punker429 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Weather really isn?t an issue anymore with the traction control systems cars have now. Popular Mechanics recently did a test comparing rear and front wheel drive cars and they said that they are equal now. The G35 isn?t really a skyline it?s just a coupe that they stuck the name on to help sales. However, I would definitely go with the G35 it?s just an all around nicer car and not to mention they sound wicked awesome. They are suppose to be releasing a GTR version sometime soon I guess with AWD and more HP but also they threw a nice big ugly wing on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey992 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 G35's are awesome. It's just about the closest thing you can get to a Skyline in the US (even though it isn't even close). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey992 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I doubt either car would be great in the snow. I would think snow performance would be about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to buy a good set of all season tires for them. With my Subaru STi they show the car driving through the snow but they come with summer tires. For the winter, you need to buy a good set of all season tires because if you use the stock tires you will go nowhere in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do agree with the all season tires. Always a good investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-hurley18 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I would say go to the infinity and the nissan and ask for a test drive, then choose the one that you like the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkluminaz34 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 This is a hard choice... The 350Z looks better but the G35 has a much better interor.. Screw it I want a 2005 GTO with a LS2 or hows about the new Z06 that puts everything from Japan to shame and it gets 28 mpg on the highway!

Dan.Varga Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I would go with the G35. I know people that have both and I like the G35 a lot better. Its a classier car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1x Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 The G35 isn?t really a skyline it?s just a coupe that they stuck the name on to help sales. 585581737[/snapback] Actually, it is a Skyline in Japan. The G35 sedan is a Skyline also. Skylines in Japan come in two-door and four-door models. What differentianted the Skyline from the "Z" lines of cars from Nissan were the engines. The Skyline prior to it's G35 incarnation had the RB26 engine, while the Z models prior to the 350Z had the VG30 engine. Now, the Skyline and the 350Z are essentially the same cars mechanically (share the same VQ35 engine) with just different body styles. The Skyline GT-R just happens to be the top of the line model of Skyline. In the eighties, you could buy a Skyline with a four cylinder engine called the Ti model, but who would want that!?. Other models popular in the eighties were the 2000GT model and the RS series of Skylines. The GT-R line just happened to be resurrected around 1989/90 beginning with the GT-R32. I would gladly take a Skyline (G35) now and it doesn't have to be a GT-R model either. The aftermarket support for it is immense now. I'm sure there will be plenty of used ones in good shape to be had in a few years when I'm looking for a new ride. I would definitely go with the G35. It has more "mystique" for ;). ;) You can actually get an export model Skyline without having to pay a small fortune to buy a "gray market" imported one from Motorex.

randy_tho Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I'd probably go with the G35. The looks of both cars vary greatly depending on the factory kits, rims and colors. I've always had my eye on a black G35 with the suspension and aero package and a 6spd manual. btw.. whoever made the comment about the vette's inability to corner has no idea what they are talking about. :rofl: You have to remember though the vette is a good 50% higher cost at least. Though it's pretty much a higher class of car, imo. Also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giantsnyy Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 i've driven in a 02 z06 corvette... my friend used to have one before he sold it b/c he didn't want to drive her in winter... and figured driving it only 6 months out of the year here in nj didn't justify the price. he took this turn coming off of us rt1 in central jersey going to ryders lane in east brunswick doing 45mph... felt like the car was going to lose control. i can do the same turn in my 02 ford focus zx3 which isn't even lowered or have any work done to the suspension at almost 70mph. yea... so you were saying they handle perfectly? i'm not dissing the vette... i do like it, however... i don't care about straights or left turns... i want something that can auto-x. i've been to auto-x events. have you ever seen one? corvettes get their asses handed to them by... oh wait look at this... I bet ur gonna hate this... STi's and Evo's... and on top of that... i've seen a modded SVT focus beat all 3. oh one other thing... don't go saying i love japanese cars and am a honda lover etc... b/c i'm not... every single car in my driveway and every single car i've ever owned has been either ford or chevrolet.
