the only thing better looking about the sedan is the price tag

I mean technically being ever so slightly lighter it is faster, but I don't think its so much faster that its worth bragging about

I agree, and I wouldn't rate on which car is better on speed alone. Some stuff is more important

to me the selling points of the sedan are 4 door versatility, more understated look that doesn't stand out as much as the coupe so ricers don't try to race you all day(sometimes I want them to though so that could go either way..lol), sleeper factor, the fact that it is capable of doing anything performance wise that the coupe performance wise, many parts from the coupe and the Z fit, less of a ticket magnet and the prices for used ones are much lower because everyone has such a hard-on for the coupes even 7 years later.

Nope, a lower coefficient is better, unless you need it to create down force to stay on the ground.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automob...ag_coefficient

G35 Sedan is .29
G35 Coupe is .27, .26 with aero.

^ 2008 sedan is .29.....

But apparently every site mixes up the coefficients between the sedan and the coupe.

The Sedan is the .27 and .26 with aero and the coupe is .29

The reason the sedan has better numbers is because of the longer roof.


But .02 does not mean crap, its just a numbers pissing game

Yeah, looks like wiki is wrong, but that's not surprising because there isn't an official infiniti source.

lol @ numbers pissing game, so true.

Somehow the fact that the coupe is 40 pounds heavier than the sedan, makes the sedan put 400 to the ground and rape the coupe 0-60.

lmao

according to MT

03 coupe 6mt - 0-60 5.83 1/4 mile 14.23@99.4
03 sedan 6mt - 0-60 5.78 1/4 mile 14.28@100.3
03 sedan 5At - 0-60 6.51 1/4 mile 14.68@97.08

not sure if I believe there is a .9mph gap in trap speed from 40lbs unless its the drag coefficient...lol

sedans have more 3rd gear vtak


.05 seconds y0 so fastAr

Yes, the Sedan and coupe are virtually identical in the performance department, but it is funny that the very tiny advantage tips to the sedan
I was really surprised by the sedan having a better drag coefficient

I also think it's funny that the sedan is lighter, in spite of the fact that some of it's parts are heaver. The midpipe, for example, is 25 lb heaver than the one on the coupe for 03/04's, yet they still have a weight advantage. Swap midpipes out, and you're even more 'to the good'

I realize it doesn't make much of a difference at all, I'm just happy to have a sedan that's on-par with it's coupe version.
