Well...I finally decided to keep my g... I will now install my signal side mirrors. After all...I love my g. What was I thinking wanting to get rid of it...

 

<p style="margin-top: 1; margin-bottom: 1">I too was tempted do buy an Evo, but
damn $30,000 for an econo. Yea its turbocharged and yea its fast, but not
$30,000 fast. <a href="http://search.ebaymotors.com/search/search.dll?GetResult&query=evolution&from=R8&ebayt ag1=ebayreg&siteid=100&s_partnerid=2&tmp=6000&st=2 &category1=6001&categorymap=6001&Top10=&SortProper ty=MetaEndSort&catref=C1">Especially
some hard headed dealers that are asking over 30G's for it</a>.</p>

I was only tempted to buy as a 2nd car, just to race the hell out of it for
the fun factor.<img src="https://g35driver.com/w3timages/icons/smile.gif" width="15" height="15"></p>

 

at least he wasnt asking whether he should trade his G for that turbo charge neon!

Instead of the Evo, wait for the 300 HP Impreza WRX.

Why on earth would you think to get rid of the G for a pocket rocket?

There is absolutely no comparison. Keep in mind if you want to go fast, there will always be a faster car than yours.

Plus you are more likely to get a ticket, or worse yet, killed.

Glad you are keeping the G!

actually
i find the EVO much safer then the G35 in terms of handeling...

i always feel the G35 is insecure, especially on hard corners... the car feels like it's going to break lose...

i never have that feel with the evo... total confident of the car... the G still cant give me that feeling

Interesting. Roadholding and handling have been one of the G's best reviewed attributes.

the G is still on the soft side in terms of suspension tuning, also it's a RWD car, it will never hold as good as an AWD.

the biggest and worst part of the G35 sedan is the tire selection...

they are too tall and narrow and CRAPPY.... those stock EL42 doesnt even grip on try road.... and it makes the car roll so much...

after using the coupe's set up F225 R245 the car is totally different.

but still not near a EVO......

btw, the ride in EVO is VERY harsh...

 

The Turanzas are only 1 of 3 oem tires available on the sedan. And they're usually given when you get the Winter package. Theyr'e an all-season touring tire, not a performance tire. The Goodyear Eagle GS-D's are the summer tires available for this car. The Turanzas have great wet-weather grip, they're quiet and smooth, and they make a good daily commuter tire. They're not much for the track, though.

AWD is supposed to be coming to the G35 soon.

Sounds like you miss your Evo?

IMO it is a kid's car compared to a G. It's a hopped-up [i] Lancer.
