Oh...Behave!
Just raced one the other night!
Damn, it was pretty fast! 6.2 - no wonder...
I forgot to turn off my traction control, and it cut out as I started off the line, due to wheel spin.
I actually got the hole shot on him, but lost a half a car length due to the rpm cut-off. We stayed neck and neck to 80, then I let up - I knew we where even the whole way, but he stayed on it till ~ 100 mph, then turned right on the street way ahead.

Saw a G35 on the road yesterday, dull white. I thought it was a CTS Caddy at first, which certainly ain't sayin' much. Second, and just like the Caddy, IT'S FUGGGGGLLLLLLLYYYYY!!!!!
Just my 2 cents!

I read this review last night, the test data is very close on all these cars. Seems the diff is getting pretty close sooo you probably will end up with a good car no mater which one is picked. The manufacture's are going to start giving us more options for less money. Good thing for us consumers and good work to Nissan for the price leader.

I agree. Then, it will win the 0-60 and the 1/4 mile, till the 6 speed arrives for the G35 this winter. In that case, the TLS might have gotten up one or even 2 places.
