There's tons (I mean tonnes) of G35's and 350Z's running around Vancouver. Lots of richkids modifying them too, and everytime I hear that engine at WOT, it sounds like a dying mule being flogged. Not particularly revvy either, but that would be alright if it made it up in gobs of torque, none of that.

I don't understand "best engine designs ever" either ? Why ?

It's a nice car, but for the money I'd probably get something else (off the top of my head, the new Legacy turbo, Mazda6). But I'd never spend that much on a new car. If I'm still in Vancouver in two years or so, I'm pretty sure I'd be looking at a used Mazda 6 GT Sport 4cyl.

That's just me however, enjoy the car man !





Not sure why you think the VQ doesn't have torque. I gave up my SVT in favor of a G35. 260 lb-ft of torque is nothing to sneeze at, and a nice step up for me coming from the SVT. Heck, the Legacy GT (the other car I seriously cross shopped) doesn't have as much torque (250 lb-ft). And for '05 the VQ in the G35 gets a bump to 298HP in the 6MT (the auto goes to 280HP/270 lb-ft).

And when it came down to price, it was VERY reasonable (got into the G35 for less than a Legacy GT LTD would have run me). Luv me my RWD.
