New guy here! Former Pontiac/GTP guy from PA!

Hey guys! Im pretty stoked. I loved my 2000 GTP..ran high 12's years back.. ported blower, fullsize IC etc.. but times have changed.

I always wanted 6-speed and rear wheel drive. I almost bought a trans am ws6(one of my favorite cars), but one thing stopped me:

Practicality. I have a girlfriend(hopefully soon a fiance') who has three beautiful children....

her plus me plus three= no four seater Ws6

But helllloooooo 6MT G35 Sedan!!!

I still have my beater car (1997 grand am gt 5spd), and my 02 Suzuki Hayabusa for when I really wanna go fast.

Here are some pics of my baby...

This is her in sold row the night before.

This is my view from the balcony of all my toys. The beater car is next to the G, and the busa is right across..almost time to put the bike in hibernation mode, and the G in its parking spot! Sorry about the quality, it was taken from my Blackberry storm Zoomed way in!

Woohoo! I too came from a mid 12 second GTP ( '00 coupe that I turbocharged ) and while my G35 is FARRR slower...it also feels FARRR better made. Engine wise I'd still rock the L67...but body wise it's no contest.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

GT-ER..yes, the L67 is just amazing..

I almost cried when I traded her this morning....I mean, weve been through so much... uggh..lol.

Amazing how attached we can get when we do enough wrenching on a machine..

O hella, thanks bro! You should have seen the bike when I got it.. Its like new!


Wannabe, is that rare? I know hardly anything about these cars...just starting to learn. She only has 36000 on the 2004 clock!

Nice score on the Nismo kit. Compare it to a normal 03-04 front bumper and you'll see why - not too attractive. Welcome, nice car and bike.

There aren't all that many "Nismo" Aero packaged G sedans. Heck, they weren't even offered here in Puerto Rico. It makes sedans looks sooo much better.

ok.. I feel like home already. A good support forum is almost a must when owning a vehicle. Thank you guys so much for being so cool so fast!

I really was upset..and I feel much much better about getting this particular sedan.

I do plan on some subtle mods..

I want an exhaust, nice deep tone... and it seems to have a drop in k&n already so Ill probly get just the ztube... Also some nice deep dish staggered wheels would rock.

Thanks again!
