i totally agree, the g35 is my total obsession right now, but this is a cheaper, sort of nostalgiac version that i would none the less not mind having...
Pic 3 is a damn lie. They just had to show it go against a Charger huh. I bet there was a 383 in there. Let's she if they can do that to a R/T with a 440 Hemi in it. A real engine. Damn luxury car want to be a muscle car. If you want a muscle car buy one! Those clowns.

It totally could beat a Charger or even a Camaro SS. But if you dont like it, its ur opinion, not mine.
A 4.5 liter V8, DOHC, 4 valves per cyclinder, and they only managed to get 340 HP out of it? That's just lazy engineering, plain and simple. There are some 4.2 liter engines shipping on $23k pickup trucks putting out well over 400-450. Muscle car my foot!
