ive driven one many times before, my friend has one.
honestly i hate the car. the engine/ trans feels REALLY disconnected from the driver, as well as the steering.. you can hear it and everything, but when u rev to 4k and drop the clutch, it just doesnt feel "right". more like they tried to make the infiniti into a bmw and failed while doing it. bmws give you the connected to the road feeling, and the g35 doesnt offer that. plus when you rail on the car, the tires are very unpredictable, giving you the allusion they grip all the time, then let go when you need it most.

mine seems glues to the road and rips bmw's apart on anything...auto X you name it...
the tires are great i dont know what you talking about not predictable?? The grip they give is great the only problem i see with them is they wear out to fast like most sport tires...
the brakes from brembo are amazing...perfect amount of stoppping power...
the tranny is good but notchy...
the real bad part about the car i see is the clutch...it sux...and the suspension is too soft...

The engine is great, its got power everywhere.
I would sell the G35 for an FD but at the moment i cant do that.
Tranny yes could be much better...
My recent auto X was great! i matched the regular vettes...the time i went with you Mike was my 1st time...
I cant match the M3's but the regular bmw's i can rip apart...
