To answer the question if the HR is worth the $2K extra, IMO YES!! But it wouldn't matter for you if you are looking for a 2006 or 2007.
ah okay yeah it was talkin about the diff gens it said 07+ didnt realize it was talking about the sedans. lol.
thanx

Can someone tell me what the "slip" light is for and why it was flashing on and off when I was taking a wide turn at about 35 mph on my way into work today? It has never come on before and I take that turn at the same speed every single day.

"SLIP". It's a part of the Vehicle Dynamic Control. When VDC is on, and slip is flashing while the vehicle is moving it's letting you know that your wheels are slipping "loosing traction" and reduce the power going to your wheels. There was prolly loose gravel or somethin on the road. Theres alot of things that could cause it to come on. Low tread wear on your tires or corrosion in contact parts due salt from the roads that's on your wheel speed senor and not making good contact to the hub.

Good example for a 5AT: on wet road. Floor the gas pedal from a dead stop and you will notice the car would bogg down and the "slip" light would flash till you catch traction

Right. Now I've taken corners super fast and in the rain and that weird sound happened. There was no sound this time, I was driving super slow, no wet pavement and no loose gravel. Nothing was different today than any other day on my way into work. I know I have camber wear but my front two tires were flipped about a month ago.

I am going to be looking at exhaust for my sedan. I was looking at either the Stillen Gen 2 or Motordyne Engineering VQ. Which one would you think be best for a NA G35 sedan. I believe the MD VQ is a 3-inch exhaust and is suppose to have less drone. Give me some feedback.
