Hi everyone I'm new to the forum.
I' have been looking to buy me a nice little sports car. I am 22 drove a 99 DeVille lol for couple of years and some suzuki 750's in my lifetime.
After looking at my options I ended up with 2 choices.
Infiniti G35 vs the C6

I know these are somewhat different kind of sports cars but I'm not just looking into power but styling/ quality also?!

Now from my point of view the infiniti g35 is a very well designed pice of machinery. I almost gave up on Domestics due to the fact that my deville had plenty of electrical problems. Not to mention its "northstar 32valve V8 motor" thats supposed to be so godly took a SHlT on me at only 40k. Then came the suspencion problems and interior started to crack down! IT WAS ONLY A 99 w/ 60k on it ...and my P.O.S. 1982 mercedes turbo disel 300sd Was kept outside for years and has perfect leather no cracks rips and is driven daily 80 miles. ahh makes me mad to even think!!!!

Anyhow my point is ... How reliable is a 400 hp loaded beast really.
I only take out my car on weekends and I like flashy nice things. Both of these cars have great styling even though the G35 is more of a Luxury/sports coupe and the vette is more of a true sports, sports car.

Now my question is.. has anyone owned both and can someone tell me the difference as far as BANG for the BUCK. also QUALITY RELIABILITY VALUE. All that good stuff.. I am affraid to buy domestic cars cuz that damn deville. I understand those V6 300 hp motors have their first major service at 105k!!!!! They have good reliable reviews that ive heard of and I don't know much of the quality of the GM"s please some input.

I appologize for the long post and my grammer english is my 3rd and last language learned =) Damn europeans lol maybe i should stick to my bmw or mercedes heh

 

get the c6

 

two diffrent cars, but in terms quality and reliablilty id give to the G, but for speed and looks get the C6, I honestly drove the C6 in auto, and i wasnt impressed i got borred really quick, i couldnt wait to get back to my lude

 

I love Japanese cars, much prefer them to American..But in this scenario..Vette is just a beast..HAVE to go with the C6

 

Bang for the buck would definitely be the G35 id say, the G35 is, to me, the most practical sports car ever. For how much it costs, its everything you could ever want. Corvettes just don't do much for me at all. I had a corvette when I was like 3, I loved it, but it was only a power wheels vette lol. If I had a choice Id most likely go for the G over the Vette. 400hp is nice, but eh...whatever lol. You should test drive em.

 

If money is no object, go for the 997. Better than the G and C.

 

I'd go the the vette. My brother has a 2002 Z06 and that thing is absolutely awesome. He's had it for a couple of years and no problems so far. I've had my G for 9 months now and it has a couple of rattles that are annoying. Those motors are very reliable and you can pound on them all day long.

G. vette's are overrated.

 

The C6 is awsome; but I have a friend that has 8K miles on his and it's already been to the shop twice for a persisting oil leak (yeah persisting, he said he pulled out of the garage this past Monday and noticed it is still leaking) and a rattle.

Get the G if you want qualitly or if cash is no object, get the BMW 6 Coupe!

Go for an M3, you cant go wrong

 

I hear Vettes are quite reliable. The engine(forgot the engine code... arrg) is very mod friendly and it's easy to get impressive power from it by doing just bolt-on mods. I would go for C6 over G35... if I had the money and didn't need to buy a daily driver, I would have done so.

 

1st go m3 then g then c6

 

Ignorant comment.

1. C6
2. M3 (e46)
3. G35

 

Not that it may matter, but, don't forget the Corvette is among the most expensive cars to insure as well. The gift that keeps on giving!


I hope you're not in Jersey!
