What kind of bolt-ons would it take and is it possible? Thanks!

LOL I used to drive a 04 G35 Coupe AT, and it is DEFINITELY slower than the IS350. It may handle better, but the IS350 is WAY faster than the G35

G35s no matter what model is slower than the IS350. but the G37 should be almost as fast.

I wouldn't say that G35 6MT is WAY slower than IS350
G35AT is WAY slower than IS350 for sure, but G35 6MT is just little slower than IS350,
please correct me if I'm wrong

well..the only difference is that bolt ons on G35 actually gives you some gain

IS350's take G35's and G37's all day, as said stock for stock. If I'm not mistaken the G35 is faster than a G37.

I thought G37S would be quicker since they have 330hp. I must agree it is fun dusting G35s, especially since everybody has one in the corporate jungle where I live.

They added hp to the g37 but also weight so in the end = the same or slower haha

i was debating on whether to buy a G35 or IS350 also....

but the only downside of IS350 is with the VQ there is so much aftermarket support for that engine

Sometimes I wish I didn't buy my is350 and bought a m3 e46 and mod the hell outta it, you gotta pay to play...even though i'll be at the dealership every other day

i have personal experience in this the i have 2 friends with G's one 03 and one 05 both MT and a friend with a G37MT all stock and one with a IS350 when he was stock the 03 and 05 pull along side him through 2nd gear with the 03 pulling just slightly harder (anyone know why? idk drivers i guess) the G37 also pulled through to 3rd gear and then is350 just took over G35, G37 comparison 37 takes it in 3rd gear most of the extra power the 37 has in all top end.. IS350FTW
