Good guess, but this was a little while before I had that.


Here's a hint. I park the G in that spot now.

Of course there really isn't much to go by in this pic really. All you see is a corner of the car really. Nobody has been close

No way. My fox has never seen snow. I keep it garaged/stored out of the weather when not in use (which is pretty much 99% of the time). It only comes out on sunny clear days in the summer.

Wannabe nailed it. That was my old '03 GT buried under 2 feet of snow. I don't think it left the driveway for a week. part of the reason why i ditched it for a G35. Nowadays, these are the two cars occupying the driveway. (I'm standing in the driveway where the 1st pic was taken looking out)

Yes, but the IS will outhandle the G easily. That car is a blast to drive on a twisty road with the paddle shifters and the way it handles. The only neg complaint is the front brakes suffer the same excessive dusting issue as the 03/04 G35's. In a drag race it wouldn't even be close...no video needed lol.

They just need to give the AWD version more HP. I know the IS350 and ISF have the power, but without AWD.

I wonder how many people would have bought their G35x's if Nissan had put the 2.5L in it like they do in ever other country?? I beleive the 2.5 AWD SKylines are only ~ 212 HP. That's close to what the IS has an it's just not enough for me. The whole reason I love Infiniti's is that even the "base" model engine in the entire lineup is sitting on the doorstep of 300HP.

the g35x probably puts like 215-220 to the wheels, they should have kept the rating at 260

The Lexus IS350 i drove felt too light. In the corners i dont think it would have been as much fun as the G. Its just way to assisted.
