| View Full Version : Why is the CTS 360 lbs heavier than the G35? chazman 10-31-07, 06:38 PM http://www.automochatter.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2889 Zymurgy 10-31-07, 07:07 PM The CTS is slightly larger overall. 4.6 inches longer, 2.7 inches wider and .8 inches taller. The CTS has a 6 speed automatic, the G35 has a 5 speed automatic. Taking the product of the dimensions shows that the CTS is about 8% larger than the G35. That would account for about 275 pounds. The transmission would add some more pounds. griveira 10-31-07, 07:21 PM I will let the engineers and the experts give you the correct answer but on the surface it seems to me that its because its a bigger car. 4.6" longer, 2.7" wider and .8"taller. I don't know how much this represents it terms of weight. SkiD 10-31-07, 07:27 PM It would be even more if the CTS had a sunroof to match the tested G35. jasaero 10-31-07, 07:39 PM It's longer by like 3 inches and wider by about an inch. It's just bigger. JBsZ06 10-31-07, 07:46 PM What does the M class Infiniti weigh? The G35 is a little car compared to the CTS.. so theres your answer.. I would like to know what the 50 thousand dollar M35 awd weighs if you don't mind.. I'd bet its the same or more than the similiarly sized CTS. silver bullet 10-31-07, 07:57 PM Because it's a CADILLAC.:yup: Cadillacboy 10-31-07, 08:05 PM The heavier the better ? MoFex 10-31-07, 08:08 PM 1. CTS is bigger 2. CTS has more sound proofing materials 3. M35 approximately 4,000 pounds.. And to be honest - who really cares...:) Cadillacboy 10-31-07, 08:12 PM I think youre right MoFex ;) malcolm 10-31-07, 08:20 PM 360 pounds of balls, it's a Cadillac. gothicaleigh 10-31-07, 08:53 PM ...because they compared it in the wrong class. The '08 CTS is a 5 series competitor. The G35 is a 3 series competitor. Cadillac's Euro-BLS will be a 3 series competitor when it comes here. z06bigbird 11-01-07, 01:31 AM G35 is lighter. LOL yellowxhoodie 11-01-07, 04:38 PM Because it's a CADILLAC.:yup: damn you stole my post, thats exactly what i was going to say, word for word, haha. cadillac=heavy | |
