The inside of the G is nice, but almost identical to it's cheaper Maxima cousin as far as the wheel and center console/controls area. I also found the backseat a tab small for normal sized adults.
Nice ride SilverbulletCLS!

Looks nice, BTW. I am no G35 hater. If the G35x was offered with a 6MT, it may be sitting in my garage right now.

The Altima is front drive with an open diff; that costs it in terms of ET (but barely impacts the trap speed, which is far more telling of a car's actual power to weight ratio).

The Altima's fastest rating for the 5-speed was a 5.9 run I think in Motor Trend. It is a fast car in manual mode. It's basically a low 6 second car. Autos have gotten from 6.3 to 7.1 in diff. magazines.
But that car has the worst interior in the recent history of the automobile. They did recently up-grade it, it looks better, not sure they used better materials. And it handles like a bigger car (it's bigger than the TL and G 35) and has torque steer OUTTA THIS WORLD. But it is very fast to go to Wal-Mart in.

The 6 speed Accord coupe is probably the best of the bunch in terms of luxury and performance per dollar...
Of course, Honda doesn't offer the 6 speed in the sedan....

Trap speed through the 1/4 mile is the most telling in terms of actual HP to weight ratios.
Speed @ the end of the 1/2 mile is also telling, though less widely published.

SILVER B S,
If you are so confident about your purchase, why do you continually surf this forum for someone saying something bad about the G35????
I can honestly say I have never been on a G35 forum.

Bullet- judging by your gallery you are going to "rice" the G35 out. Have fun.... don't forget to add a wing. Oh, and keep any and all keys/sharp objects away from the "titanium" trim. The plastic scratches easily! Enjoy the interior and the Clarion sound system. Cheers!

The best trap is not 100 but between 96-98 for the Altima.

And if they are then they ALL must be, since the same source tested all three cars.
The Altima V6 is essentially as quick as the 350Z and the G35. :p

Go by what the majority of the magazines get magazine racer. C&D, MT, R&T. The Altima maybe as fast but from 0-60 the G35 will own it and above 80 the G will own it.
And what the hell do you own NOOB? A wannabe metro?! You came on here just to cause problems because you are a newbie and every post you have has been on this topic.

They are close enough such that it would be a driver's race.
The curb weight on a base Altima 3.5 SE is a mere 3,197 pounds...
The G35 sedans are 200 pounds heavier than that...:wow:
Both cars use the same basic 3.5 liter V6....
What "magic" makes the Infiniti so much faster (according to you)?

Yawn, your a waste of internet bandwidth. Go run along and brag about your mommys car to someone else. This TOPIC isn't about the POS ALTIMA.

Altima V6 dyno results:
http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/...ima_july02.php
The Altima is 200 pounds LIGHTER.
The drive wheel HP: weight ratio of those two cars is very close. The Altima actually produced MORE drive wheel torque on the dyno!

amazing the lack of maturity displayed in this thread
why are some of u guys being idiots, u've made your purchase and be happy w/it, stop trying to preach to others how great the respective car you bought is
....this goes 4 both the g35 owners and tl owners in this thread....both groups claim their respective cars 2 be sophisticated, if thats the case, why cant their owners be even 1/2 as sophisticated as their car is
