Infiniti G35 Coupe

Infiniti G35 coupe expands its performance capabilities for the 2005 model year with the addition of Sport-Tuned Suspension Package featuring 19-inch wheels and tires, drilled aluminum pedals and Viscous Limited-Slip Differential (VLSD). The G35 Coupe 6MT model with 6-speed manual transmission receives 18 additional horsepower, increasing power output to 298.

The 2005 G35 coupe’s interior has also been refined with a new instrument panel and console area and use of new materials and textures, including the addition of real aluminum trim on the center console, door grips and dash, and mp3 playback capability added to the standard 6-disc CD changer. Ultra-soft leather-appointed seats are now standard on all models. Other changes for 2005 include the addition of three new exterior colors and two new interior colors.

Enhancements to the 2005 G35 Coupe include:

· Additional 18 horsepower (298 hp) for G35 Coupe 6MT model
· Standard Viscous Limited-Slip Differential (VLSD) on Sport-Tuned Suspension Package and G35 Coupe 6MT models
· Available 19-inch polished aluminum-alloy wheels and 19-inch performance tires
· Redesigned instrument panel and console with use of real aluminum trim
· Two new available interior colors: Wheat (beige) and Stone (gray)
· Available drilled, aluminum pedals
· Power recline added to front seats
· Three new available exterior colors: Serengeti Sand, Lakeshore Slate and Athens Blue

For the Sport models, they would have mentioned the Brembos.

I now believe they are gone. Now, what does that mean for the Track. If they are not on the "G" Sport, than the volume for the "Z" Track probably doesn't support using the Brembos.

Not only that but now they did announce that the sedan 6MT has 298 HP also... which means that earlier post from freshalloy was accurate... so looks like no brembos... i'm sure there are cost reasons associated with it... the full specs are supposed to be released later today so i guess we'll see

Bremo is a great name and they do make a quality product, but in a good deal of cases, you're paying for the name. If they did drop the Bremos, I'm sure they got something as good or better to take their place.. Maybe Baer or Stoptech, who knows..... guess we'll have to wait until December to find out

i'm pretty sure the Track Z is still gonna have Brembo's, just think about it, how many Track models compared to the 5000000 other model line of the Z do they sell more? so i don't think it would be a issue for the Track models Brembo's to get dropped. now if we could only get a brochure of the 05's....

It's a DD ... I'm thinking about some wheels... but other than that... it will remain mostly stock.

I already have one car that sucks my wallet dry with mods and high octane fuel.

Cool update, but IMO the Brembo brakes were one of the BIG things that separated the 6MT from the 5AT. Now, I guess, we will have to look inside to see the score.

Hope the navi is better in 05.

So the list of equipment says "available 19"wheels" before I read in infinitinews that the 6mt comes standard with 19". Are these an option or standard on the 6mt?

Read the first paragraph - They will be standard.
