when you remove your trunk and tail lights just so you can reach into the crevices when washing your car.

 

When you floor it on the freeway... and look down seeing that your going about 100 on the dash easily!!!!

 

lol so TRU

 

+1... i do this ALL the time


I laughed so hard reading all these, oh man they couldn't be more true.
What amazing cars!
Jesus guys were ****ing awesome

 

When you walk out into the street and stare at your G just like everyone else that drives by.

 

Really? That's your argument? Neither of which are considered fast or even "quick" by the vast majority of the automotive world. Those are low-end, bargain bottom models for each of their manufacturers. If you think "well im faster than a 328i" is a respectable argument, you have no clue what a fast car is or should be. I'm not saying the G doesn't have some kick....but some people on here think it's a race car. Guess that's what happens when the resale value drops and kids start scooping them up as their first cars.

 

im faster then a lambergeeeenie. that should mean suhting. lighten up toots its a party.

 

im really not trying to argue with. im just trying to get my point across. the only reason why i was comparing it to a 328 and is250 is because you were talking like our cars could get it a$$ handded to it by a civic. my point is the G35 is not that fast but its not slow either.unless you go FI its mainly a cruiser with moderate umphh. i think we can agree on that. its not my first car and i didnt get a bargain on it either.

 

You said it was faster than other cars out there....I used the civic as an example of what a G is faster than. I never said vice versa. My point was simply that compared to a true sports car, ours are by no means fast. Sub 300hp on a vehicle with our weight is not all that impressive, and it shows on the track.

 

I'm new here so sorry if I rip an expert but a G35 coupe is a sports car. Dimensions , power, rear wheel drive and 6 speed. Is it a Porsche? - no - but look out on the road in the real world and in 2012 and it's undeniable it fits in the sports car class.
I think this is a group of the top .1% of knowledgable car enthusiasts -(most - some knuckleheads). The other 99.9% of regular people who use a car to get ftom point A to point B (see Prius sales) can't tell 17s from 19s, a 2002 Grand Cherokee from a 2012 ( just an example).

IMHO G35 meets the traditional definition of a sports car in every way, shape and form.

 

When you don't put any drink in your cup holder because it will mess up your shifting

 

...when your dad calls it a poor mans Mercedes.

 

When your window won't go all the way up because it needs reset.

 

Roll down the windows just to hear the exhaust notes....

 

You know you own a G35 coupe when...

Your parents don't like riding in it because it's too loud.

When you go out for a drive but end up feeling guilty for putting miles on it.
