2006 6MT coupe vs 2003 5AT coupe
No, it's not a street race thread.
The short version of this story is that I'm currently in possession of two G35 coupes. The newer coupe is a 2006 6MT with nav and rear active steer, purchased for about $30K out the door used. I'll be slowly moving the mods from the white (2003) one to the blue (2006) one.
The 5AT is a smoother ride. Acceleration seems to be the same, but I have a few bolt ons on the 5AT. It dynoed 277 at a local dynapack where stock Rev ups are just under 270. It also has less creaking when going over bumps, but I suspect that my GT spec mid chassis brace has helped this.
The 2006 interior is much better, but it still suffers from the driver's seat tending to get worn out.
I already moved my headlights over to the new one.

Just to clarify, I own both cars, but I'll sell the 03 at some point.
The 06 has 20K miles, so it still has plenty of warranty left. I carfaxed it before purchase, at least from what I can find, looks to be a clean title.
I can't tell any difference with the RAS at this point. My 03 has Pilot Sport 2's on the front 245/40/18 and Pilot Sports on the rear 265/40/18, and it handles quite well.

Do you have any night time pics with the headlights? Possibly looking out the window from inside the car, and from head on?
