I had to wait several months for mine to come since they were so hot at the time but I dont know how much that has tapered off with the new ones.

I think I've only ever seen maybe 3 or 4 other G35 Coupes with the Brembo Brakes(which means '03 or '04 6MT Coupes) in my state during the entire 4 years I've owned my car. I always look at other G35's too when I see them, so it's something that would get noticed.
I've never really thought about those numbers until reading this thread, but it does make me think that perhaps us '03 and '04 6MT Coupers do have a more rare configuration than one would initially guess.
That being said, I still don't consider 6MT Coupes a rare car... just less common than the autos.

I don't know about actually calling them "rare", but depending on the color and options some are fairly hard to find. That being said, the two post's above mine are going to fall into that list FOR SURE!
I have an 06 6mt in Laser Red, no nav, RAS, aero and Sport pkg, with WHEAT leather interior. Try to find ANY 07 AND UP 6mt's in Red with Wheat leather and you'll just as soon be able to walk on water!!!!!!!!! I'm just VERY glad that I found mine when I did and paid cash out the door while the getting was good. Why in the name of God did they decide that you have to have black or near black leather if you want the Sport model??? This alone could keep me from buying a new G37. I love the car, I can't however deal with black leather, makes the interior look much smaller. Oh, and the fact that it's hotter in the summer could matter to some. (I keep my car garaged and only drive it for pleasure so that's not an issue as it very seldom sits out in the sun unless it's for lunch with friends or something similar). Plus the lighter leather looks more like a luxury coupe.
Please guys... not looking for a flame war here, as I've seen plenty of coupes that look great with black interior. Just not red ones! Yet now if I want the sport package I MUST go with dark interior, period. Now I can go with the Journey package but then I've got to instantly spend several grand on different shocks, springs, and sway bars. Might as well go with a full coilover setup! That's BS. Might as well go for the C6 and be done with it.
