You can't compare the quality of a G35 to the vete. The G is way out of your league. I would suggest you wait until the new G35 to come out next year. As for performance, you can easily slap on a turbo and all of the turbo goodies and make the G significantly faster. Turbo kits for the G start around $4500 and go up to around $8000 (the greddy twin turbo kit is said to be able to produce nearly 800 hp).

 

I currently have both and they are completely different cars. The G35 is more GT, while the C5 is more sports car.

The G is heavy and not particularly fast, but it rides nice, handles and brakes well and makes a nice daily driver. The fit and finish in the G is far superior to the C5 as are the seats (even the sport seats which I have in the C5). The G is tight and mostly rattle/squeak free. With the exception of the clutch pedal and shifter, NVH is minimal, even with the 19" rims.

My C5 has the Z51 suspension, so the ride is harsh. The car gets hot inside after extended drives and it rattles and creaks even though it only has 40k miles on it. But it's a far better performer out of the box with better acceleration, handling and braking. For me, it's not a good daily driver because it's simply not comfortable enough. Mine is mostly for track use.

So, to answer your question, depending upon what you are looking for, each car will satisfy you in a different way.

 

This thread was started in July of '05. I'm pretty sure he's already made his decision by now.
But if you wanna go on discussing details, go ahead. Just keep in mind the Original poster ain't listening. haha It's still an interesting thread.

 

I wonder what he wound up choosing...?

 

Who makes Vettes??? Chevrolet does!
Who makes G's????? Infiniti does!
There you go! Don't think twice before switching to a G!! LOL
I'm just kidding! Although I have a G, I think corvettes are awesome!! Especially the Z06!! That car is sick!!!!!!!!!!!

 

sorry... nissan builds the G.
