G35 Video Review on Consumer Reports

I don't know how to post the link, but I'm sure someone will. There's a nice video review of the G35 on the Consumer Reports "10 Best" list. And the test driver is digging in, unlike some other road tests that show the basic braking demo.

Yeah, I enjoyed that he seemed to appreciate the G far more than the 535i posted in a separate clip, and he smoked quite a bit of rubber off each of them. But we didn't need him to tell us that.

Is it just me but I don't think my G would handle that way.(The power sliding in the corners) It's just not that smooth during acceleration. I think I need to get the re-flash done to pull off some of those moves. And I know some one is going to take a shot at me that maybe I just can't drive. What ever the case maybe maybe the reflash will make it easier to do. I hope!

He had the ESC off. Also, I think this guy is a former race car drive, so he can drive really well.
