Infinity's boast!

[focusfreak]

I have a thread identical to this one in the focus area. The thread is about how Infinity with a radio add for the G35 is declaring it the next muscle car. Who, other than me, thinks this is nuts? I think it's crap because the only cars that will ever be muscle cars are American made, not imports. Like Mustangs, Camaros, Cobras, Corvettes, Vipers, etc. Not some wannabe piece of tin crap.

Agreed, but rice can be fast.

My good friend just bought an 04 G35. And it is very nice. Make no mistake about it, at 287 stock HP, it is fast.........but we ran twice...I still won both times. It doesn't make near the torque that my stang does, even though it is probably making more RWHP. FYI, passed him on the 2-3 shift.

The only muscle cars are american made plain and fuckin' simple, hands down, case closed! And thats the bottom line because StangRacer says so!!!

I'm glad you guys agree. I mean, I like the car, but how dare the company proclaim the car to be something it will never be. The forum I had in the Focus forum was moved to the Infiniti forum. Some guy calls me an idiot over there to. Some people have no respect.

Impressive, yes, but not a muscle car.... you proved it with the first 3 words of your post. It HAS to have a 90* v8 to be a muscle car. And at least 281ci under the hood.

I concur, duplox.

Hey wat about australian muscle?Look at this aussie legend below.It ran a 351 in 71' and it still to a part owns the road.There are also newer GTs which are somthing in the range of 290Kw and 515Nm of torque.Now in my book thats muscle.

Aussie is a lot like america for cars.. Thats the only country other than the US that I'll agree can produce muscle cars. After all, the aussies produced ford's best smallblock from the musclecar haydays for a lot longer than we did in the US! we made the 351c for 4 years, they did more like 12! All the best 351c parts come from australia(alloy heads, intakes, etc), so I definately consider australia a muscle car worthy land! Their parts are makin sure the ricers stay good and far behind me.

yea, only domestic cars car be muscle cars... their are other cars there were like muscle cars, but its not the same thing. although, i wouldn't go around calling a fox body mustang a muscle car.. i mean there nice, and afast car for sure, but a muscle car? i dunno..

You know I really hope your kidding, either that or you just ran out of stuff to say. If a mustang, fox body or not doesn't qualify as a muscle car I don't know what the hell does. Give me a break.

Are you sure it wasn't the M45? I think they were going with the "muscle car" campaign for that one, which is closer to the original idea for a muscle car: take a pedestrian sedan, put in V8. It's a Nissan V8, but what're'ya'gonna do?

Why dont you run my buddies Fox body mustang, he's got a stroked 351c(406) in it. Any inifinity ever beats that thing and i will buy imports the rest of my life. I witnessed a guy, with a 92 Z28, had a 383 stroker in it; He backed down from a race. If it's american and one of the big three, it's muscle. No questions.

p.s.- Chrysler doesn't count anymore, they were bought out by the Germans.

351c's haul ass. Stroke them and you fill those huge ports better.. either that, or leave them stock stroke and rev the shit out of them... To me, the ultimate "small block" ford. I'm takin the 3rd route with mine, forced induction... hopefully get 600hp to the wheels with the c4, but if it breaks, in goes a toploader and up goes the boost! The motor is being built to handle around 700.
Big slicks on a narrowed 9 inch pushing the front wheels off the ground with a big v8 screaming at 8000rpm is the definition of muscle for me!
