^^ 1/10th in 0-60, not really, the extra 18hp give the 05 some high end advantage, but nothing you can notice in 0-60 or 1/4 mile times. People on here have been magazine racing, street racing, track racing, posting dyno charts and there was only one conclusion, the 05 isn't any faster unless you take a race up to illegal speeds.

 

Finiti35: As I said Im just guessing. A tenth is very tiny and although I haven't looked at the HP/Torque curve for the G35C, you certainly are going to get the benefit of the extra power before you hit 60 since redline will come and go before that speed is reached. For the street however torque is the real differentiator. I've driven some torque monsters like the E46AMG and the Z06, and these cars will really push you back in your seat when you hit the gas.

 

The fluid is ok...the pads and rotors stop working well, well before fluid temperature becomes a problem.

 

Well, I have an 05 it stops really well. As for the Brembos as a selling point on the 03-04? I would not buy it for the brakes alone since I saw the Stop Techs or similar BBK. Man, they look sweet. As far as I could tell, the braking distance is almost identical from the 03-04 to the 05 with Brembo's (I think the 05 had larger rotors). So, the Brembo's are nice but ask anyone that have seen the aftermarket ones and you will see some of those same Brembo's on Ebay :-P
