Bump!,
also, if you have ever sat in the back, your head will hit the glass(and i'm only 5'5"),but their interior rocks, and their service is first rate.

That and everyone has one. I will bet you, if you go outside right now onto the main road, you'll see at least 2 of them, either the coupe or sedan.

My best friend has a G35 coupe 6MT, I have a 05 MR. We bought our cars at the same time. Not only we driven our cars hard on windy roads together, but we've matched our cars at stoplights and whatnot. We have many hours clocked driving both our cars out places. Not only that, but we have swapped cars, and I have many hours in the G.

The bottom line is, either car driven properly is fast. The Evo is faster. No question. Ask him or I and we'll tell you the same, we've driven head to head at stoplights, the Evo is faster, it's faster on the road, windy or otherwise.

Don't get me wrong, the G35 is fast. And if it's properly driven, it's pretty damn quick and nimble. But don't let the similar pricec ranges fool you, when it comes to performance, the G just doesn't stand a chance.

i've raced one evo and the driver definitely seemed crappy, he said he dumped it at 5 K rpm and had way more traction, i basically dropped it at 3000 rpm b/c i get no traction and he had me to like 50-60 after which it was pretty even. new g has 298 hp so should make it a bit better. 350z is a dif story though, its faster than a g35 and slower than an evo, but most evo drivers i know (well the whopping 2) dont drop their cars at 5, just the idiot i raced that one time. and rolling from like 75 i had him, i think that may just be because i have a better transmission. however, no chance once you drop a tt in there because the torque of the v6 is soooo beastly then. jesus if only i had 5 grand. evo is a bad *** automobile though. good drivers can own g35 drivers like me with it.

I've never lost to a 350z. You need to do the internals on that motor or otherwise you'll only be boosting 8psi.

Those pistons and the internals suck on that engine.

It would seem that only GTIs and BMWs in my area want to fool around with my stock MR. But my co-worker has a 350Z touring, auto, stock, and sometimes we play around on the way home from work.

Not trying to be cocky, just what happens: I don't have any problems keeping up with, catching up to, and pulling away from the Z. My friend's G35 is still being broken in, so I will find out how well I do against that car at a later date.
