R6Clan.....as far as I'm concerned you got one of the best AWD packages around. The G35X rocks!!!!!!

Moreover, what you get more than a 4WD car is:
- the fun of a true sports car (RWD) since you are basically at 0:100 unless if you are launching or loose traction
- Traction, traction and a lot of traction since the system can send ALL THE TORQUE to the wheel or drive shaft that need it to keep your car in control.
So why would you want to have a full time AWD car when you have a more intelligent version of it that can give you alot more (alot more than best of both worlds).

Wow, thanks guys for giving me information about the AWD in such words. Now I know I really got myself a GREAT car to look foward to. I really do feel good now and these words really ease my mind as well, thanks again.
The only thing now is DANG it sucks up GAS lol. I hope this is normal for everyone. On a FULL tank, city driving, I'm getting 270mpg, does that seem about right?

Side note, 270mpg ? you mean 270 miles per tank right?...

The above statement was correct, at it's maximum only 50% of the cars power can be transferred to the front wheels. Also on the '07 G35X's there is a differential that can transfer power from side to side. To clarify some misinformation about the snow button, it only locks the car up to a 50/50 split up to 12.5 mph. The snow button is intended to help you accelerate away from a stop when traction is needed the most, but once you are up to speed (past 12.5 mph) the cars reverts back to a functioning AWD system. I personally think Infiniti's Attessa System is one of the best on the market, I mean if you think about it why would you want a full time AWD system when you can have a much more intuitive system such as that found in the Infiniti's. By being able to go 100% RWD, you still get the sports car feel but the AWD practicality when you need it.

Lots of factors go into that. Do you live up north here where we've been getting blow-zero weather? Mostly city or highway driving? I've seen that cold temps affect gas mileage pretty badly. Also, with the 20-gallon tank, I'm assuming you're not driving it down to empty, but maybe used anywhere up to about 17 gallons. Assuming that, you probably get about 16 mpg, which if mostly city driving, would be just 1mpg below the EPA rating. For comparison, my wife's RX300 that's EPA-rated at 18mpg City/22mpg Hwy gets only about 15mpg's in this weather...ouch...

, by keeping it RWD when you had side G's. I don't think the X can do that though. I could be wrong.
awd system form the r34 skyline.... 50/50 on launch and low traction areas, to 0/100 for high speed straights....
ever played that wannabe gran turismo on xbox (racing forza, IIRC), when you choose gtr r34, it has a dynamic graph/meter of the torque split showing how power is being applied... i'd with gt3/gt4 had that on my view....

There are some good articles about it,:
http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:...lnk&cd=4&gl=us
Basically,
Normal start default is 25% Front, 75% rear. (Not 50:50), but
ECU adjust the from/rear split as fast as 1/100 of a second if slip is detected.
& could send 50% to the front if necessary.
Snow start, two things happen:
1, The default split is 50:50
2, the Throttle is reduced to cause a slower start.
For fast launch, one should not use the snow start.
This is the sytem used in AWD GTR, so be proud about it.

Look I'm new to the car and just want to learn more about the car dude. If you don't want to give good advice then just simply hit the back button on your browser and poof you don't have to, it's as easy as that. Anyways like I was saying I'm new to the car and site and just wanted to know more about these cars. I really don't think that's to much to ask and I thought this fourm was to teach those newbs like me some knowlegde about these cars. Thank you.

Yes the AWD system is great in snow (although this year I can't prove it). It is also great in rain and other slippery conditions. May be your friend thought he might have to put it in AWD manually at some point. The system makes these decisions better and a lot faster than we can.
I occasionally use the Snow button on starting out. On of the "problems" of the car is the large amount of power and this can cause you to slip with too vigorous acceleration. Heck, my 6-cyl 2002 Subaru wagon can do a little fishtail in snow if I mash the throttle hard.
Enjoy your purchase and tell your friend to reconsider!
