Default 2005 G35 Coupe

Went and looked at one the other day. Goregeous!! Especially the sport model with the forged 19" rims!

298 HP too! My only beef was that they no longer offer the Brembo package with the 6MT model. I was disappointed to see that.

Thats weird? They just left money on the table by not offering a Brembo option.

Nice car for the money

Probably won't miss the Brembos in everyday driving but I'm sure they'd look nice

I think the problem with the Brembos is that they are insanely expensive to replace -- people complained.

I test drove a G coupe before getting the s2k. Good power, drives like a BMW. I thought the Z was more fun to drive. Interior was improved greatly over previous models

I used to love the way they look, but it's starting to look a little dated, IMO.

I test drove one a few weeks back, it was nice, got the backend out and as I corrected the computer kicked in.

Throttle response was awesome, rev matching was a breeze, it's much more luxury than sport and I didn't like the thick padded seats.

The 350Z still offers the Brembos.

When/if I decide to sell the S2k, the G35 is right there on the top of my list. I loved the '05 I drove.
