non existing?

This is my first post so I hope NOT to get flamed if this has been discussed before. Im looking to purchase a 04-06 G35x with a 6MT. Does this car exist or was I dreaming to think so? I searched the forum FAQ with no luck and I also searched through most of the sedan section. Thanks in advance for POSITIVE responses to the new guy.....

no problem at all. I think you'll find people here are only too happy to help.

might I suggest to you that you look into a RWD 6MT... they're...more fun

I live in Canada and we get an assload of snow, traction control and winter tires were all I needed!

thats an option for sure. we only get deep or bad snow a couple times a year here in Missouri but I was looking at the X ONLY because the wife my be in it every now and then and I did not want to worry about her in a RWD in ANY type of weather....

as long as she leaves the VCD (traction control) turned ON (its on by default) then you'd have absolutely nothing to worry about. you can't even chirp the tires with it on, you can take turns fully pinning the gas and it will prevent you from breaking traction. I let my fiance drive my G whenever she wants... although ever since we got her that smart car she never even asks to drive it lol!

Go with the RWD for yourself man, you won't regret it, and like I said the traction control will keep your wwife on the road. PS, dont ever show her this thread, she'll be insulted by your lack of confidence in her mad drift skillz

ACTUALLY, she is supposed to be taking some classes at our local race track. They do a road course class and well as some drag strip time for a couple hundrend bucks for a day or two day class. she is getting much better but since we are getting married, i TRY and think about her needs from time to time.....

I would beg to differ. I have no problems chirping the wheels with the VDC on. Heck it even lets me slide a little bit .

If you have to drive in a lot of traffic I would stick with the 5AT but otherwise the 6MT is a blast.

i'm in traffic everyday and I fail to see a time and place where a manual would be anything less than frustrating.

a stick shift in nyc is a very rare sight

back to the ORGINAL subject, i now understand that i can NOT get the AWD with a 6MT so my option is a RWD with traction control to have my manual tranny? i dont have much traffic to concern myself with so its irrelivent for this topic guys.
