My girl's IS is manual and very fun, nimble as all get up. But the SC has 467rwhp with a rich tune and stretched tires(spins through 3rd). That's why it get's abused.

Get a G sedan 6spd and the tq will make the IS feel like a child's car.

I might be the only one, but I really don't care for G35's. Why not get a grand touring 350z? IMO they look a lot better, and they are basically the same car. The interior of the 350z is a million times better too.

Fair enough. It's your car, get what you like. I personally just like 350z's a lot more than G35's. But like I said it's not my car, and at the end of the day, you're the one making the car payment, so get what you want!

The lines of the G35 are bland, you would be taking a step down in the styling department.

How many G35's do you see on the street ? loads of em..... How many SC's do you see ? ....alot less

My advice... DONT DO IT !!
