congrats on the new purchase!

 

I had an 03 sedan 6MT with the sport suspension. Compared to the 06 6MT coupe I have now; first the suspension feel tighter and it shifts smoother through the gears. I never got to drive a coupe with the brembo brakes, but compared to my sedan, these brakes are not as touchy. The sport seats in the coupe have much more support. One interesting point, which means absolutely nothing, I have a Valentine One radar detector. In the 03 sedan I used the 12v outlet in the front and ran the wire under the dash to a point above the mirror, the supplied wire made it and was completely hidden. In the coupe I had to run it from the cigarette lighter, under the dash, to a point by the mirror. The wire can be seen in spots and just barely makes it. The coupe is smaller then the sedan?? Go figure!! In driving the two cars, the coupe is all around a smoother performer. When I drove lite on the gas pedal, the sedan tended to want to slow-up; in contrast, the coupe starts to roll away. It kind of feels like it is picking up speed. Of course there is much less roll while cornering, but there is a lot more road noise. With hard acceleration in the sedan I could feel the g-force, in the coupe I don’t feel it as much, I guess that’s the difference between 270 ft/lb (03 sedan) and 260 ft/lb (06 coupe) torque, but I can feel that the coupe is faster. Except, I really have not pulled the coupe hard off the line yet. I want to put some more miles on the engine first. Overall I’m very pleased with the performance of the coupe in comparison. My wife had me questioning my decision to sell my sedan because there are not very many 6MT sedans out there, but after having the coupe for only a week and a half I’m glad I got it. After a year driving the coupe….. we’ll see if I’m still happy with my decision to sell the sedan. With the rumors of a new G35 coupe for 2007 maybe I’ll feel like I should have waited….NOT!! lol. Hey, there’s a thread on the comparison of the 03 – 05 spoiler to the 06 spoiler. IMO the 03 – 05 really looks like a wing, the 06 is a spoiler. I think the spoiler fits the coupe better then a wing. The G35 coupe is a classy looking performance car, that kind of car needs a spoiler. The Porsche 911 is an aggressive looking performance car, that kind of car needs a wing, take a look;https://g35driver.com/forums/other-cars/83828-my-other-ride-s-mods-complete.html. Hey, that just my opinion. Before the 06 spoiler was out I loved the 03 – 05 spoiler, I wished that the sedan spoiler was the same at the time.
