MARRY?!?!? You'd better watch those 5-letter words. Besides, "Mr. pascal", the not-quite-Mrs-yet NUKED 06" is the one that often prompts most of both our modding!

I have the feeling the auto will shift a lot... I had a G35 before this and when it went in the shop I would get a G37 with a 7 speed auto. Hell of a car, but a lot of shifting and same was with the 6 speed G37 auto... But when you hit it, there was never a dead spot it just took off at any speed, which is nice.

I ordered a 2011 yesterday. I had a tough time deciding between manual or auto. The dealer told me the Brembo brake pkg is manual only.

Sounds sweet! Those brembo's are way expensive, hope they are worth it. What do you mean the wheels have to be ordered? Are the 19's part of the brembo package? Or you have to get 19's in order to get the brembos?

You have to get 19's in order to get the Brembos. So it is even more money, but I wanted 19's anyway. I am not at all sure they will be worth it, but I have been wanting to put Brembos on a car for years, so I went for it. They will look good anyway.
