So, my boss just bought a Volvo V70 R. 300 hp, twin turbo... blah, blah. If we were to find a place to safely pit his V70 against my stock (so far) G 35 6MT, Sport/Aero package, who would come out on top. His is an "AutoStick," while I am pretty proficient at the manual. It's all friendly, but I was just wondering if a FORD STATION WAGON, could take the beasty G35.

 

dont under estimate that car. ive been in one. its super fast. faster than my super pimp vdub!

seriously though, the twin turbo makes it feel so sportyyy

 

Oh, I don't underestimate the car at all. I drove it. FAST SOB! Although, the turbo lag was noticeable when I stomped on the gas. But then... BAM, like a rocket. I actually was pushing for him to get it... it suits his lifestyle and is really understated in it's power.

 

bah that **** is a ford your G will eat him.

 

Auto+boost = brake boost/no turbo lag. I'd watch out.

The KKK turbocharged in-line five is reportedly good for a 5.6-second 0-to-60-mph time, a claim that seemed entirely credible.

I LOVE these guages!

 

The guages on the V are damn cool. And the Sonic Blue paint is the best blue out there.

But it's still not a G.

And it's STILL a station wagon. A no-soccer-mom-holy-crap-thisaintyourdads-stationwagon. Wagon.

 

You have some curious views

Still not a G? Now the G is damn nice. But come on. It's not god's gift to the automotive world.

Station wagon? There are more than a few wagons I wouldn't mind sporting. This is one. A BMW 540I sport wagon is another. Hemi Magnum would be cool too.

 

Gauges.

 

We don' need no stinkin'

 

My folks have a Magnum. Fantastic car. And they're in their '70s. Mom always did like to drive fast.

And I drove an A3, which was fun, but front wheel drive... Nope. Now if they made an S3, that I'd drive!

 

True, but it was NISSAN's. I find that a lot of G owners (myself included) are fiercely loyal to the marke. I think the G Coupe and Sedan have a unique style the evokes a visceral emotion in me (and my wife). I have had the car almost a year and a half and I still find myself staring at it. It still quickens my pulse when I know I will get to drive it.

I love this car.

 

Ahmen, brother. I still sometimes wash it a week after having it detailed just to be able to, er, rub her down. She seems to like it. My wife will just have to get used to my polyamorous lifestyle.

 

while I have seen one G35 0-60 time of 5.6 seconds, I think it would be hard to reproduce. His automatic is going to shift perfectly so you better not make any mistakes. The only way you'll get him is to get a better launch and try to hold it. in the end if you do win, it won't be by much.

 

your polyamorous is someone elses polygamous

 

Auto+brake boosting+AWD = nice knowing you. hehe
