Supras are ok, but not into them.
Oh yeah, ive been meaning to ask you guys and forgot, ok first
1.) an automatic G35 with engine work and a charger, will it hit 13's
2.) if the car is lowered with sway bars, strut bars, will 19 inch wheels rub the fenders, if not what wheel/tire size can you go without rubbing?
Thanks.

You can get into 13's with just bolt-ons
If you go forced induction, depending on how your setup is, with some slicks youll be in the 12's.
19's shouldnt be a problem at all. Many people here have dropped their G on stock 19's, and I mean a DROP
.Goodluck on whatevery choice you take

Someday I'd like to own a AMG type car as a weekend vehicle but I'm just getting started so there's lots of years left for that goal. As far as reliability and future reliability is concerned I'd buy Japanese or a newer car. G35 gets my vote for value.

I own my 07 g35 and i also own a 2003 clk 55. The amg is nice but compared to the 07 g35 the g35 is about the same speed if not a little faster and the amg does not handle as well. Mercedes has never been known for their handeling. I would do a little it newer g35 if the price is right.

nissan *** (dunno about american yet since they just got revamped) and toyota
porsche are the most reliable cars if not then its only out done by toyota, its just not my style
i love anything AMG! but used MB... get ready to fix things!
g35... i wouldnt drive one if i didnt love it + it will hang w/ the other 2
I own a 2003 G35 Coupe aswell as a 2002 Mercedes CLK55 AMG.. I would have to say I regret getting the AMG.. Yah it's fun and powerfull but it is honestly the worst car I have owned.. Problem after problem! currently it sits in my garage because of computer malfunctions... now the entire car will not start nor do anything.
Plus the servicing on these cars is insane! Up here in the great white north it will cost you near $8000 for a brake job at the dealership on the amg cars.
The G35 is a way better car all around imo.

^^^^ have to agree. AMG are off the wall when needing repair work.
I've seen some bills when I use to own my detail business. Crazy
was my thinking. tune ups/oil change $1400-$1850- CMON

I don't own none of the 3 mentioned, but coming from a different standpoint, I would choose the G35 just due to cost and maintaining it. Porsche makes great cars, and I don't believe in Automatics (DSG / SMG exception) unless you are disabled.
