Looking to Buy a 2005 G35 Coupe

Im going to be buying a 2005 coupe this weekend. I see that there is a sport tuned suspension package offered. I can get the standard automatic coupe for $26,500 from a dealer right by my house or pay $28,000 for the same color automatic coupe but with the sport package but have to drive 20 miles each way. Does the sport tuned supsension package make that much of a difference??? I am planning on putting installing a plenum, intake, headers and exhaust. Also is the differntial that comes in the standard automatic g35 coupe much different than the viscous limited slip differential offered in the sport tuned suspension package?? Any input is greatly appreciated!!

never driven one with sports package but I believe the only REAL difference is the 19's and LSD...if you can live without those then save your money...I personally didnt care for the 19's that much...

Go for the sport suspension..............

Make the longer drive, the results will be worth every mile! How many miles
on the clock for $28K? For that price shouldn't be much over 25K miles!
Keep in mind it's an '05 and the '08s will be out soooon.....maybe 90 days.

the milage on the one by my house is 24k and the one that has the sportpackage has 17k miles. How does the vlsd compare to the standard one. Say if i nailed the gas from a dead stop what would the difference be?

Congratulations! The 2005 is the best model year to buy used. The Lightweight 19'' wheels, better interior, remote start and door handle start. To answer your question the sport suspension handles like your on rails but, your tires will wear quickly. The camber is modified a bit in the suspension. If you can get the full aero kit with spoiler because it looks better with it. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
