Read my post above.

Also, I never really understood why Z owners make it seem as if G Coupe owners got their Coupe because of the backseats?

I remember there was a thread over at G35driver.com, and hardly anyone used their back seats enough to be anything significant. The majority actually never cared about them. I actually hate having people in the back, and almost never allow anyone

Not so much of an apples to apples comparison because the 07 Z has the VQ35HR. If you compare an '05-'06 6MT G35 to an equivalent Z, the only tangible performance differences are in weight, wheel base length and lack of strut bars. Engine and drivetrain components are the same.

The wheel base length and lack of STB's contribute most to the difference in handling. Longer wheelbase doesn't have the sharp turn-in, but it will feel a lot more stable at higher speed. The sport tuned suspension on the G uses similar spring rates and shock tuning to the revised suspension on the Z. Adding front and rear STB's helps to stiffen up the handling of the G and increase response.

lol Never thought of that!

I've used my backseats for cargo at most. I hardly ever fit anything in the trunk.
