Well, my brother-in-law finally got a pretty sweet car after talking about it for years. He picked up a Infinity G35 Coupe (Picture below). It's a pretty sweet car; although his claims that it does 0-60 in 5.5 seconds are a little far-fetched. I know it's more like 6.1 or so- plus he has the 5-speed auto which has 20 less horses than the manual. Anyway, I was messing around with him at a stop light yesterday and took it to him off the line. I slowed down after I got up to about 45-50 and was still ahead. I'm not sure if he doesn't know how to drive or what, but we both have autos and I did brake torque it a little at the start. But to be honest, I drove the car and I wasn't really all that impressed. The engine is nearly 2 times the size as mine (at 3.5 liters, I guess more like 1.5 times), and it didn't really feel all that quick. It felt more torquier than quick. Anyway, I just wanted to gloat a little bit about taking him at a stop light. Also, I still don't think I'd trade my car for his; unless I traded it and sold his and then bought another 2g and put $15,000 into it :).

They seem to have alot more torque and better top end than my dsm did. But that is just in my opinion. We have a couple 350z (brother to the g35) and I driven the auto-stick and the manual and the manual is alot faster.

Plus I think its better eye candy but I wouldn't drop the 30-35k to buy one. I'd much rather have a MR instead :)
