coupe to sedan questions
Here's some things I remember every time I almost regret not getting a coupe:
1) You can fit a mexican family in the trunk. It's massive
2) It is much better balanced
3) No stupid window motors to break
4) Generally ignored by the police
5) It is lighter than the coupes
6) The 6MT's have rev-up motors for 05-06
5) and 6) combined make a 6mt sedan the fastest of the first generation stock G35's. For me the appeal is knowing I have a rwd 300hp sedan that no one expects. I get a big kick out of it. It'll be an srt4 or a civic si that will try and blast past me after taking off at a light because I shift really early, nothing like waiting until they're right at your door and rolling to WOT. Most of the time they look over with a scowl at the old man's sedan.
That and blipping down to second and putting your foot down, you're gone before anyone notices.
The coupe does this too, but it's a coupe, it isn't really a surprise when it happens.
When the young kid in what looks like his dad's car suddenly goes from the speed limit to 100+....like I said before, it's my favorite part about having a sedan: A sleeper, but definitely not sleepy.

yep sedan it is - the search begins
i’d get an 07/08 . . . if i could - money isnt that abundant and i do not wants payments. im gonna have to stay 14-16 range.
coupes dont get pulled over . . . but when they do - I HEAR, in AL that 5 or 6 begins to expensive, but thats just heresy!!!!
the rev-ups are a major concern. i def will not be getting a rev up 6mt. thats just asking for problems.
Thanks to everyone for your input and feedback. the search begins for that ideally perfect sedan!!

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Too bad you weren't looking on here a couple of weeks ago, you could have had this for under $12,000. https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-car...edan-navi.html One of the cleanest sedans I have seen on Driver.

I picked up an 05 sedan 6mt last month, had the OC test done and came back fine. the car is still under warranty till December, got a new tranny out of it. mine is black, mint, loaded with everything but Nav 35k miles $14,800.
