I just did 0-60 test on my new 2017 GSF.
Guess what? The below is the result...
2007 G35S 170K kms in 2017 : 5.05 (Normal mode and near empty gas tank)
2017 GSF 10K kms in 2018 : 4.93 (Sport mode and near empty gas tank)
In fact I'm both happy and sad. I'm happy because my old G is still very good. I'm sad because I pay so much money in GSF and it isn't much faster.(I was trying hard and did 3 times to get a better number) I was expecting new GSF should be around 4.5 but I do believe my GSF will become much faster when it's over 50-100K kms.
So Nissan Japan is AS GOOD AS Toyota Japan!!!
2017 GSF
0-20 : 1.60 (my test)
0-30 : 2.28 (my test), 1.8 (motortrend)
0-60 : 4.93 (my test), 4.4 (motortrend)
2007 G35S
0-20 : 1.58
0-30 : 2.35
0-60 : 5.05
From above numbers, professional drivers from motortend get much better numbers from 0-30 which means they really know how to get good start for GSF. (know how to get good traction from start). For me I waste near half a second for 0-30.
However 30-60 I can get similar numbers as those from motortrend.
2017 GSF's 0-60 is not so good. Part of reasons is that it didn't get a good start as G35S. So if I improve my start skills on GSF, it should be get better numbers. But I think it should only improve 0.1-0.2.
So all in all old G35S is still a very good car. GSF is a little bit slower than what I expect but I think after 50K-100K kms it should be better. How much better GSF will be? I don't know but time will tell...
Luckily I did test 2014 Q50 3.7 in 2015 before. The below is the result. (Same location similar weather except 3/4 gas tank)
0-20 1.77
0-30 2.52
0-60 5.67
I was also very surprised the results since the new Q50 felt SO MUCH faster than my old G. Again I did try very hard to get a better number but....
If my new GSF compares with Q50 numbers instead of the old G, I think GSF's numbers become better and I also feel better.
All in all, I think when buying these Nissan/Toyota cars, used cars maybe are better option. I think why my G is so reliable, partly because my G have over 300 hp. Usually I only use 30-50% of its power even thought I drive it spiritedly most of time. Therefore 30 years ago those Nissan/Toyota cars with 4 cylinders and small power engines were very reliable (better than many V6/V8 at same age) which were really amazing already...
