G35 feels slow?
The g35 is a pretty quick car, no doubt but whenever I stomp on the accelerator the only time the g35 feels quick is if you stomp on the accelerator as fast as you can. If you dont step on the gas quickly, the G35 doesnt feel fast. Is this just me? or are there others out there?

Yeah, the G35C has good torque down low but it is a high-revving engine so you gotta be up there (in the rev range) to get the full experience. If you punch it from 1,000rpm's it will feel slow at first.
Go to manual mode and take it to 3,000 rpm for a few seconds. ECU and valve timing will make adjustments for better performance (but less gas mileage) and then just stomp on it...that should give you the engine's full potential.

Even if you punch it at high rpms it doesn't really kick you back in your seat.....my old Acura Cl-s and Celica "felt" like they were faster at 5k rpms, they really pushed you back in your seat. I'm thinking it feels different for me possibly because my previous cars were front wheel drive (so you feel the torque steer) and the torque on the G is more linear compared to my other cars.

I couldnt agree more with this tip...i drove my moms Yukon Denali for the past few days due to bad weather and was enjoying it very much...
...however upon returuning to my G (i have had the same feelings as you in the past...my g isnt fast, etc etc etc) i was super-surprised and very excited to feel how resonsive, quick, and when punched - how downright fast my G is!!!!!! 6mt Rules!!!
