G35 made Automobile All Star List

"...the Infiniti is every bit as good to drive hard as the BMW."

"And we found that the optional six-speed manual transmission is easier to use than the BMW's, with short, precise throws and crisply efficient clutch action." (Why still people complaint about G35 gearbox )

Personally, I find BMW throws to be very long (not a big deal in my opinion), as well as the clutch travel (more annoying).

But then again, I'm coming from a Honda which has the best shifter/clutch combos IMO.

I agree, this side of $150k its hard to beat the feel of a honda clutch/shifter.

What supercar do you know with better clutch/shift action? I don't know any, they all have fairly long throws and hard clutches.

As good as the Hondas are, the Porsche 997 has the best six-speed around.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Porsche's, so perhaps I am a bit bias, but the new 911's have amazing linkages, the CaymenS also has a great linkage in it, now only if they could get the clutch feel to be a bit better.
