a guy I have class with told me that his 2004 G35sedan is FWD
yes front wheel drive, I never really looked at it cause I know the Nissan/Infiniti vehicles well but now I have to look and see if it's AWD, it has no X on it, he bought it new and said it's excellent in snow, does anyone know how the G35 sedan does on snow covered roads.
Him telling me that really threw me off

There are some G35X AWD sedans (why Infiniti never put the sedan's AWD option on the mechancally similiar coupe beats me)
They, of course, do pretty well in the snow unless you have dry-weather summer high-performance tires. The easiest way to tell a FWD from an AWD is to look for the G35 "X" designator on the car (usually on the trunk lid), or just take a quick look under the front end, if possible, and see if you can make out two driveshafts going to the front wheels.

A car's real top speed is (or should be) dictated by three things........posted speed limits, safe speeds consistant with road/traction conditions, and simple common sense. If you follow these simple rules you will usually not have any problem.
The 85-MPH speedometers date from the nationwide 55-MPH rules of the 70's and 80's. Automakers saw little or no reason to install triple-digit speedometers when their cars could not be legally driven anywhere near those speeds on public roads. If drivers chose to bury the speedos nontheless, then that was the driver's fault, not the manufacturer's.

Why not. I had a customer tell me the other day that he did a "sick" burn-out in his Scion TC. Quote " there was so much smoke coming off the rear wheels that the guy I was racing in the VETT got scared and didn’t want to run me" End quote. I hate stupid people. (this from the guy with a ebay “turbo whistle” in the exhaust.) I could write a bad book on this guy and his friends. And he has driven his car at 150mh. (I think that the fuel kill is 115mph)......mmmmmm
