The fact is if you are buying a G35 for speed then you might want to look else where for the money you are about to spend...There Quarter mile times are embarrassing and after I owning a manual 2000 Saleen S-281 driving a Auto is a dream! Don't give up your ride quality...The last thing you want is to leave off the lot with your brand new 2006 6MT G35 with your wife in the car and you are telling her how fast your car is and a 19 year old kid pulls up in a $22,000 03 Cobra and spanks you so bad that it looked like you put your car in reverse.. Go for the Auto and know that these cars are LUXURY CARS not some 18 year old punk kid race car with fat mufflers on the back.....
I agree with absolutely everything you said. I feel like I'm talking to myself. I know these cars are the fastest or lightest out there. I had a Mustang before, and my "realistic" dream car for 2 years straight was an 03/04 Cobra. Then at the last minute I decided on the 350Z. Go figure.

Vette are crazy fast & aerodynamic as well. My brother's had two hardtops.

As far as all the reliability talk I was getting at. Well, it's just from my own personal mishaps with my current car. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 350Z's 6MT identical to the G35's? If so, that is why I've been standoffish.

To answer the real questions which no one really seems to want to answer, yes the G35 has the same tranny and yes the G35 does suffer from all the same exact tranny problems as the 350Z. The problems just aren't as common because they're aren't as many G35 6MTs. The new 05+ 6MTs appear to have a valve in the clutch master cylinder as to limit hard launches. You can find a lot of posts about guys launching thier 05+ 6MTs, only to have the clutch stick to the floor and slip a bit.

The JATCO 5AT is the same exact tranny that serves duty in the Titan and Q45. The 5AT is more than up to the task of the G35's power.

Thank you! This was extremely helpful. I didn't even think about how there are so few G35 6MT's compared to the numerous 350Z 6MT's everywhere. That would explains a lot right there. So my fears of purchasing another car with the same transmission are legitimate at the very least.
