Mustang bandwagon and kept it in the same family tree

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.

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!

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.

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

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?

Now now, we all know the limitation of IPL..but no need to bash it just because its got a body kit that looks 1998.
