Its been a blast so far! I am coming from a 460hp 04 Cobra vert so this is a whole different ball game, but i think im going to really enjoy it.

I had a lot of mess loweing the last car with my alignment so i think ill prolly leave this one at stock height for a while. I actually really like these rims, they seem to stay clean for quite a long while.

Forgot the specs: Athens Blue 6MT, Aero, Premium Package, Trunk mats.

Bought it at 8 miles and currently have 400 miles inching closer to that 1,200 mile break in limit.

Lovely color and congrats I had the most fun during break-in, just cruising around and enjoying the new car smell. After that comes the big disappointment, and you'd wish it was faster. Like the rest said, just stick around this forum for a while and the FI bug will get to you

im not expecting it to be fast. The place that tuned my cobra (does tons of mustang stuff) is actualyl turbochargin 350Z's for a local dealership and they said they would love to make my car their first G35, lol.

Gesus, The day I went to look the truck pulled up with my car on it, they had 2 more athens blue but one was 5AT and the other didnt have the sport or premium package.

My fiance as a 68 mustang we plan to rebiuld so i think ill prolly leave this car mostly stock for a good long while esp with us getting married and moving soon.

Thanks,
Adam

The fact that almost any lowly V6 family sedan can keep up with the G is just part of the story. The other part is its overweightness, they could have easily made the car 200lbs lighter, and the lack of feedback. Ever wondered what the big Evo hype is all about? Evos offer lots of feedback. Other than that, the G is a most gorgeous looking car and a perfect cruiser for the strip or the highway. It's a great change once you're done with all FI adventures and long track days and looking to settle down...

ok, the person who started this thread doesnt need this garbage. how dare you even compare the evo to the G35. obviously he was looking for something a little more practical, he's not looking for speed. 200lbs wont do sh*t. V6 family sedan?? what.. a camry? an accord? an altima? just shut up.

looks great man. good buy. you could find some springs that wont change your alignment much at all. look into espelir. they have good stuff. keep those 19's i love them. if you put some wider tires, when they wear out however, then youd be set. its a quick car, not FAST, especially coming from 460hp cobra. but it does the job nicely and with class
