Review no hard, we go run am as always. But that 212 will cost upwards of 6.5m if you decide to penny pinch and order/ship/clear your self. That's still very high for a car with practically little second third hand value
The cost doesn't make sense.

I did some research myself. Dodge charger is one of the cars used by u.s .a police and they chase down almost every car. If the car is not fast enough to beat a G35,then i don't understand the miracle behind that Nissan engine.

The police Dodge charger isn't your normal stock HEMI, they have some tweak to them and they are only able to catch bad cars because

1. Most cars they chase are no match for those cars, I don't expect your normal Camry, Honda accord, Civic etc to out run a highly modified V8

2. Those chase are not predetermined, you running from the law can't fix variables that can help you win a race like other road users, road conditions etc

3. You are been chased by several cars, no way you can shake them all, it's not Need for speed but real life scenario, any mistake, it's game over no pause button, retry or restart button.

I expected more from you though, so you didn't know mustang, Camaro and all those American muscle just pack V8 for the exhaust note, they can only brag to normal 2gr and J35 Engines.

nah only the 6.1L try small but what kind of person would ride that around town they sniff petrol instantaneously

you should have gone for a Civic Si, type R or the almighty sleeper VW golf R performance

Police chargers have a different motor and suspension. They are custom built and different states use different brands. They put out the specs they want and let the brands bid.

She go branch lekki greet elders, it's in the constitution!

Nurey getting an SRT8 will cost an arm and a leg, I currently have need for those body parts. Besides, I don't see the need for a Civic Si/Type R or a Bug. HeavenlyBang go still find way buy 370z.

Dannybrasky no worry, that G35 no too well, guy man been mention somewhere say the car get CEL - I dey fancy my chances well. Car wer don dey suffer for naija for the past how many months? By now go don lose like 50 hp from engine performance, even suspension sef don hear am.

Police chase cars are customized. But not with respect to engines. Just suspensions, cooling systems, etc. A police chase is very different from a race, as someone pointed out. It's more protracted and has more to do with endurance, knowledge of terrain, and wit. Not really speed.

As for why the G37 wrecks a Charger Hemi? That's because Chargers are boats. Heavy as hell. It's not really surprising. A G37 will do 0-60 in as low as 5.1s, the Charger Hemi does it in around 5.4s. Quarter mile times are also similar.

So yeah, the G is just quicker. Slightly, though. Very slightly. It's something quality of drivers can even out.

I have mad respect for Nissans, but build quality and refinement no just dey. This M35 was packed for some time, I think 11 months or so alongside a Toyota Picnic looking for a buyer, from where dem pack am e dey here develop engine overheating issues, CPS issues, leaky moon-roof, interior falling apart like a deck of cards, in short whenever I drive it, my eyes are constantly on the temperature guage. The picnic runs and drives smoothly, no interior bits here and there.

It's very sad, - I've the parts to fix it, but competent mechanics hard to find for here, and I no ready dash anybody one kobo. Maybe I go open thread put am for sale "as is". Full disclosure no be problem for where I dey.

Very weird, as my G is verrry solidly built. Very. Built like a tank structurally. But yeah, steering wheel and door control trims are all faded.

I think Infiniti picked up things in 2007 with the release of the 2nd gen G. First gen G's also had issues similar to what you listed.

Yeah, some times I feel they could have just stored it properly, it's in the past now. Anybody that wants a proper restoration headache challenge, can always PM me.
