Who makes the TT? Oh wait, maybe I do remember seeing one, but it was like 10k right?

Stillen is in the works for a SC but it is only for the 3.7 that I have seen. We were waiting to see if it would even work with the 3.5HR last I knew (ofcourse I dont know much at this point)

I traded my '07 Elantra for an '08 G35. Love the fact that for almost exact dimensions I have all of sudden 2.5X the horsepower.

This will probably give everyone a good laugh... I traded in my 04 Prius. Funny, I don't get the same mileage.

Well, to be honest, the Prius was an upgrade in HP over its predecessor ('89 Dodge Colt) and I'm an engineer and was seduced by the technology. It was a great value in terms of the tech you got with it at the time as well as great gas mileage.

It was getting near the end of its warranty period on the battery/drivetrain and didn't want to chance it. I came to the G via the Murano, fell in love w/ the technology stack that Nissan/Infiniti offer and decided I wanted something that was fun to drive We decided we didn't need two SUVs so I went with the G.

I tried leasing (07 tsx) but that didnt workout as i love cars too much which leads to driving too much for a lease and the color was horrible which came as an after thought, then went for an 04 325ci until i remembered just how much snow ohio gets, so after a short time with the bmw i ended up in the G35x and i have to say its the best so far - which makes me want to get and 07+ next.... although the thoughts of a 330xi always seem to linger in my head... oh ya... and to answer the question.... i think the G35 was an upgrade by all means :-)

previous



and the one before that...




Overall i miss both cars, but i had to get the G for practical reasons since I commute 25k miles a year.
The only thing that pisses me off about the G is the lack of coilovers for the X sedan....I had KW V3 on both of those and they were deadly....
I never was a spring man, but for now i had to settle on the Impuls.
Otherwise its a solid car....
