Hummmmmm... more info to add to "what makes a sports car" thread....

 

He means because the letters in 350GT emblem are red, it looks sportier than chrome G35 emblem.

 

Got it, I would have to agree.

 

All ricers think that but no, the cars are vastly different. Google the expansive list of differences.

 

skyline badges-NO. but all Nissan badges throughout (seats, clock, steering wheel, mats, under the little poverty screen for the radio- you name it) would be pretty sick. at least for the ability to get all those parts!

 

I believe you were the inspiration for my signature

 

oh lawd

 

when u guys say the g35 coupe is slow wat are u guys comparing it too?

 

The speed of light.

 

Other cars

 

lollll the g35 is slow but it's the sexiest thing that you can buy for so little. I love mine it's all stock all what I added was rear mudguards and clear corners I been kept the oem look I added amber bulbs for my clear corners and tinted the windows it's beautiful as it is

 

Video was 2007, not 2012. Comparion of 2013 Camry vs 2013 G37 is much closer. They put down same times. More of a drivers race. But can you really call the G37 fast if it struggles to beat a Camry?

Also the defination of "fast" continually changes. You cannot set parameters as you see fit to justify your belief that you own a fast sports car. Back in early 80s, the Mustang 5.0 was the fastest thing on the streets with a whopping 185hp. Everyone knew it was fast, but no one would say that now. Does that mean we can only compare it to others 80s cars? I bought my first G35 in 04. Was it fast then? Yes. Is it fast now? Not a chance. Plus vast majority of people here didnt buy their car in 04 like me, they bought it within the last 1-2 years, so yes you would compare it to current cars.

I guess we can say it is a common ricer mentality to pick and choose parameters to compare your car with, to justify it. Like, "the G35 is the fastest car you can get for the money, from all cars between 2004-2006, under 20k, and over 3500 lbs, not counting the 350z"

 

It's not an "expansive list" of differences. A Maxima S and a Maxima SL have the same amount of differences.

Here's the list for those wondering:
the steering wheel/controls-OBVIOUSLY because it's in Japanese
the fuel/emmision system-again, different country so different emissions. Hell, Canada has the same clame to fame
different ecu-because petrol rates are different
different flywheel (duel mass)-ACTUAL difference
different shocks/springs-rates...different shock and spring RATES...because road conditions are different
different propshaft, -ACTUAL DIFFERENCE!!!
different indicators (yellow)-because DUH
different can-bus wires (lighting system)-obviously
different rear exhaust box-which is to be expected with different emissions
no rear fog lights-i'm not even sure this is a thing
front grill/badges-because..well...it's a Nissan
seat upholstry-it says nissan and they're the same as 350Z touring seats
tyres are different-for obvious reason
fuel neck restrictor-again, back to admissions
de-limiter is different-different country regulations


Soooooo, two ACTUAL differences between the 350GT and G35 and a long list of obvious differences between different friggin' countries. None of which are enough to justify not having the badge swap. That said, I still think it's ricey, but that's only because I know people that do it only do it to say they have a Skyline.
