ok 04 g35 4 door vrs tl
Ok So Im Driving Down Francis Lewis Blvd And I Notice Following Me Up Close Is A G35.... So He Pulls Up Next To Me And Takes Off So I Keep Crusing ..... Then He Slows Down And Waits For Me And This Point Im Like Ok Now We Gota Go ...(note. I Have 4 Ppl In The Car With Me, He Has Him And A Driver) We Are Going About 30 And We Both Floor It At The Same Time ... I Pulled On Him Once The V Tech Opened By About A Car And Then He Started Catching Up Lil By Lil But At About 4th Gear I Was Ahead By About 1 Car Lenth And He Wasnt Gaining Anymore.... For Those Of You Who Live In Ny U Know Francis Lewis Blvd The Straight Away All The Way At The End Thats Where I Raced It.

Anyway, I don't know who would win, but I have had a G35 sedan, and now a TL. both with automatics. From some speeds the TL feel about as quick, but frankly, I really think the G35 is faster in most circumstances. It has significantly more low and mid range torque. They are close enough that speed would not be a deciding factor on which to buy.

The G35 Sedan is underated from the factory.
So far everything you have posted has been wrong.
And please don't come cry to me in your PMs again like you did before.

The TL was designed as a sedan. Four doors, luxo'd version of the Accord. Very handsome.
The G35 Sedan? That's a frankencar. Add a few inches, add a couple of doors, ruin the balance, throw off the symmetry. It's a mess.
Its one thing to design a four-door sedan, take off the doors, lower it, make it sleeker, and call it a coupe. Its another thing entirely to design a two-door sports coupe and puff it up into a family truckster. Its frankencar.

The G35 is the skyline. It was built with 4 doors and 2 doors.
The G35 must be handsom since it seems it wins lots of reviews.

you are a lier as well, you have said enough negative things about TL that I can remember.
Only thing I said about your car is that its not as well designed as the Coupe. That I would rather buy the coupe than the Sedan.
NO ONE HERE SAID G35 COUPE WAS UGLY.

And any negative comments I have made about the TL were facts. Just pointing them out makes you guys think they are just negative comments against the car when it has the problems. And now a defective tranny problem like I figured would happen.

No offense to the poster but he obviously hdoes not know how to drive. Since the G35 is slightly faster than the TL (.1 to 60) he could have beat you if he knew how to drive. ALso good thing you didn't see any turns or it's bye-bye for him. Now if you check the interior out you win.

Forget just the interior, the G35 is out right ugly compared to the TL....screw the tiny little miniscule edge it has in 0-60 and handling, the look of the car makes our TL 1000X better than the G35............damn Piece of :shit:

I agree our TLs are better, but you gotta admit, the G35s keep whumpin' us in comparo tests. Heck we came in 3rd behind a Caddy in the C&D report!! Whassup with that?!?!

Your arguments against the G are so flawed. You people get angry because someone has an opinion that RWD is better than FWD yet you do the same exact thing with the looks of the car. So either there opinion is just as valid as yours or neither of your opinions matter. They are ranking the cars on performance. The G is the best performing car. You may rank the cars on looks. In that case the TL wins and IMO it is indeed the best looking car by far.

Best looking car, and the performance is JUST FINE.....the G might perform better because its RWD, but at least I wont be stuck in the snow, with a car that looks like aSS!! :sqntfawk:

OK then someone could say at least they wont fly off a cliff when going around a turn on a mountain because of torque steer. SO
back at you.

Trolls/un-openmindedness = same
It has been proven that G35 (auto at least) is .1 sec faster to 60 and I believe about the same 1/4. .1 second faster 0-60 is maybe 2 or 3 feet with the same driver in both cars. I have driven both and must say although I love my TL, the G35 handles better and is overall funner to drive because I love RWD drive. Yes the G35 has beaten our TL in most DRIVING comparisons, but then again the TL has beaten the G35 in almost all other comparisons like OVERALL car (amenities, technology, styling, etc). To me, the slight performance advantage of the G35 is not worth getting a lesser overall car (notably the interior). Seeing that the G35 is slightly smaller, lighter, RWD, and more torque, it would be a DAMN SHAME if it didn't perform better! I chose the TL because I felt it was more luxurious than the G35, and that is what matters to me. If I wanted to drive around the city streets like I was in autocross, I would have gotten the G35.
Side note: Unless Nissan has changed things in Japan, the G35 is NOT a Skyline...
