HeavenlyBang: Yeah, I do that a lot too. Let them pass and then speed up and overtake just to let them know, and then get back to my cruising speed. But when I see car wey run pass my own I no dey near them. 2 Likes |

obekediamondfuto: Lmao, German cars are built to be able to take on the Autobahn. There's a massive difference in engineering ideologies between Japanese and German cars, and it translates into highway performance. You'd be surprised to see an old Audi 80 doing something similar. ![]() 1 Like |

Philadelphia: I clearly said there are few SUVs that are fast in acceleration and top speed, Mercedes Benz GLK, Porsche panamera, etc are in the category of the few. Infinity fx 35 is not in that category. Though it drives like a sedan (it's not particularly an SUV, low ground clearance, small cargo space and very small head room) and has an agressive look, mad exhaust note but do not be deceived, its not as quick as it looks and top speed is no way near the GLK or cayenne, though still faster than an average SUVs/Cuvs |
Re: A Tribute To My Infiniti G35x 2007 by HeavenlyBang(m): 8:48am On Oct 19, 2018 |
greenhulk:Porsche Cayenne, you meant to say? Used to be my dream car but those things are rare af here. They're also expensive af to clear at customs. |
Re: A Tribute To My Infiniti G35x 2007 by Nobody: 8:49am On Oct 19, 2018 |
Philadelphia: Read again, I said Lexus ES330, not all lexuses. Most Lexus family sedans are not built for speed, the Lexus LC is a grand tourer/performance car. Are all Mercedes Benz built for performance? |
Re: A Tribute To My Infiniti G35x 2007 by Nobody: 8:52am On Oct 19, 2018 |
HeavenlyBang: Yeah, Porsche cayanne, also the panamera turbo is pretty quick and can go top speed with ease. |

CityNGR: nah, I ain't preaching it, don't even love the feel, but I reacted based on the 140km/h someone posted. inasmuch as the model isn't known for speed, I find my comfort in it and it's not as bad as that guy said...... I can do past 140 clean and clear with more than enough strength to reach 180..... so......... it's not that bad! and when both cars break down @ uromi or onicha ugbo, then we will see how fast we can both get back on the road.... when u in ur 2006 BMW or Audi |
Re: A Tribute To My Infiniti G35x 2007 by HeavenlyBang(m): 9:55am On Oct 19, 2018 |
Philadelphia: Lol, but I was only clarifying the terms of the initial comparison. That said, Nissan absolutely kills it in terms of performance. It's impressive that a four-year older engine of the same capacity can produce more power and comparable torque. And the 2009/2010 G37 will hang out with the 2012 C350 comfortably. Really impressive stuff. Cars like the 370z will flat out destroy anything Mercedes puts out in that class (price considered). |
Re: A Tribute To My Infiniti G35x 2007 by Philadelphia: 9:56am On Oct 19, 2018 |
greenhulk: greenhulk: I read again and I have carefully highlighted where you made general statements about the "Lexus brand". I think you should be articulated when speaking on brands and models just for next time. *modified* Why do "they" sell so many cars again? For comfort or performance? And by "they", who do you refer to? Lexus or Lexus Es330? |

greenhulk:It's obvious that you don't know anything about the Infiniti fx35. First, it's an SUV; secondly, it's faster than your Lexus ES330. The 2006 Infiniti fx35 does 0-60mph in 6.79 secs with 280hp Your Lexus ES330 (at most a 2006) does 0-60mph in 7.75 secs with only 218hp Did I read you write that the Infiniti fx35 is not fast? Don't let it's heavy looks deceive you. It will disgrace your Lexus ES330 on the highway. Mind you, top speed of the infinitive fx35 is 130mph or 209.215kmph while your Lexus Es330 does 143mph or 230kmph but trust me, your Lexus may go kaput before it does 230kmph. Here comes where weight and torque plays important roles. The Infiniti fx35 has it with suspension and handling that will make it really hard to somersault. 3 Likes

Re: A Tribute To My Infiniti G35x 2007 by HeavenlyBang(m): 10:39am On Oct 19, 2018 |
Philadelphia: Lol. 1. The FX35 is a crossover and its ground clearance is poor. 2. I'm the ES guy. Greenhulk uses an Acura TL, and the FX35 won't even see the TL's tail lights in a race. Philadelphia:Price considered. G37 was a 45k car brand new, I believe. A C63 is a 90k car. Literally half the price. There's nothing Mercedes produced under 50k that wouldn't get gapped by a G37. |
Re: A Tribute To My Infiniti G35x 2007 by HeavenlyBang(m): 10:51am On Oct 19, 2018 |
mammanbawa: Details are sketchy as it appears MB used different engines on the C350 across different markets, but the US C350 that does 300HP+ is almost definitely the M276. https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/threads/the-complete-m276-engine-thread.191752/ |

Re: A Tribute To My Infiniti G35x 2007 by Philadelphia: 10:59am On Oct 19, 2018 |
HeavenlyBang: Did you see where it is stated that the infiniti fx35 is a SUV? Now you're bringing the Acura TL here. I thought we were comparing the infiniti fx35 with the Lexus Es330? Are we done with that now before we go to the Acura TL? 2 Likes |
Re: A Tribute To My Infiniti G35x 2007 by HeavenlyBang(m): 11:04am On Oct 19, 2018 |
mammanbawa: No, it's the M276. I'm not sure what model had the detuned M276 with 248 HP but the 2012 C350 uses an M276 making 302 HP and 273 ft-lbs of torque.

Re: A Tribute To My Infiniti G35x 2007 by HeavenlyBang(m): 11:08am On Oct 19, 2018 |
Philadelphia: Semantics. The FX35 is a CUV. Same platform as the G and M sedans. That's irrelevant here, of course. My only point is that its ground clearance is pretty bad, like Greenhulk said. Drive one and see. And I was just clarifying that the guy you were talking to doesn't even drive an ES. And I don't think anyone ever said an ES330 was comparable to an FX35, performance wise. |

Philadelphia:Or the SLS SL63 SL65 AMG GT Sha these are all turbo charged V8 monsters except the NA 6.2l SLS |
Re: A Tribute To My Infiniti G35x 2007 by mammanbawa: 11:30am On Oct 19, 2018 |
HeavenlyBang:These sites are mixing things up According to Wikipedia The 350 has the KE m272 engine with 268 hp The blue efficiency has a DE m272 engine with 288hp I believe if it was raised to 302 hp it woulda been stated But like you said It might be a variation of markets sha Or maybe Just maybe, the sites are not aware that the 276 in the c350 is a detuned one |
Re: A Tribute To My Infiniti G35x 2007 by Philadelphia: 11:42am On Oct 19, 2018 |
HeavenlyBang: What's your source that the infiniti fx35 is a CUV? It's a SUV |
Re: A Tribute To My Infiniti G35x 2007 by HeavenlyBang(m): 12:27pm On Oct 19, 2018 |
Philadelphia: Before you ask that you must first understand what a CUV is. It's pretty much a raised sedan. Uses same platform as a sedan. FX uses same platform as G, M, and 350z. It's a CUV. Toyota Rav4 is a CUV. Crosstour is a CUV. Venza is a CUV. These are all facts, whether you like them or not. See first image below. mammanbawa:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_C-Class_(W204) Scroll down to facelift (2011+). See second image below. 60-degree vee angle. Does that sound familiar? You bet it does. See third image below. 2011+ C350 uses an M276 (302HP). 2011+ C300 uses a detuned M276 (248HP).

HeavenlyBang: Bros, you're yarning puan! Infiniti fx35 is never a SUV. Infiiti.com (official website of infiniti), cars.com, Kelly blue book and even us news and world reports all regard Infiniti fx35 as an SUV. You're even arguing with experts and manufacturers of the car. Just accept that you didn't know this. After all, no man is an encyclopedia of knowledge. You're telling me the difference between a CUV and SUV; is that the subject of discussion? I've shared from a reliable source (cars.com) a screenshot where it's clesrly stated that the car is an SUV. I'd share more from other reliable sources. Share your reliable source let's see if it's a CUV. 1 Like

Philadelphia: seems you are also wrong too ![]() The fx is a crossover SUV not a CUV or SUV per say. Even the manufacturers are confused how can a fx first and second generation be called an SUV, ko joor rara; D I have been in the fx35 it doesn't drive, handle, look or perform like an SUV. I did just categorise it as a CUV the manufacturer is just trying to be mischievous. |
