what are the 0-60 times on the new 298hp g35 in manual and the 280hp automatic (both with the sport suspension)? Just curious the difference I'm buying one in the next couple of weeks but traffic is really bad in the DC metro area so I'm at a crossroads so to speak. Anyway ballpark estimates or factual numbers would be great. I've also never had a manual car so it makes the decision even more difficult.

The 05 Z Track Model was tested at 5.3 0-60, 13.77 1/4mile recently on caranddriver or motortrend. You should expect the '05 G to come very close to those marks.

 

i doubt there will be a big difference... The 6MT would be slightly faster but that would depend on the skill of the driver. Just launching with the 5AT will be worse than with the 6MT. If you're tracking your car then i'd get a 6MT but just for daily driving and road racing, the 5AT would probably be adequate... I wouldn't worry about those 0-60 numbers much as it all depends on the driver and conditions when the test were run...
