G is a heavy pig

 

??Isn't the platform frame the same on both the sedan and coupe

 

yes it is.... But the coupe has two less supports right in the middle of the car (no door pillars).

 

I wouldn't say so. What are u comparing to?

 

not comparing just stating facts.

 

Lets see
IS350 - over 3500 lb
BMW 3 series - ~3400 lb
Audi A4 - over 3600 lb
CTS - over 3500lb

Is it heavy? Yes.
Compared to its class? not at all.

 

^ Ditto. With all the safety features on the new cars it's hard to find one that would be considered "light". Hell even the small compact cars like the solstice and sky aren't that light

 

is350- faster
bmw 3 s(335i- faster
Audi- awd
cts- new model maybe faster
G35- slower*and were lighter.

comparing to my coupe. don't get me wrong I love my G but wish it was a little lighter or more hp stock.

 

forgot to mention. the G feels unbeatable in the top end for some reason. I know its not but it brings a chezy smile to my face.

 

IS350 fast 0-60. 60 and up I will put my money on the 07+g35 any day of th week
335 - faster, i agree
Audi - still lacks in handling department
CTS - not faster i will guarantee it

The bottom line is G35 is one of the lightest ones and faster than most of them in strait line. Weight is usually brought in when it comes to handling of the car and that is where i was going to. Handling wise stock 07+ g35 will give the 335 run for its money and trash the others in that department.

We are getting kinda off topic here but when people say G35 is a pig, u obviously made the wrong choice if u wanted a light agile car. 113 inch wheelbase won't help the car to "feel" light even though it is beneficial in high speed cornering.

 

i was comparing to the coupe as in performance stand point. 07 sedan is of course the fastest G. i didnt buy the car for handling, or weight. I bought the car cause i couldnt stop staring at it. I had to have it.

your right about being the lightest in its class. when i first stated "its a heavy pig" cause you would think its a light car, but when you see the specs they surprise you.
as another person stated; all the extra safety features cars have to offer now make vehicles heavy.

 

Well when I was at the track "Crofton Raceway" in MD...with no back seat, no spare tire or jack and a about 1/4 tank...slightly less with me in the car it weighted 3540lbs. And I weigh 240lbs...so I guess 3300lbs....thats still heavy!

 

its a known fact... been that way from day one

bigger heavier doors, more structure reinforcement since there is no B pillar, its a heavy pig.

 

very fat
