Hey everyone, im new to the g35 world as you all probably figured out from the title. I currently drive an 02 celica gt, i love the car but ive come to be very bored with it. Yesterday i found a 2005 g35 that has more mods then i know what to do with, just a quick idea, it has a veilside body kit to look like a gtr, navi, dvd player, play station hook up(dealer has the play station), custom dual outlet exhaust, injen true cold air intake, louie veton custom wrapped seats and trunk liner, an a few others i cant think of right now. An the dealer was asking 11500, an it has 81000 miles (just rolled 81 durring test drive), honestly my girlfriend an i both love the car an i found insurance for around 170 with geico, my big question is how do you all like your g35 in the snow? This one is rwd which concerns me with the connecticut winters, but is this a real concern or am i just over worried? Thanks for all the help

 

South Dakota here, 6yrs on my 6MT 06 coupe. You didn't mention anything about what flavor G35 you found, or what wheels it has. You'll find plenty of threads on winter driving. If you're going to make the change to a rear wheel drive sports car, you will have to run a 2nd set of wheels. I use OE 19's and OE 17's. The 17's have snows on the rears and still have the original RE92A's all seasons on the front. Handles great with that combo.

 

300 hp rear wheel drive 6MT...no problem in the snow....back end wont even slip, never, not once, guaranteed.

Cmon man, basic physics.........
