About the Coupe's weight...

Could a few people do me a favor and check the inside of your driver's side door for your G's weight? It's located on one of the two stickers.

The official posted specs say a 6MT G35c should weigh 3435 pounds and a 5AT should weigh 3442 pounds.

The sticker on my door says my G weighs 4360 pounds, but you're supposed to subtract 180 pounds for each passenger you can hold. However, that only gets me to 3640 pounds. I do have the AT (which apparently weighs 7 pounds more) and the Nav, but I'm using the smaller and presumeably lighter wheels and am not lugging about any of the aero pieces. The various components for the Nav couldn't possibly weigh 200 pounds, could they? Maybe they screwed up and counted it as a 5 seater? That would put me at 3460, and I can definitely buy that the nav stuff weighs about 20 pounds.

This is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), the combined weight of the car and payload that the manufacturer states that the G35C can safely handle.

Re: About the Coupe's weight...

correct, do not judge your cars weight by those stickers.

Those are the maximum numbers your car can handle and not the actual curb weight.

My sticker says 1985 kg. which is about 4380 lbs. This is the total load of vehicle + passengers + luggage.
From my brouchure it states the leather + 6M/T is 3440 lbs
The A/T model will be slightly more.
