Not fast when compared to what? While it may not be the fastest car out there, IMO it holds it's own. The car is fast enough for what it is, and she will be even faster once she is boosted.

BTW I abuse my G on a daily basis, and she keeps coming back screaming for more.

IS30/G35: Helluva first post bud!!

If thats true, then you arent even utilizing the G's full potential, bro. It looks great but it also runs great. That doesnt mean redline it but 3000rpm?

Then again, to each his own. I guess it is still great knowing its there when you want it so...

beating on it would be redline every day.... to me anyway

and think of it like this.... beating on your car increases your heart rate so you can tell yourself it's exercise..... the more frequently you increase your heart rate, the healthier your cardiovascular system is..... which would you rather break first? the G? or YOU? haha
LMBO!!!!!!!! Great point!!!

It's a sports car. I take it to just under red a few times a day and I drive with the VDC turned off, since I often get a little slip on a turn once in a while.

Beating it would be hitting the limiter on a regular basis and slamming every shift and dropping the clutch hard all the time.

1. Burnouts
2. Drifting
3. Donuts
4. Launching
etc...

I don't think red-lining is really beating on the car. It's there for a reason. Of course if you're red-lining every shift that's a different story. Every now and then shouldn't be considered beating on it.

HMMMM WHEN DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE VDC IS TURNED ON? BECAUSE WHEN I PUSH ON IT..IT DOESN'T CHANGE WHAT IT READS (THATS IT'S OFF) AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG?? I'VE HAD IT OFF SINCE I'VE BOUGHT IT

The G sounds natural and in it's groove when you sail past 5k on the tach. I remember my '99 Z24 Cavalier feeling and sounding like it was complaining at anything past 4k. That car made me feel like I was abusing it whereas the G rewards me for being enthusiastic.

I beat the hell out of a 2008 3.2L A4 tonight and it was fantastic. 400 miles on it, redlined it the entire night and tested out the brakes. They work especially well when slamming on them at 60
