what does it matter?

the g is quick, but it's not fast. if you wanted a fast car, then you chose the wrong car.

The car is decently quick compared to the cars out there now but is by no means "fast" per say. Like these guys said, if you wanted speed, you got the wrong car.

since the STI and the evo are almost identical in terms of performance numbers, what makes you think that a G could keep up with an STI when it would get "smoked" by an evo? Secondly, we can spank an s2000. Thirdly, work on your driving first, but the G isn't all that quick. It's fairly heavy and is designed for sports luxury not as a sports car like the s2000 and the evo/sti's.

it's quick enough to let you get your giggles on, but it's no drag monster.

You have to think of it in these terms... the SRT-4 might get to the party before you... but you'll look better getting there. Also, you'll be able to afford to buy the SRT-4's girlfriend, since she will be a cheap skank. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA


i'm mostly kidding. Overall, the G35 is a more refined car for the street than the cars you are mentioning. It's got the looks and the go for a "proper" sporty car. But a traditional sports car, it's not.

ok~~ i want to make a point here......G coupe is a NA car., which u really can't compare with Turbo....u can compare with S2000 ,i would only say the S2000 is faster becuz of their very light weight design,

back to STI and Evo, if a G carry a turbo, i wont' be surprise u can smoke them both......agree?

NA / TURBO.....they r veryvery different~~

I always become puzzled on these. not towards you..but towrds the people that are like the "g is soo slow"

I mean do people think 350z, 07 mustang gts, 300c are slow?

I don't know if i will be allowed to post a video of me racing my buddies s2k. I don't know where this general idea came from that G35 is slower than the s2k. They are dead even cars in any speed. I have raced him from 70 to 130 and we could see each others faces the whole time. It was one of the closest races i have ever had. Keep in mind we can spank the s2k when the top is down but if its up then they are dead even with us.

The auto will lose to the s2k after 70 because that is the result i get every time i race an automatic and after 100 it gets really ugly for autos.
