Get rid of an SRT for a G35?

Whats up guys! I currently have an 07 charger srt8, but I'm getting the motorcycle fever again lol. I am thinking of trading in the charger for a G35 coupe around 15k and also getting a GSXR 750 with the extra money. You guys know these cars better than anybody, is this a trade worth doing? Or just keep what I have?

Yea, I would. G35 looks nicer, is just as fast with less hp/tq but also a lot less weight so you'll get better handling, fuel economy, and a pretty decent interior. It will most likely be more reliable too, assuming the previous owner took care of it. JMO.

Well the Charger SRT8 is pretty much my dream (within reason) car so I'd say keep the SRT8...G35 you get a little more class and reliability, but lose a lot of speed. Imo the SRT8 is just a badass car, I'd keep it

The G35 isn't even close in terms of speed. SRT8's do 0-60 ~4.5 and quarter mile ~13.0

Your going to sacrifice straight line performance if you go with a G. But handling will certainly be approved. Familiarize yourself with the TSB's that are out there before purchasing so you know what to look for, there's a stickied thread somewhere that lists them all.

An SRT8 Charger is faster then a G35 by quite a bit...

Yea I messed up there, did a quick google and saw 5.5 and 14.0. Should've checked a second source.

I'd be sacrificing a lot of speed forsure, but the GSXR would even blow the charger away, so I thought that would keep me happy speed wise. I love my charger but gas wise it's terrible! It pretty much comes down to either wanting two still very nice toys or an extremely cool car with a ton of speed.

If I were you, I'd get the G35 and the GSXR. Plus, with 15k, you could probably get one with 60-70k miles which ain't bad at all on an Infiniti. But be careful on the GSXR... It only takes one accident.

Skip to :45

I might be biased because I love american muscle. But imo the charger srt8 is just too badass to let go of.

I think its a good move...with the g35 you lose straight line speed for good handling, more comfortable ride and slightly improved MPG....with the gsrx you get straight line speed that's faster then the charger

Do it man! No car that any of us can afford will ever stack up in terms of speed with a 750-1000cc sportbike. Get your pure speed kicks out of the bike and use the car for when you need to carry stuff/people, go on dates, or when it's raining out.

Plus it's always nice to have a second vehicle in case you have to do some work on one of them and need an alternate means of transportation to get you through that short duration of potential down-time.

You might miss the rumble of the V8 exhaust though, but the G35 has one of the best sounding V6 motors on the American market.

The G35 will last longer in the grand scheme of things anyways in terms of total miles you're likely to get out of the car when properly maintained. Just be weary of buying one of the Rev-Up motor G35's as those are more prone to oil burning problems.

Trade your G35 for my charger SRT8?

So probably gonna trade my 07 charger srt8 for a G35. I'll have to post on craigslist, but I figured I'd give you guys first shot at it. It has almost 70,000 miles on it, and has absolutely no problems mechanically on it. I'm looking for an '03 to '07, so chances are you would have to put some extra money down. Here's a pic of the car, you can message me for any more details. Thanks!

Great Deal!

Nevermind, I call you on this but realized you corrected the mistake.

I'd go with the G and bike.
SRT8s are sick but they still look like an SXT....

the looks of the G and the speed of a bike out weigh the charger in my opinion. i like srt8 chargers they are some sick cars but if it were me id go for the G and a sick bike

Interesting transition- you are well aware, I presume, that g35s don't have anything (stock) that will touch a hemi- right?

The charger with a 3.5 v6 is probably close to the same performance stock though isn't as elegant. I was looking at that very car when I bought ( without the stripes)- but it was the flair of the g I couldn't pass up.

Anyway- not interested but I've got to ask: what gives??
