G35 Sport Tuned Suspension question
anyone have pictures of it? They say it comes w/ 19" wheels, LSD, different ground effects. Also, is it standard on the 6 speeds?

also, anyone know of any dealerships where I can get one at invoice? I'm getting a new car in the next month, i keep leaning towards this but need to get out and drive one more.
Also got a lead on a fully loaded Trailblazer SS w/ an $8500 discount that's tempting me. Also still interested in an STi, Magnum, GTO too much cool shit out there.

Still looking though, i've got a month to really decide, I really need to get out and drive everything out there. I'm really interested in an M5 I detail that the owner will let go to me for a great deal, but the car is out of warranty

I like the new G wheels better then the old. But I love the old brembo brakes
How do the new brakes compare?

How do the new brakes compare?I think the rotors are the same size...and I think they are 4 piston calipers.

Lots of guys in So Cal drive the the G Coupe...mainly middle eastern....but men none the less.
Yeah teh srt8 will be about 40k not including dealer markup....but its so much sweeter then the GTO.

Dont be so quick to spout off 2nd hand comments on the gt500. I think you will find that car to be quite amazing.

Scott, the new G35 will be introduced at the car shows early next year (New York Auto Show in April)... I'd guess it'll be on sale in late 2006 as a 2007 model, so you'd be buying the last year of the current bodystyle... Just something to think about, and it should help you getting down to invoice pricing...
Lots of coupes coming out within the next year or so (new G35, 330 coupe, IS350 coupe, etc).... I'm going to wait for another year at least to see what the market shakes out...

that is a concern of mine, the Type S CL came out 5 months after I got my first gen. Only thing is I need a new car NOW, my CL is dieing, doesn't start everytime, tranny is going, don't want to dump more money into it.
I wish I wasn't driving cross country cause I'd be at the LA auto show this week seeing what new has come out.
Also, are the G's expensive to mod?

check out www.trailblazerss.com and find the TB SS forum and look through some of the threads, you'll see how you can get the deals. My brothers friend owns a dealership and that's where i'd get mine, but he said these deals are available everywhere.

what did you pay for it?
Are any dealers giving them away close to invoice? Also, do you know if it's possible to get the premium package sans the sunroof?

If I remember correctly when I was pricing them to try and buy...the price someone got in florida was VASTLY less then what you're going to be paying LA.
Unless you break someones hump to make a good deal. Or things have slowed down since feb/mar when I last looked.

yea, that and a little bit of extra headroom. We went and looked at one today, still not sure I can deal w/ the tight fit
