Gc is an awesome looking car. S-tune parts are what I would get. That white G is an internet favorite.

Man dont try to resist, those cars swallow up anything smaller!! I went over to G35driver too, (simply because we were talking about them) and there a ton of guys over there with 20" wheels. Even the white one that I posted (its not dropped like that though ). I found a thread about Vortech Superchargers for the 6spd G35s that give them 370rwhp!!!!

Good choice of car man

Nice car. Congragulations. And you got an engine in it that ain't chump change. So break it in well ( no 4000 RPM-plus revs for the first 1000 miles or so, no steady speeds, oil and filter change at 1000 miles to get the shavings and impurities out ). Infinitis are as reliable as Lexuses are in the long run if well serviced.

How do you like the interior? That, to me, has been Infiniti's (and Nissan's) one weakness lately.

Nothing a little Alcantara here, contrasting piping there, and custom floormats everywhere cant fix!!

The interior is OK but not quite as distinctive as the 350Z's, with the original-style 3-gauge cluster inht center of the dash. But the Z's interior also has a lot of CHEAP parts.

Handling on this car though, is first-rate...perhaps even better than the Z's. And you probably didn't have to pay over sticker and wait like for Z's.

They have been tested VERY close whithin one another, but the Coupe (Sport model) having a longer wheelbase and Pilot Sports, has been tested quicker on occassion. But it's hefty bulk (several hundred pounds heavier) causes it to be considerably slower in ALL other stats. Still.... An AWESOME Car any way you look at it!

Same platform............ Different purpose.

350Z stats
0-60 mph: 5.4 sec
0-100 mph: 13.6 sec
Quarter Mile: 13.95 sec @ 102 mph
Skidpad: .91g
Top Speed: 156 mph
Braking, 60-0 mph: 115 ft
Slalom Speed: 67.8 mph
