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.
Except for the fast part. LOL Take a stock G35 to the drag strip and try to prove to everyone that a high 14 second car is a sports car. Just saying.

Not here to argue though...if you think you're driving a true sports car, all the more power to you. Granted, I think it's a great car, just not that impressive speed-wise. I guess in todays day and age, a true sports car is hard to come by, therefore compact entry-level luxury cars can slip under the radar.

When you can spot another G from the rear(taillights and bumper) down the street 40 cars ahead of you.
And then try to pass them so they can see your G.

You know you own a G35 coupe when...

- Your sitting in the driver seat which is higher than the bar stool you just left... and you're still reaching up for the (bus driver) steering wheel.

- Science is jealous because 18 hours after it rains water can still get in your car

- Exxon is buying shares in Infiniti

- You get defensive realizing you bought a touring car

- Jeep oddly has a shortage on transmissions while G35's are selling like hot cakes

- Professional weightlifters can't open the door.

- In 2007 internet punks are figuring out ways to fix problems with the G35 that world renown engineers can't.

- Virgins want their 8 seconds back

Fun debate. So some say it's not fast. Compared to what sports car standard? I googled Porsche 911 1/4 mile times and found a list near the top that said "2007*Porsche 911 Carrera** 0-60 mph 5.1** Quarter mile 13.6". I picked that car as to me it's the epitome of a sports car. I think that time is about 1 sec faster than the 07 G35 6MT.

Not saying it's a Porsche just saying fast is relative. Thanks for the debate.
