--2007 Infiniti G35 Sport 6MT Sedan road test

Any thoughts on this being a good FS car?

35XX lbs - this was a loaded out car. I wonder if you can get one more stripped down and get below 3500?
306 hp / 268 lbs of torque
7600 rev limiter
18 x 7.5 F & 18 x 8.5 F wheels - the fronts are bit small but hopefully you can get a bigger tire on it. 245 fronts and 285 rears?
Better suspension, brakes, and steering than the F-body.
68 mph in 2nd

I think the 335i would be better, assuming it ends up in FS. However, the 335i doesn't have limited slip like the G35.

Depends on if you can disable the TC or not.

You can. Lexus was the only one that didn't have that option (without hacking steps), but for 2007, even the IS350 can disable it.

That is an understatement... look at those lines!!!





Visibility would be terrible, its cramped inside, front wheels are too narrow, taillight housings are too plain/wrong shape, and its Italian made... but who cares? Driving that and the women would leap in front of the car! heh. Gorgeous.
