Brembo stops u V fast but not really an OEM so expect noise/ vibration issues compared with the big boys.

Quote: Thanks for your inputs. I test drove the 03 G auto vs manual, there was a signficant difference between the two. Maybe it was psychological, since I am used to manual. But the sale rep at Grubbs said they made significant improvements on the 05 autos. I guess it is true. I'll test drive a few just to make sure.

Does anyone know the 1/4 times between the auto and manual???
Unless you are going to spend time at the track, 0-60 is meaningless, response is what is meaningful and the stick gives you better response than the auto in that you can rev it as high as you want to take advantage of the torque curve. The auto may be faster 0-60 because you just step on the gas while you have to make 2 or 3 shifts to get to 60

The Automatic in the G35 is great like that.. If you floor it, it will shift right below redline. If you are in lower RPMs, it will downshift and ride the lower gear right up to redline for you. I was really impressed by that since a lot of the automatic cars I am used to wont downshift like that on you unless you really slow down and then gun it.
