CL-S and G35 car trade for the day tomorrow!

hey guys, been a long time since i checked in on the forums, been real busy opening up a detailing business (kudos to Patrick @ exceldetail for help and quality products) and ill give a nice update on that after im open next week..

tonight i hung out with my friends brother from california who drives 2004 G35 coupe and he and i decided that we're gonna swap cars tomorrow for a little while to test out each others cars.. i personally have never let a soul drive my CL-S apart from my father because he taught me how to drive.. but since i know this guy pretty well and he's letting me drive his car i figured it was a fair trade. ive always wanted to drive a 6spd G35 and he said he's always loved the CL-S in particular and wanted to drive it..

i believe he is stock under the hood, i have CT headers and icebox so hopefully he will enjoy driving the ac.. ill let you guys know how it goes tomorrow and try and get some pics of the cars together at my shop

Cool, hopefully you guys don't damages each others cars and you guys stay friends
Usually the way I go about letting people drive my car is I profile them and see what kind of attitude they have, how eager they are, how they treat there car and how well I know them. Its a matter of trust, confidence and respect.

Too funny I just drove my buddy's '04 G35 automatic last night. I absolutely love the power band in the G's, definitely fun cars. I still prefer the way our Acura drives hands down with the top end power, but that's just me.

You just nailed it right on the head. Mid-range power on my friends G35 is amazing, but the CL-S definitely merks it with top end power.

Nice, this will be a more accurate response on how really good these cars really are. I recentantly let someone drive my CLS, just because i was too drunk to drive home from a concert! We made it home successfully thank god!

While it's really fun on the highway, I wish we had more low end grunt.

Just keep some icebags on the IM before taking off in the car to get that really cold IAT I do it from time to time and it does feel torquey.

And the G35 stock exhaust note is definitely nice, IMO.
