the coupe's are 280hp and run arounr a 14.0 in the 1/4 w/ a 6 speed. auto's are 260 hp and run around a 14.6 in the 1/4. they are rwd. the awd are sedan only =(. as far as aftermarket goes: there are a decent number of parts for them but not as many as one would hope for, and of course the parts are gonna be alot more expensive than they would for a civic. stillen has some parts for them. i thought really hard about getting one. i had to special order my 6 speed with the brembo's but decided not to get it when it finally came in 5 months later. the price was right around $37-38k. payment for 48 months was around $520/mo. with 15k down.

 

how about an Enthusiast trim 350Z?? Should be able to get one for about 27-28k

 

i was reading an article yesterday about the AWD g35's. its ONLY going to come in A/T'S!?!?! WTF?????

 

The AWD system is a safety thing, not performance.

 

safety=more traction
More traction=more performance

 

Sounds like a tight ass car to get. Im going to start saving my pennies now

 

some guy on this board has one, ya might wanna talk to him. DOING OK (i think thats his name on here)

 

does a 280hp RWD car have trouble hooking up??

AWD is just more weight to lug around, something extra to break, and more expensive to fix

 

No it wouldn't have any problem hooking up, but if you start modifying the awd will help.

 

g35s are hot....just a classier 350z. i say go for it.
