Sport Z Magazine Editor-In-Chief a turncoat?! (cross post)
A deserter? A traitor? Not exactly. I still (and always will) love the Z. But with my typical snowboarding season running eight months of the year--from October to May--I needed a vehicle to carve up inclement mountain roads like a hyperactive snowcat on a quadruple shot of espresso. So I ordered a G35x from Grubbs Infiniti and had it delivered to my home in Albuquerque, NM.
A couple items of note. This will not be a magazine project car per se. But as G35 readership in SZM grows, we hope at some point to start a project G. For those interested in contributing to the magazine--from article ideas (Gs we should feature, new products, tech requests) to writing feature stories--e-mail me directly at editor@sportzmagazine.com or hit up G35 Editor Dave Ochenreider at DaveO@sportzmagazine.com.
We just put to bed the newest issue of SZM; look for a preview shortly. With 280 hp eagerly waiting to tear out of the garage, getting out the Summer 2005 magazine on time took more willpower than I expected. Needless to say, I’m excited to have joined your ranks as a G35 enthusiast--it'll be a fun ride.

Everyone keeps asking that, but if you study Nissan's approach it'll make sense. They (Nissan) will not release a car that will impede the GT-Rs launch and ultimate success. A six-speed, AWD G35C would kill the GT-Rs launch if released before. I say after a model year or two, they'll offer the Coupe with the GT-R's underbelly.

Just an FYI, speaking of an AWD G35 coupe, we do have some tidbits on an AWD coupe in our upcoming Summer 05 issue, as well as some details on a new single turbo kit for the coupe that has yet to be announced (and it's not APR). Look for Dave Ochenreider's post on the new issue later this week...
