^ a little bit of a downgrade in performance no?

 

One can conclude this, yes. However, as we all know specs on a sheet of paper aren't all people desire. It was an awesome vehicle in terms of acceleration, handling (for it's size), braking, etc but to me a driving experience is much more than that. After I drove my brother's G35x, I longed for a "cockpit" feel with all of the gadgets. I do miss the sheer power and not having to rev to 4k RPM to feel decent torque. Although the V6 in the G is class leading, it feels weak and noisy - obviously due to comparison with a 6.1L V8. A lot of people degrade SRT8's but I feel they are wonderful vehicles (although priced a bit high).

 

I went from a 2011 Honda Accord Coupe, EX 4-Cyl with a 5spd Manual... It was brand new, but my '07 G35X with 31k was far better of a vehicle. Minus the gas milage... went from combined average of 29 mpg to about 19-20 now... on premium.

Man do I love the new car thought!!

 

i had a pretty major upgrade from a 1993 toyota pickup 4WD with 270,000 miles and no heating or air conditioning to an 03 g coupe! it was hard getting used to everything it was so nice!

 

i came from an audi s5...you tell me if thats an upgrade or downgrade :X

 

First car

 

depends, what year?

 

i had an AT 98 altima with a bad tranny, and i parked it for 6 months or so. income tax came in and bought a 96 prelude si that was already dropped on 17" exel ennio rims and cai. all i did was throw a header and custom catback on it. i later took the altima to a shop and did:
AT to MT swap, header, sri, unorthadox pulley, jwt cams, powder coat valve cover, eibach springs, kyb struts, ACT II clutch, fidanza flywheel, b&m short shifter, fstb, greddy catback dayum i miss that car.
then for the love of my wife i traded those two cars in for an 05 grand cherokee (only had 18k miles and loaded with leather and gps) 4x4 with a hemi, gave her the jeep and took her hand me down 07 mercury milan . last month i traded the milan in for my 07 g35 and love it

 

2009 s5, 2007 g35x

 

i would say downgrade

 

It depends what's your definition of downgrading and upgrading!
You upgraded to 4 doors!! Yey!
I would never downgrade to 2 doors!!

See what I mean! Lol

 

its a downgrade in car class, but upgrade for my wallet hahah

 

Came from an 95 3000gt vr-4 speedy rust bucket to my 05 G. Lost out in low end torque but I can finally call my car reliable! Win for me!

 

Came from an 06 350z to an 07 coupe and still ask myself if its an upgrade or downgrade lol
