BTW- the 5 speed Altima pulled a 5.9 0-60. What was the latest 0-60 for the G35 per Car and Driver ? Looks like, for the money, that you should have gone with the Altima. After all, isn't that what is important to you.... performance for the money?

I'm thinking about buying a TL as a 2nd/"everyday" car.
That's secondary to this guy's unwillingness to accept the fact that Nissan's own ~ $22K Altima V6/5 speed is ESSENTIALLY as quick as the 350Z and the various G35s.
And there's nothing "immature" about posting objective facts (e.g. dyno results and curb weights).

Don't you guys get tired of this? How many different TL/G35 debates have ended up in the same pissing contest between the same people? Why don't you just whip it out and get it over with, or meet somewhere and fight?
I find it very tiresome, very small, and very sad. :o

Seriously, I like trying to get people to think about things in a different way.
I like to promote open dialogue.
And most of all, I like to make people who insist on conducting themselves in an irrational and disrespectful manner look the fool. Including myself.
So get used to it and try to keep it civil. Kill them with kindness and they won't know what to do.

0-60 for G35 5.6-5.8 most MAGAZINES.
GROW THE **** UP IDIOTS. I am out of this thread. You guys are here to cause problems like immature babies.
The ALTIMA wasn't even part of the damn convo.

What do you want us to do- agree with you, bow down? I understand that you are happy with your purchase, but for the life of me, I can't understand why you come to a TL board to post about purchasing a G35.
I didn't go on fresh alloy after I traded my G35 to boast about how great the TL is. Please enlighten me as to what your intentions are. TTFN

At least the CL forum alot of people there are more mature unlike here. Seems to me you guys think the TL is the **** when it isn't.

Looks as if they did indeed change. Learn something every day, I guess.

and the Altima isn't very far off from those figures, just as I've stated.
~ .3 - 4 sec and ~ 3 MPH through the 1/4 make it a DRIVER'S race.

Bullet-head always brings the anger and name calling to the post. He thinks just 'cause he's got nothin' better to do than post on the TL site day and night to justify his G35 purchase, that somehow gives him the right to be rude towards others. He will always show up when someone starts a thread about 0-60 times on the G35 and TL spouting "I'm so much better because I have more posts, nanner, nanner."
WHO CARES????? If I wanted faster quartermile times I would have paid $3000 for a souped-up Chevy Camaro.

To all who have wasted their time on this thread - I apologize for starting it. This thread just took off on its own like a 50s B movie monster.
I sincerely hope that the TL administrator cut this thread off right now. Please kill it now.

Now I see why silverbs is here.
From Silver bs;
Test drove a G35 Sedan today to compare...
This car is definitely a drivers car. It handles like its on rails. Seats are supportive, nice designs. But, it was a bit noisy on the highway, engine a bit louder than even my pathfinder. But it is a good 2nd choice.
Power was on tap, and it had it! It is really hard to tell which car is faster, since both spun the tires loose on me! lol.
Anyways, its my 2nd choice.
The TL is overall a better car. FWD isn't that huge of a deal with me. I rarely race anyways. The TL interior was much better, ride was better, exterior is what really makes me like the TL.
But at the moment, due to my Pathfinder value, I am having to sit tight for a while longer till I have some more down. Probably be another 2-3 months before I can even try to get my new TL 6spd with NAV, HPT.

Yep, but after driving both cars 3 times, and which one I got the better deal on, I made my move on my 2nd choice.

Anyway, I was annoyed with the G35 over something very small but noteable: it has a hood prop. For $35G, there should be hood jacks. The I35 has hood jacks; my Maxima has hood jacks. What gives??

**** I am not even shifting right or use to my car and I ran last night a 14.4 at 97 mph bone stock with 1300 miles. And that was bogging off the line.

well ive read that with intake exhast and ECU the G35 makes 310 while TL makes 313. thats good enough for me because the TL engine is smaller and stock it comes with 270 rather than 285
