I'd say the 37 was slightly more fun to drive (50 hp - doh), but clearly I didn't think it was that big of a deal.

Yeah the 37 looks like it sits higher. It definitely needs a kit where the 35 looks good with or without a kit. I'm talking stock of course. All that stuff gets cured when an enthusiast gets their hands on one.

I can't believe you can pick up an 05-06 g35 coupe for low-mid twenties. I'm going to have to test one out soon.

BTW, the reason I'm even asking this question is that I haven't heard too much about the coupe's driving characteristics and I've never really heard it described as fun to drive, although I have heard that about the g37 coupe.
I came from a Toyota Tundra so you can imagine the fun factor for me when I got into the G. I have driven the G37, while it is nicer on the inside, I feel it still leaves something on the table performance wise. It does not have the wow factor that I got when I first drove my G35. I love my coupe and I do not think you could pay me to get rid of the car. Good luck with it bro...I do not think you will be dissapointed.
