Just want to clarify...
The Hemi engine came in 426 CID not 440...
I have yet to see a 4.2 truck engine N/A put out 400-500 hp...
The most powerful truck right now is the SRT/10 with 500 hp from 8 liters, far from being a work truck though.
It takes a lot of effort and time to put out an engine that has good power, clean emissions, that is fuel efficient with a good idle, etc.
Esentially they took the engine out of the Q45 and dropped it into a smaller lighter car... Hence the muscle car comparison...
Not a muscler car in my eyes, but a nice fast 4 dr never the less.

The M45 is almost a year old. It is ugly today as it was when it was first introduced. The G35 Coupe is the best designed Infiniti/Nissan since the 89 Maxima.
And what truck makes 400hp @ $23k? Nada-one.
The M45 is just below the Q45 & more expensive than the G35s.

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!

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...
