I think the interior and the sound of the car makes it sound like it can't take a beating. You really hear EVERYTHING the interior cracks and squeeks you can hear the engine scream and you can feel the car shift...you really feel and hear everything. The car can take a beating, but it just isn't as "tight" as a bmw or other luxury car.

I was kinda beating on my new G yesterday, and it started to smell like it was burning. (Did a little burnout at a stop light as i took off, nothing bad) and it stunk lol

I cant do many burnouts though, gotta keep these tires.

Just Click the links in my signature. I beat on my G like a borrowed mule...62,000 miles in two years. I live in my car and for almost 40K we all should. The heart is an adult sized 350Z, so beat on it...

I do daily...and for good reason...its a sports car.

the only axle I saw break was a Greddy TT with 517 to the wheels, I think youre good with your stock HP. lol

I had a 6 speed camaro before the G and i had NO problem beating on it and getting bent everywhere.

The G doesn't feel nearly as....rigid i guess as the camaro did. I'm worried somethings gonna break or my rev-up motor is gonna start eating oil lol

hmmm... how about keeping it on the track...AutoCross, Car Clinics....Drag Strips.? At least until you learn your car and its capabilities...

you wont hit walls, that way and you will learn a lot.

You will learn... most street cars dont turn well at 100mph..The G has nothing to do with it. lol

At least youre not dead, and you can complain about it.
