some six footers are taller than others! Seriously though, I'm not knocking the car, just making an observation! I was a trapped rat in there! I had more room in the G35C, and that would be the car for me, if I were a cls owner looking to jump ship!

Do a poll of members who bought at the same time I did and you will see that price range across the board.
You like calling others names too huh?

Get a life.

Silverbullet, and droideka, doesn't it strick you as being incredibly stupid, that a fight broke out between the two of you over a car that you both ditched for something else???

Oh man this is a nasty thread...it'll be closed down for sho

I really get a laugh at all you ppl...you have really weak egos or something? The cl is fuking fast (for me), utterly comfortable, has an awesome warranty, and looks as nice as it drives...all you ppl complain and complain...yea i had my tranny blown, and yea I had rattles...took it to the dealership and had both fixed. Tranny is now silk, and the cabin is pin-drop silent. BUT, it isnt a sports car...nor should it have built as one.

The 350z is a true sports car. Precise handling. Remarkable power. Unbelieveable deal. OK to look at (personally I dont like the rear). But it isnt a luxary car, nor was it build to be one.

The only thing these two cars happen to have in common is the fact that they have 2 doors...so what is the fus? If I had a choice right now, I would go with the cl...I dont need anything faster, and no i dont like to do right-turns at 40 miles an hour, so intense handling isnt a concern either. Plus the cl can carry more stuff in the trunk than either my family's 2 other sedans. But ppl who are well settled, have a car or 2 already and want something fun SHOULD buy the z over the cl, no question about it.

Dam...you ppl need to chill and find something better than do...posting flames is like jerking off without the satisfication...but if you are already connected to the net...bust out the kleenex baby

wow, I've been in a training class all day all day and WW3 broke out in this thread. But I can see why. Droideka, you and I both pretty much see eye to eye on most things mentioned in this thread. Including the post where you called Silverbullet a DOLT. I have yet to meet a more annoying member of this forum and that included the is300.net trolls. Repeatedly he has displayed a total lack of objectivity and respect for others and their cars. His posts consist mostly of thinly veiled jabs at other cars that he doesn't own. I really tried to be nice to the guy, but *DAMN*.

Someone close this thing before I throw my PC out the window.

Silverbullet: All I have to say is that your statement of $29k for a 6 speed G35c is total crap. I am not calling some dealership. All I know is that they sticker for $34k and the car is not selling for $5-6k UNDER sticker price.

Come on now!

And I went to that website you linked. No 6 speed G35c's there. Try again!

I apologize to everyone who had to read this thread. What began as a mere defense and factual representation of my vehicle turned into a war with the village idiot.

Enjoy your cars because I truly enjoy mine. See you on the road.

Hey.. Call my friend. He can agree that we saw a Ferrari Modena for $10!!!!

What type of crap is that argument?

The G35c 6-speed RETAILS for $34k.

No, just since you were not there, I dunno what to say. It was on the window of the car for that price.

They were selling G35 Sedans for 26k around that same time as well. Go figure.

You guys are a waste of my time. I will do what the other CL members are doing just ignore you. You only see Z members in here bitching and crying.

3. Stereo - OK, I'll give you that. The stereo "upgrade" I paid for is a pathetic piece of shit. I'm still fighting Nissan on that one.
4. Quiet cabin - Who gives a fuck? It's a SPORTS car. The CL-S was no Lexus LS430.

"touch of everything=CL-S" except for RWD and actual track proven performance, huh?
dude you need to get real

the cl-s seats are much more comfortable then the Z.

when i meant ride quality i didnt mean floaty or how well the car handles. the cl-s has a lot more smoother ride then the Z.

Stereo sucks for both cars but with a 12 inch sub behind the driver seat i would expect something a little bit more better then that.

cl-s is not a sports car. NSX is a sports car:P its a luxury coupe and i think its the best one in the market!

im not trying to compare the cl-s and Z. i do believe that both cars have a lot of +s and a only a few -s.

like i said, it all depends what you are looking for. IMHO the Z is great but does not have everything im looking for in a car!

You owe him an apology...

from infiniti.com

http://www.infiniti.com/discover/Mod...,22756,00.html


Discard the past. Forget the norm. Defy tradition. Introducing the new 2003 G35, an innovative, provocative twist on the premium sport sedan - and the Motor Trend 2003 Car of the Year. Now available with a 6-speed, close-ratio manual transmission for total precision and control.

We threw out convention and discovered that the key to balance is imbalance. The G35's "catamaran concept" and Advanced Front-Midship platform, with its ideal 52:48 weight distribution, solves the paradox of performance, handling, and aerodynamics. Standard 5-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode (or available 6-speed manual) and drive-by-wire throttle help you keep the reigns tight on the G35's aggressive, 260-horsepower engine.

Well I built one 4 months ago, and test drove one before I got my A4.

Some people need to grow up instead of calling others names.

Yep, its better built thats why. The interior quality of my A4 is about 200x better than the G35. I don't care for the power. My 1.8t is smooth for what I need and gets good gas milege. A chip and it will be quick as well.

QUIT FUCKING LYING!!! JESUS CHRIST! Are you a compulsive liar??? Infiniti did not even release pricing for the G35 6MT until the LA Auto show on Jan 6th. You can't build a car on their Web site when pricing is not even available. People are just starting to take delivery of the 6MT sedan as of the beginning of February.

You need to quit making shit up. How can anyone take you seriously?

Who ever said the prices were on the site? The option was there.

You NEED TO FUCKING GROW THE FUCK UP YOU STUPID ASS. I am sick of your compulsive bitching. I tell you where to get your info but then oh no I am not gonna call. I am NOT FUCKING LIEING YOU RETARD.

You and the other Z guy are the only few that are not taking shit seriously. Btw I get my info from freshalloy.com which they have more info released way before the actual press does. Geez

Silver, you are diggin yourself the biggest freaking hole EVA!!!! Shat up already, this is embarassing.

This thread had the MOST BS coming with one member in one thread in the history of ACL. And that super member is SilverBullet. Cmon dude, 29k for a g35c?

www.edmunds.com Check yourself, b4 you wreck yourself. $34k

I am not even gonna bother addressing the rest of BS, especially interesting one is the Recaro seats in the CLS. Hmmm, interesting, highly doubtful but interesting indeed.

This thread is the answer to the question of how do you blow up a thread into 8 pages in a day without discussing anything meaningful.

In conclusion:
Z is a sports car with excellent handling skills.
Cl-S is GT car made for highway driving in comfort. 'Nuff said.

That's not what I said. Read the post again. You CANNOT build and price a car for which no pricing has been released. Silverbullet maintains that he built and priced a 6MT G35 Sedan four months ago. Not true.
