) God, i miss that car at times. im very happy with my coupe, but i had plans for the "Grinch". worst part about it is that everything was ruined.....sways, shocks, springs, exhaust and had just ordered the LSD and TC. oh well, if nissan would get off there asses i could start modding my coupe
here are some more pics, if you are interested in seeing them..........Doc

Id send you to my guy, but he's in europe right now. at first there was no test driving, we could sit in it, start it. ect. but no driving. later when we were bought ready to buy it just by looking at it, we said we had to test drive it and then we'd buy it. no credit check, they just wanted to know we were serious. and we tried her out.
in the last 2 days we went and test drove the murano. he didnt even ask to see my moms liscence, said he'd been selling cars for 8 years, he didnt need to see anything. whatever, so she went for a spin. nice car, but needs more power IMO. the 280hp version would have fit better in such a large car.

Sorry to make this sould like i dont care but....
Who gives a rat's a$$ how the 2 compared? If you wanted a G35 you would have gotten one. I wanted a Z and got a Z.
Again, i apologise for the bluntness of my post, but lets all be real about the issue here. Audi guys buy Audi, Chevy guys buy vettes, Dodge guys buy vipers, and Nissan guys buy Z's.

well my moms an older woman, she wants one.
and yeah, they tend to be out more, I think they are all daily drivers. I dont think you get a coupe for a sporty weekend car. so while many Zs are second cars sitting in the garage, the G35 coupes are all out.
but still, I have to look at the side for 2 doors or 4. you can not easily tell if its supposed to be a "sports coupe" or a sedan any other way. that is my number one problem with the car.
