Nice and flat...

 

[Shlong]

I remember reading a review saying it handled better than the BMW 335, and it's much cheaper. Looks pretty good.

30-45k is a decent guess...

How is an engines redline determined?

In a nutshell, the strength/lightness of components, the lighter and stronger the components the faster the camshaft can spin.

No torque curve can ever make up for the crappy interior Infiniti sticks in their coupes. Lexus will always reign king of the japan automakers when it comes to the insides...but in reality Germany is the place to go for a nice/functional/sporty interior.

Looks nice, although a turbo will really be needed to get it going IMO, the torque curve is amazing but 287HP isn't that much anymore...

That's more than the class leader...

That's 287 hp to the wheels, i'm guessing this is 330hp at the crank.

Not to mention, the power under the curve is quite good. It produces power all the way up to redline.

Agreed. That's a STRONG motor.

Mostly, it's the mass of the reciprocating components vs the "top-end breathing" of the combustion chamber and associated parts (head, valves, ports, piston top, manifold/header, etc.)

heh, my little nitro RC motor does 35K easily.

Then again it's not hard to move air when the components weigh a few dozen grams.

:roll: Infiniti used to have bad interiors. The latest G35 sedan interior is nice, and the M35/M45 interiors are very nice.

Still not up to par with Lexus.

Yes, I have sat in both.

I would rank Lexus > Acura > Infiniti interior wise.

Performance wise, Lexus and Infiniti are close.

Same here, and I've driven them.

Infiniti REALLY needs to something about the crappy brakes in the G35 as well as the crap interior. Great motor, but doesn't have the complete package.
