Meet The Owner Of A 600HP INFINITI FX35 Family SLEEPER (Daily Driver)

Brad built a 600hp sleeper family suv that will smoke a corvette stingray and alot of other sports cars.
The term crossover vehicle covers a lot of ground these days, and the Infiniti FX35 shows how far that idiom is being pushed. Typical crossovers are vehicles such as the Toyota RAV4 or Honda Pilot-they're based on car platforms and lack the low-range transfer cases and robust Paris-Dakar durability of truck-based SUVs, but they wear trucks, blocky sheetmetal.
You sure can't say that about this Infiniti FX35. Yes, at 65.0 inches high, it does stand some seven inches taller than a Ford Taurus station wagon. And at 189.1 inches long, it is about eight inches shorter than the Taurus wagon. So the FX does possess proper SUV proportions.
It looks brawny as well, but in the bulging, muscular fashion of a Dodge Viper rather than the square-shouldered idiom of a Caterpillar tractor. Moreover, its greenhouse is tidy, rakish, and sleek, and this particular FX35 didn't even have four-wheel drive. Instead, it funnelled every bit of its 280 horsepower to its rear tires
Like its bigger brother, the FX45, which is the quickest non-turbocharged SUV we've ever tested, the FX35 is geared purely for grappling with the pavement. Although it wears standard 18-inch tires instead of the 20s found on the 45 (20s are optional on the FX35), the 265/60VR-18 Bridgestone Potenza RE92s provide sufficient grip for the FX to corner at 0.80 g and stop from 70 mph in 181 feet. Makes it easy to believe the FX chassis is related to the FM platform used by the Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35.
Equipped with Nissan's ubiquitous 3.5-liter V-6, which develops 280 horsepower in this iteration, the FX35's pace is surprisingly close to that of the FX45, which has a much more powerful 315-hp V-8. We measured the sprint to 60 in 7.1 seconds and the quarter-mile in 15.5 seconds at 91 mph (6.3 and 15.0 in the FX45). Top speed was an ungoverned 137 mph, enough to see off most expensive German sedans with their 130-mph governors..

Great video lots of good information, and he was honest and didn't hold anything back from everything you asked him 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾⛽🎯✔️ fins for the win 🏁🏁🏁

[@salbando7154]

Hey man who built it and where ?

[@HardParking]

As the owner of an FX35 sport, this is my hero.

[@socalsupers]

My favorite thing is it looks stock from the outside

[@jaypalo]

Dude thank you for show casing this thing! Great freaking eye on your part, owner seems cool as well. It’s crazy how nice this car looks today, especially by today’s standards it has aged so well. I always wanted to daily an FX, this makes me want one even more.

[@socalsupers]

Thanks for the nice comment man appreciate it 🤙

[@ZeroG]

Yeah I just found an '04 FX35 with 60k miles and dude religiously took it to the dealer. Like it had the 75k service at 59k miles LOL. The interior has the bubbles but my gosh it drives sharper than my '04 325ci. I was gonna buy something more expensive but then I saw that and I was like, "Hmm, I could mod this" haha

[@qieedishmael9897]

Beautiful, makes me miss my fx45

[@classicjay1880]

I’m a person who goes for underrated or sleeper items and I need a car like this lol especially cause I want kids in the future

[@cvcer1984]

Been waiting for this a long time💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@juliolozano1161]

I want my fx like this, very clean.

[@MA-it3ps]

I need to know more about what he did to the transmission. I plan to go rear mount turbo in my G35 sedan. I already have a new transmission and shift kit ordered but what did he do the clutches in there🤔

[@futured1prospect]

in the market for a new car.. and i have been toying with the idea to do something like this but a NA build and i really wanna do it with the V8 fx50 s...

[@zoidzoid87]

I still want a fx ....I Love my Q45 but the biggest problem is tuning for the v8's there are some supercharged vk45's out there but they are rare.

[@numutekwipu2006]

Wow nice need that engine set up for my fx35 with the upgrade transmission

[@Vergoso_42]

[@streetstyle9200]

I wish my 07 M35X had this set up

[@kyoakland]

I thought I seen this on the show with mat before the turbo

[@socalsupers]

[@dieseldan420ca]

Very cool but I dont buy that aero limited line. The FX45 tops out at 147mph and the FX50 can hit 158mph.

[@klmbaby6]

I just bought a 08 FX35 same color as this but nowhere near as fast....lol

[@jarrettmcgowan3663]

I need to talk to this man ASAP

[@akanbilincoln3891]

[@brandonriggle3087]

I purchased a 08 M35X 1 owner that I knew the original owners and their insanely anal love and care that they put into their vehicles and this is the first time I have stepped away from Toyota/Lexus but this car is literally showroom condition no dents or dings or scratches no stress cracks non smoker, car looks drives and smells as if it came off the showroom floor yesterday... I am wanting to build it and have been wanting to since day 1 of ownership, can you email me or something and talk build specs and vendors

[@socalsupers]

Hi Brandon that is amazing sounds like you found a gem. I didn’t build this car I just interviews the owner.

[@gordonsweep]

Do you know if he has a youtube channel??? I would like to see more of that car
