The G35 6MT has 298 hp while the M35x has 280. That is all, rant over.

 

Does the M35x come with a 6MT? Probly not.

The AT G35 is 280 as well. Thats probly why.

 

It's still strange that the give the engines differing power outputs simply because of the difference in transmission. That has nothing to do with effecting the actual output. I wonder what the reasoning at Nissan is behind this. Then again, I should know better than trying to use the words "reasoning" and "Nissan" in the same sentence.

 

Well, what pisses me off is that Acura still won't release a mid-sized coupe. That is all.

 

oh god. quit yer whining...like yer going to use all 298 horses!

 

It would piss me off BUT the 06 M35x which I'm leaning heavily towards, does not have a ventilated passenger seat while the 07 does since I won't ever be sittin' over there.

So what else pisses you guys off? (Besides Water-S) Friday morning pissed off thread . . . .

 

You feelin ok cheif?

So does the 07 M come with the new 3.5L VQ rated at 306? If not, maybe you should wait.

 

I'm fine, just can't seem to write a coherent sentence. I'd rather have nearly 20 more horses and a 6 spd in the M35x I'm looking at but ain't gonna happen. I'll have to resolve myself to the fact that in order to make quick getaways I'll have to be in the Z instead.

 

Being 15K upside down in a car I don't even have right now pisses me off.

 

^^^

 

 

??? if you get the ventilated seats, both driver and passenger seats are ventilated, not just the driver seat.

The only difference with '07 is the 10-way power for both seats, whereas the '06 only had 6-way passenger.

 

g35 > m35

get the m45

 

I'll go on a limb here and assume that its RPM's that prevent the full power being used by the automatic versions. I know it was the same for the NSX and Prelude.

 

Nothing strange or unusual about this. Car companies have been doing this for 50 years.

 

I could have sworn I read a post containing a parts list of stuff needed to up the power output somewhere (not like I'm looking at g forums or anything )

 

All this Infiniti-want on an Acura board tees me off. Half of you should move over to Freshalloy permanently! Wait, don't do that, I don't want the post-count competition.

 

I still have a CL-S so I'll be stayin' M Type X

 

The difference is that the 2006 350Z and 2006 G35c use a updated version of the 3.5 L VQ. It is a different engine entirely. The 300/298hp versions are the "rev-up" engine that has a few internal modifications, but the biggest is that it has a 7000rpm redline versus 6500 in the older version. It gained ~18hp, but it lost ~15lb/ft of torque.

A higher reving engine like the rev-up VQ makes more sense in a sports car versus the version used in the M35 which produces more torque and is more befitting a luxury car.

You aren't missing anything as the loss of torque in the 300hp VQ makes it feel little to no faster than the 280hp version.

 

115hp @ 5200rpm and an automatic 4 speed does it for me

 

In my previous post, this example the power difference is due to the fact it is an entirely different engine.

Here are a few examples of the changes in the 298hp(G35c) / 300hp (Z) VQ versus the 280hp(M35) / 287hp(Z) VQ:

- Camshaft profile modifiactions
- Stronger valve springs
- Variable exhaust-valve timing
- Upgraded & forged pistons, rods, and crank pulley

 

M35 > G35C
everyone has a G even the fat executive admin at the job who can't fit in it or get out of it.

 

Thanks Cusdaddy... I know I read something like this before... Maybe it was here in the G thread in automotive news...

 

The VQ in the 07 M35 is now rated 275hp/268lbft thanks to the new SAE calculation. I guess they will make the change for the MY08.

I wonder does the declined sales of TL have anything to do with the new SAE numbers.
