G37 vs G37S features

[@jondevore8579]

The S doesn't just have bigger rotors, it also has 4 piston calipers up front.

[@xen84]

Also, if you want a manual, you have to have the S. It's not available on the other models. Additionally, the bigger sport brakes package is standard on the S. (Optional on the Journey, I believe). They have much bigger calipers with two pistons per side on the rear and four per side on the front.

I have a 2014 Q60S (rebadged G37S) and I also have the six speed manual. I have driven the automatic and it is nice, but there is just something about driving one with the six speed manual.. V8, Benz, you're not alone...

[@duomaxwell5807]

V8 Benz same here with a stage 2 clutch this guy an amateur. ..he said slightly bigger brakes lmao SMH...

[@CTX50]

I also have the 6 speed manual...paddles are for pussies. Also the brakes are significantly bigger on the S...4 piston calipers with 14" rotors compared to dual piston with 12.5". Bigger on the rear as well

[@MarcG7424]

Both vehicles are mechanically interchangeable if you want to spend some money you can add paddle shifters or a different front bumper to the regular model. The only thing you cant get is a manual transmission.

[@jaysont96]

I must have gotten ripped off. My sport model doesn't have the paddle shifters. I just have a clutch pedal and the 6MT... Nuts

[@brandonjacobo4965]

Jayson Wheeler face palm. 6mt don't have paddle shifters.

[@jaysont96]

brandon jacobo face paml. It was obviously a joke hinting at the fact that a Sport model G37 should only have came in the 6MT. Not that I have anything against automatics, but there is a lot of performance lost in a standard automatic. Even with paddle shifters.

[@AM-wi6zo]

Jayson Wheeler Actually if you get a car in automatic from 2010 or newer its faster. New automatics are faster now because of the technology. still not as fun as a manual though

[@AvenueXXX]

Yeah I agree I've been driving manual for 6 years and all newer semi shifts even a Lexus SUV has great performance compared to the older model manuals I've driven

[@jaysont96]

I disagree, a standard automatic still has much power loss relative to its manual counterpart. The only exception would be a dual clutch automatic with paddle shifters. But not every car with paddle shifters is dual clutch, including the G37S or even the new Q60S 400. So for G37's the manual can always make more power and have generally fast shift times.

[@oHAYABUSAo]

Good question, now that I think about it I, the g37x is probably safer to drive and more practical, especially in the winter. However they also make a G37xs with the features of both. Rwd cars my be more fun to drive because you can drift a little, but all wheel drive can be fun too due to the slightly better grip and therefore acceleration. I haven't had a chance to compare the car to other awd cars, however, I think they would be in the same class performance wise, but there are trade-offs.

[@MyFLASHYLyfe732]

Yes the g37xs is the way to go. Everything in one package. The best choice of them all.

[@1970borntorun]

Ok, the real, intelligent, answer is that the AWD ( X ) Model operates in RWD drive mode ALL the time, and only sends power to the front wheels when it senses front wheel slip. That's one of the reasons these cars have been called a "370Z in a Tuxedo" by many Media sources when this Model ( G35, G37 ) debuted. It's because they drive and handle like a true Sports Car, but are safe in the winter when you need them to be. I used to own BMW and AUDI. Never again !! lol ;)

[@CalJennings]

You taught me something that I didn't know before. Thanks!

[@CrazyGreek80]

Also when you slide it to the left it goes into DS mode which has a more agressive shifts holds the gear longer overall screw Manuel and get the 7 speed auto with the DS. G37s best buy over stock also the G37S gets the Helical limited slip diff that is found on the 370 Nismo you get a lot for the S! Way better than the Germans too!!!

[@xpectz]

So the sport version only has bigger brakes and wheels? Excluding the interior.

[@michaelarlen7805]

When comparing all G37 models to the G37x, or any other "AWD" car for that matter, they are only comparable under certain driving conditions. Unlike an EVO or Subaru which are full time AWD, the G37x model is a full time RWD vehicle, same as any other G37 model and only becomes AWD when rear wheel slippage occurs, and even then it only sends 50% of the power to the front wheels. So when it comes to acceleration or windy roads, the G37 and G37x perform and feel the same until rear wheel slippage

Doesn't the "Snow" switch on the center console lock it in 50-50 mode?

[@georgebalzer5490]

YES... clutch, throw out bearings, clutch forks, slave cylinders, check out any G37 forum to see a list of problems. Never once seen a problem on a 7 speed A/T

[@incan87]

Its bc ppl dont know how to drive manual transmission cars properly. They change gears too soon and make the clutch grind and wear out quicker. Usually manual transmissions do need the clutch to be replaced before a torque converter but are less expensive than torque converter though. I have seen ppl take their manual transmissions sports cars to 250k miles before needing to replace it. However they were 2 older mechanics who had decades of experience driving manual cars.

In your opinion...which is better? The g37s or the g37x? On curvy roads i see the potential for an awd coupe over the rwd, but I personally think life is a little more interesting when the back end decides to step out a bit....right of passage so to speak for "Good" drivers.

[@namastesahib94]

I'm not sure where you are getting your information that the RWD accelerates faster, but it doesn't. AWD, even on regular roads without snow has better grip, and will accelerate faster. Also, AWD will be safer in the winter because all 4 wheels are getting power, resulting in less slipping. In a RWD, only the back two wheels get the power, causing a difference in power of front and back wheels, causing more slip, even if there is a limited slip differential.

[@dan428]

namastesahib94 RWD version does accelerate faster on dry pavement. It has less power loss and weight.

The regular G37 suspension isn't very luxury and is quite sporty as it is. I certainly don't want/need to be bounced around any more than that driving to work or running errands which is actually what most of us do after all. The S model has more aggressive (expensive) tires/wheels and being different sizes front and back they can't be rotated. These are just a few things to think about when you actually have to live with this decision.
