[QUOTE=G35keg]Im 6'-4" and weigh around 230 lbs and it fits me like a glove.

I'm 6'3" 260 lbs. Leg and head room were fine. The shoulder room is what kills me. I have very wide shoulders, and the b-pillar pushes me waaay off center. (I have this problem in many vehs)

 

Lot to be said for Infiniti service with a loaner car for oil changes. If you buy a Nissan Z you don't get the same treatment. Not a deal breaker but if you are on the edge of Z vs G35 this might push you over to the G.

 

Not to mention the longer standard warranty and standard roadside assistance.

 

I like my G35, its got all the goodies on it, suspension, sway bars, CAI, Exhuast, 19" Rims, etc... It's a definantly a great car. But as far as the Fun Factor goes, the G35 does not even come close to the 350z Roadster IMO, now as far as practability goes then the 350z/G35 wins hands down.

Also if your into racing hardcore, then the 350z/g35 coupe would be a better choice

Biggest weakness the G35 sedan has is its seats, they will not hold you in place when driving aggressive.

 

As much as I appreciate the review (first post) - I can't help but stay perplexed on the .5 second faster in the 1/4 mile comment... My sedan was never stock for long, but I drove the Z and considered it prior to my sedan (both stock) and I don’t remember it feeling that much faster... I guarantee it's not 1/2 second faster than my sedan currently.

The Z is a fun car, very fun... the sedan is more refined and can accommodate clients / family... Performance-wise it's very difficult to outright call one over the other.

 

I like how i walked on my friends 350z with heavy 19s and stillen cai and mrev on my car only. He had crawford plenum, stillen exhaust and injen intake too.

 

I bet one cloth stock Z seat would fix that. Or a coupe seat

 

I was not considering the coupe very long (no awd), so I only sat in it once or twice. I thought the coupe seats and my 06 sedan seats were fairly similar.

Does the coupe have a deeper lower cushion, or better side bolsters?

Compared to my Titan, my sedan seats feel like there holding me tight. (Too tight for my fat ****)

 

Try taking a corner at highspeed, its tough to drive when your pushed up against the door

 

Yeah. Back in the day I had a 73 Delta 88 convertable. (bench seats)
Took her for a spin after I conditioned the front seat...no seat belt....hard left turn....slid across the seat & hit the rt door...

 

Yup.. had a 66 Chevy Belair with a bench seat... the term "C.O.D." came to be -- stood for Come Over Dear... as your girlfriend slid over to you when turning right

My kids now call "C.O.D." when I take a corner fast

 

Absolutely agree. The suspension/wheel/tire upgrades to my sedan made a world of difference. I mean huge.

Cant compete with the looks of the roadster, but hey, I live in Seattle, how often could I drop the top anyway.

 

LOL!
