Just test drove the 03 g35 coupe and, It's not FAST ?

I was in a str8 line and tryed to burn out and floored it and it deff did not burnout maybe very little. The car in general does not seem to have as much power as i thought...

Sounds to me like you had the traction control on, which trys to stop the wheels from spinning. Dur!
WOW!

So how can I turn the traction control off, of the 03 coupe automatic ?
And how does it differ when it comes to driving without the traction control ?
Is there a noticeable acceleration difference ?
One last question is it a good deal for 23 out of the door it has about 43K and is in good condition .......

Thanks ya all........

If you think its a good price go for it. Its all up the buyer, I just saw an 04 at the dealer with low miles that was 24K but there are so many factors that go into pricing of the car. The traction control is a push button switch on the bottom left of the steering wheel near the dimmer wheel. Unless overridden, it will come one everytime the vehicle is started. GL.

Yes!!!

I was new to G too until like 2 months ago and i only find out about the VDC like a week ago (Silly me) anyway, turning the VDC off is like riding a new car. REleasing the monster within, Totally different feeling!

I'd rather to have my VDC on all the time, it helps when you are fast cornering or slippery road. It saved me couple times from spinning....yup!!
