^^^+1 That is the truth. Make the G a stock turbo, and this would be a different story. Very nice vid, made me feel warm inside.

mcy nice vid...... and btw, our cars are not that fast compared to a stock turbo.... the only reason why they need the turbo is b.c the are inherently slow.......
so don't feel bad..... what you need to do is fi your car and then we're more on an even playing field.....

Great point.

IMO: Lame car(looks, quality, and lack of luxury) but hooked up engine.

Rather have the "all-in-one" car= G35.
Not too concerned about losing a street race.....

yea i had no idea how fast my car was only becuase the power on a supercharger is so linear and i was used to boost from a turbo. Not to mention how smooth our Gs ride compared to normal street cars all in all accelerating in my G with the Pro charger seems like driving with ms daisy. That evo is a 13sec car pretty much all day long hopefully i can run mid 12s this weekend =). Our cars arnt fast but they sure arent slow either. Moderate speed and handling + sexiness =G35

Just a street race? How bout any race at all? lol...

I admit my car isn't that fast (Turbonetics ST), but I hate it when people throw you lower in the food chain.. when talking bout speed etc.. What are you going to say in defense? "I got leather yo"

I dream bout an Evo 9 allll day... White, no wing.. MMM.

My buddy had an STi and he talked so much trash about my G... but you know what?

With the price and styling of the G35 Coupe, there is NO comparison in my book. I do wish our G's were a little faster but I am definitely more than satisfied by their beauty and decent performance. Sometimes I think that with the money for the G and the mods, I could've bought and STi AND an EVO! lol. I still would've chose this route. Rally cars aren't my style.

1.5 car lengths, so what. Your G is pimpin.

Oh well, you win some you loose some...Evos may be faster cars, but in essence it's still a Lancer right? lol...They might whoop the G's in speed but they sure as hell will NEVER look better I don't care what body kit or rims you put on em'...And besides, they ain't appealing...you had a girl with you, he didn't, lol, every girl i asked when making my decision to buy an evo or g said evo's look like hoopties...when i showed them the g they were like wow you can afford that? so i'm gettign mine in june
