My "Loaner"

Well, dropped off the Coupe this morning to get the spoiler added (for free )

My loaner vehicle is.... A 2006 G35 Sedan.. has Sunroof option I guess... pretty basic.. car handles pretty well.. quick for a 4 door.. love the color too!

Is it me or is the 4 door seem a little slower (noted when I got the loaner). Or maybe because it is an auto vs. my manual.

They just called.. going to get my whip.

Yeah, it seems slower. (it is heavier) and a 4-door. This is also an automatic.
Nice car though.

As I know, Both a Coupe 5AT and sedan 5AT got the same 280HP.


For the Coupe & Sedan
6MT 298 @ 6,400 RPM
5AT 280 @ 6,200 RPM

+05' 6MT models are 298 hp. However, there are some who say the 298hp aren't any faster due to less torque.

I too was astonished at how enjoyable my loaner G35 sedan was, in spite of its less HP. It was a fun departure from the coupe!

I'm really enjoying my sedan. My previous car was a '97 Maxima, but prior to that, all my cars were coupes. I guess as I'm getting older I enjoy the convenience of the extra doors.

That's why I asked. Doesnt say in your sig.

*edit* but I guess it said in your first post

Everytime I get a loaner, I always get an '04 sedan....sometimes an X. I'm always hoping for an 05 or 06 so I can check out the changes.
