I love the sound of the G35! It Roar likes a Lion. plus, better mpg and more horse, but the down side is that the 8 cornering a lot better.

I thought I like the noise they made, but I went to an Autox event 2 weeks ago and there was a stock G35. The exhaust was so quit if you wernt looking you wouldnt have know the car was on the track. I was dissapointed

Sorry to rain on your parade but if your looking to get the g 35 for it being *faster* Ive beaten many g 35's at the track and off of track.. So not always faster just b/c they have more power... besides that yest they do sound bad ***, they have very nice inside, and look sick w/ wheels, and you can mod fairly cheap and easy..

Have fun w/ your g 35, i know i would!

I not really going for the speed. I prefer a hatch more, the look more and i know the rx8 could beat the g35. I like the G body style. I hate the 8, because of engine problem!

^ that sucks. moving to a G strictly b/c you choose to is cool. being somewhat forced out b/c of engine issues bites.

GL with the G35. Post some pics when you get it. It is a nice ride.

I would've got a G35 if I didn't see 15 of them a day on the roads. I see another 8 maybe once a month. Therefore my car will get more looks than a G any day.

Every once in a while I see a guy in a G35 with Volk Time Attacks and that little spoiler they have...it looks quite badass. He kind of looks like a jerk though I hope you arent like him

it does sound like a weird cow moo. they definitely tuned that exhaust to sound distinctive, but frankly i really question their choice. first time i heard it i was like whoa! but then it got old really fast. it is a pretty decent car, tho. congrats

RX-8 has more of an exotic exhaust note imo.

G35 looks good. I like them as a sports coupe.... but not as a sports car. Too heavy. Unprecise steering, pedestrian shifter, . The moaning cow sound is nice. But not even close to a Renesis at full throttle.

Good luck on selling the 8, enjoy the G35.

I have a friend who has a G35. It's a very nice car. Not quite as fun to drive as an 8, but it is better on the luxury end of things, and very good looking. I don't race so I'm not sure which is faster, but they seem pretty evenly matched in overall performance. The G35 isn't as agile as an 8 but it's no slouch in the corners either, and it definitely has more torque.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the G35, it's not a bad choice at all in my book.

The 8 is more fun to drive tho. The G is just for cruising, not for racing. I like the look and the performance isn't too bad! I'm going to miss my 8 tho. I got a guy coming to view my car new tuesday.
