Hope this is not a repost.
Put it here, instead of the 2007 section--since more people will see it here.

The G35 is the lone Japanese offering in this bunch, but it does a good job of representing the land of specific output. Buy the manual transmission, rear-drive version, switch off the traction control, and learn to use both feet for warranty-threatening, intersection-fogging fun.

As opposed the automatic FWD version

 

re-COG-nize!

 

I agree. I can't keep traction with my stock tires on.

 

VDC saves my *** sooo much in the rain.. I drive so aggressively, I still make the car lose control with the traction control on. Without it, I'd be smashed into some parked crap right now.

 

"Ten perfectly good cars that will lay waste to 20 perfectly good tires."

Quote of the Day.....i love it.

 

this is awesome....yea, stock tires are crap.......im too lazy to turn VDC off and i still peel out when its dry outside

 

interesting...stock tires are cardboard for sure! my vdc helps me out usually on puddles! if im going to lose control its on purpose and the vdc will be off

 

VDC saved me last night entering a strip mall from the main road... I didn't punch the gas hard or anything, but just accelerated through the turn and lost traction... would have spun all the way around, but VDC did it's job...

It was wet, and I think the tire was on a painted crosswalk...

 

Probably as opposed to the auto AWD version.

 

hehe...i take the on and off ramps so fast (50 to 65 mph) my slip light turns into a disco light. I could feel the wheels slipping, but my vdc always wins. (for now).

 

why not just say manual transmission model, that eliminates the auto rwd, auto awd. You can't purchase a manual awd
