OMFG...G35 Coupe...woo WOOO!!! part deux
Test drove the G35 Coupe yesterday. WOW! Now I know what all the hype is about.
It won't bury you in your seat like a Stage 4 WRX, but the engine is responsive and torquey.
The brakes were phenomenal! We did a 60-0 brake test in what felt like 50 ft. Pedal feel was great and the stability was incredible. This was my first experience with Brembos and they exceeded my expectations.
The suspension and handling blew me away. 1g on the skidpad but it won't rattle your brains or make my son look like a bobble-head doll. They also managed to that w/o having that monstrous rear strut bar taking up back seat/trunk space.
I won't even go into the fit and finish, or the looks. Coming from a WRX it's a definite step up.
I know it's WTLW, but this car is seriously badass. I think my brother's going to pick one up today and I may have to follow suit.
woo WOO!

that car is really nice although a little to luxurious for me. when I was in HI, I took my dad's G35C up to Tantalus. It was a lot of fun although I was surprised to hear/feel the inside rear spinning on the hairpins. I thought it had LSD. Do they have viscous LSDs?
I heard that they changed the center console to a better one and added some more standard features. Sorry for the huge image.

Hold your urge to use profanity, please. It is not that hard. There are plenty of words to use other that F this and F that.
We all can swear. We all are hella cool. We are all bad ***.
Try to be understanding and respectful of my little request NOT TO SWEAR OR USE PROFANITY IN ANY WAY OR FORM.

The 2 doors is what kept us from buying one of these. We need 4 doors and really the only sportscar with 4 doors that has a ton of power was the WRX/STi. G35 would be good once the kid doesnt need the booster seat and all that. Told the wife I wanted an Elise in a couple years when the kid is outta the booster seats. Not I gotta get the kid to grow up faster.
