I've once seen a beautiful white G35 coupe with a "SKYLINE" and "350GT" emblems in the back. What is "350GT"? Well, it was clean and beautifully done with some exterior enhancements.

And I do agree with you that the S2k should win against the Auto G from a dig just about every time. But also like I said, it will dependon on the s2k driver, and possibly if the G spins to much. From a roll it may be closer but I still think the S2k has the advantage. The G is heavier and slower shifting ( Auto )

Just wanted to chime in here... Dude the G35 AUTO is NOT slow.. they are almost as fast as the 6MT (only marginally slower on paper.)
I've seen a G35 Coupe Auto demolish an S2k off the line. Off the line is where your problem will be with the G35 coupe. At higer end is where you will have the advantage. The Auto G35 is will most of the time beat a manual G35 off the line and the 6MT will eventually catch it. 1/4 mile is only 3 tenths of a second behind the manual. Don't get too cocky or underestimate it. Be sure to drop the clutch from 5 or 6K or you will lose.

Besides the obvious difference in transmissions, there are a few other not-so-noticeable differences between the 5AT and 6MT sedans (such as an electric fan versus belt-driven fan).
I still stand firmly behind my comment that a properly-driven S2000 should be able to beat a 5AT coupe out of the hole. The same should be true from a roll. Those who haven't driven an S2000, and aren't afraid to push it, really don't understand how responsive and quick to rev the car is. It's just an awesome feeling to spin the motor up to the redline and it gets there quick.
