Default those M56S Infinitis are pretty quick...

Not quick enough for a bolt on '02 WS6, but not bad at all for a 4 door. Pulled him through beginning of 5th, then I couldn't put anymore land on him. Dont know if they are turbo or not, but I heard some whistle during the pre-race "goosing the throttle". I gotta admit, I was impressed...

5.6-liter, DOHC 32-valve direct-injection V-8: 420 horsepower at 6000 rpm, 417 pound-feet of  torque, mated to a seven-speed automatic...Our M56S achieved its best acceleration results in its first visit to the test track with 1347 miles on the clock: 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds, the quarter in 13.2 at 108 mph. That’s unusual; most engines loosen up toward the end of a long-term tour. Then again, 4.9 seconds to 60 and a 13.5-second quarter-mile at 107 mph...

It actually should be a great run for a lightly modded ls1 fbody. Funny that I've never heard of those cars: guess with the kind of horrible, horrible quality infiniti gave them they weren't exactly top sellers?

I've owned mine for over 2yrs and only changed the oil and gas. No probs so far. They have a hybrid model that has 360hp. I test drove it and it put me in the seat too but the trunk was ridiculously small due to the battery so I opted for the 56.

13.2@108 is not bad at all for a Nissan Luxo-barg. Same for the 5.0 Genesis sedan. Some guy was running 12.8s@110 in one.
