Good day...just another 'thinking about getting one' post and hope that you might be able to help.
Two weeks ago I was 95% certain of the vehicle to get but, to satisfy myself that I had given the decision its due diligence, I went into an Infiniti dealership to check out their offerings. I was floored by the 2007 G35X. Really. My 'bias' has been with another brand (it is a known quantity to me), but this G35X...it is very close to swaying me. The dealer gave it to me for overnight and the family loves it. I've spent the past two days reading the posts on this site, on a few other Nissan/Infiniti sites, Edmunds, Forbes, Yahoo, C/D, MotorTrend, R&T...heck, even postings in on-line foreign newspapers.
Aside from a few quibbles here and there, the G35X knocks my first choice off the pedestal. But I just can't find real performance figures for the 2007 G35x sedan. There are figures for previous years, or there are figures for 2007, but they seem to be for a non-G35X model. I couldn't find figures on Infiniti's site either.
Does anyone know, or know where I can find, 0-60 and 1/4 mile times for the 2007 G35x? I'd really appreciate it so that I can put this thing to rest!
2007 G35X Performance Figures
Re: 2007 G35X Performance Figures (Lutjens)
well i forget what the 0-60 is but i know is fast but the 1/4mile is 14.2 not bad for stock
Re: 2007 G35X Performance Figures (Lutjens)
Don't quote me but I think its 5.3 0-60. Don't remember where I picked it off from.
Re: 2007 G35X Performance Figures (Lutjens)
Interesting...I looked everywhere and can't find those specs as well
Re: 2007 G35X Performance Figures (Lutjens)
found it ...........But in case you do get the inkling to go fast, the G35 will not disappoint. The revitalized VQ powerplant now pumps out 306 bhp at 6800 rpm and 268 lb.-ft. of torque at 5200, allowing the Infiniti to race to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and to the quarter mile in 13.9. That’s quicker than the last 350Z we tested. As impressive as the engine is, the rest of the drivetrain isn’t up to the same stand- ards. A high amount of vibration resonates through the 6-speed manual gearbox, and the take-up point of the clutch is like an on/off switch, making it nearly impossible to leave the line smoothly

371.4 POINTSThe new Infiniti G35 Sport was the odds-on favorite coming into the test. It’s the newest of the bunch, it possesses the strongest engine (tied with the Lexus), and it has distinct sports-car roots, sharing its drivetrain and platform with the Nissan 350Z. However, it brought up the rear here, being soundly pummeled by the Lexus and losing out to the less-powerful Acura. What gives? First of all, don’t let this outcome fool you into thinking that the G35 is an inferior vehicle, because it’s not. The reason the Lexus and Acura beat it is the G took the middle road — the IS 350 at the performance end of the spectrum and the TL Type-S on the touring end. And, as some politicians say about those in the middle of the road, they’re the first to get run over. Simply put, the G35 is a fine blend of sport and comfort that’s ideal for the grand-touring enthusiast who doesn’t always enjoy being on the wick.

A high amount of vibration resonates through the 6-speed manual gearbox, and the take-up point of the clutch is like an on/off switch, making it nearly impossible to leave the line smoothly.
“The pedal engagement feel for the clutch is poor. And because of this, even though we usually applaud cars that come with manual transmissions, I’m thinking that I may prefer this one with an automatic. But I do like the gearbox. The linkage feels positive, and the shift action has a precise feel,” Hall remarked.
Through corners, the G35 feels eerily like the 350Z, with similar turn-in feel and handling balance. The major complaint is the steering, which is a bit numb and heavy. But the Infiniti feels stable thanks to the rigidity of the chassis — body stiffness has been increased 36 percent from the last model — and the sport-tuned suspension — upper and lower A-arms up front and multilink at the rear. With the VDC traction control on, the G35 behaves predictably and securely; turn it off, and the thing turns into a virtual drifting machine.
As far as looks go, the G35 impressed all. Its elegant exterior possesses a distinctive European flair that’s both sexy and tasteful. The headlights and grille have been restyled significantly, yet the face is still recognizable as a G. The car is a tad shorter than the Acura, with an overall length of 187.0 in., and rear-seat and luggage space rank second subjectively behind the TL. The interior design and ergonomics are the cleanest of the bunch, with an easy-to-use control center that commands the navigation, stereo and ventilation systems.
“Nice refreshing styling update both inside and out. I particularly like the navigation system because it gives the driver many methods of operation. You can use buttons if you want to or the touch-screen feature. It takes all of five minutes to get acquainted with it,” Elfalan noted.
The price of the G35 is also one of its strong points. A base G35 Sport will run you $32,250 while our G35 Sport, generously equipped, came in at $37,950. It’s a lot of car for the money, and one that caters to both driving purists and Sybarites alike.

Hey all. Thanks. I also did some additional digging and everything is pointing to a mid-5. A tenth or two either way may be the result of the driver, conditions or condition of the engine. Again, thanks.
