I agree, I actually enjoyed the steering in my G37 but found it horrible when they moved to the EPS in the Q models. I do believe that they actually switched back to hydraulic at a certain point, may want to look more into that. Regardless, fixed by a quick test drive

I loved my G37s coupe but when I test drove the 400RS, only thing I felt was the acceleration and nothing more. Unless they make a new gen Z, kiss any aftermarket support for the Infiniti platform goodbye.

AMS debuted an insane tuner kit for the Q60RS. The main issue with the infiniti models was truly the weight. If they just take this powerplant, put it in a next generation 370z (or whatever it will be called) and add a manual, that seems like a straight win right there.

Really??? They haven't been about big horsepower. I've found the z version of these cars to be great project or track toys.

As long as its priced right, I think it will be solid competition. The infiniti model should go after the M2 price point with the Nissan equivalent (see above comment) after the Camaro SS 1le price point.
