Eddee:


I live in Calabar and work in Ogoja, I do this run (to and fro) every weekend. I never go above 130km. But certainly could reach 200km for a short while, if i was in a hurry to die between the newly rehabilitated Adim - Ugep road

thebigkendo:


Is like you want kingreign, Obeke & his Toyota or nothing gang to come after you abi?

obekediamondfuto:


don't worry bro, my weekly cumulative hours spent on the road greatly outweighs urs.... for what it's worth.... and I cannot even get to 130km/h no matter what I do.... not because of the car, but because of the traffic so u are not alone!

diportivo:
people dey speed for here oooo


chaii

Eddee:


I was trying to reach out to Oluwaseunla 5 or 6 days ago, he was busy he later informed me that he finished fixing a G35 around 7pm and that it was driven overnight and got to Nnewi around 3 am. I always felt Diportivo and Logobenz were the fastest of us all, now I know something or someone else is a speed demon. Oga Kingreign we go beat Abuja to Calabar thresholds together

Eddee:


Very true, most drivers will immediately put the pedal to the metal to ensure any Benz in their way stays in their rear view. Me I go just give you way. But those Nissans no dey play at all.

CityNGR:

And for the part most of you are concerned about. What are my thoughts on the Infiniti G35?

It's a brilliant car. Honestly.

Interior
The fit and finish is better than on my ES. Keep in mind that my ES was a fully loaded model. The sound system fuckin bangs, and the entire cockpit is just so well designed.

Handling
The car's steering is fuckin heavy! Stop whatever you're doing and go drive one. Heavy as hell. I'm a skinny dude and I feel like my biceps are going to grow if I drive this for three more months. Heavy and precise. There's a reason why the G knocked the BMW 3-series out of the way for a while. These cars are designed to make you enjoy driving.

Power
I have 306 horses under my hood, I'm not sure what you expect. The car moves. Fast. Wickedly fast. And AWD ensures I never lose traction at takeoff. Let me put this into perspective: Bar the E550, CLK550, and S550, there are no non-AMG Mercs faster than this car. None. And it will hang with those three cars until 80 MPH or so before they pull on it due to their 80 HP advantage. Let that sink in: It takes an extra 80 HP for a naturally aspirated V8 to be able to keep up.

That said, this thing is a gas guzzler! I have a heavy foot, so I'm probably at fault too. But, God, it drinks fuel.
Let me put this into perspective: I bought 40 L of fuel yesterday. I've driven about 50 miles, and I have just 50 miles of range left. The previous owner averaged about 14 MPG combined. I'll be happy to get 12.

That said, a full tank of gas took us back home from Lagos, which is about 290 miles (465 km), and I had about 15 litres left. I should be able to get 20-21 MPG if I keep the car at 2000 RPM, doing 80-100 KM/H. Basically the ideal speed for fuel economy.

Anyway, smiles per gallon are more important. Not a big deal. And anytime I step on the throttle--which is often--I'll be reminded of why I pay so much for fuel.

That is all.

Much thanks to everyone who helped.

- Nurey, Kingreign, thebigkendo, obekediamondfuto, banky3w, diportivo and the host of demeanors for their advice when I was picking the car to buy.
- DelTel for running the show.
- Gazzuzz and Oluwaseunla for their hospitality.
- OPUSDEI1 for everything.
- CarguidNG for the report
- And Pattybf for handling my registration.
