I agree on other things the s197 section would be better, but for wheels I figured a sixxer chat would be better(plus when I originally posted my question I didn't realize this was the S95 V6's, I was on my blackberry at the time), like I said I didn't want to get lambasted by the v8 haters on this site.

I've never driven alot of fast cars though so I don't have much to compare it to. It rides really smooth, has quick acceleration (can definitely through you back in your seat), good sound system stock, quite, the triptronic trans is much better than the others I've driven, in the winter it doesn't even feel like theres snow on the ground with the awd. Personally I wouldn't hesitate to buy one. But thats me, I'm sure there's some people out there who'd rather have a comparable lexus. No problems with either one so far either. My roommate has a G35 coupe (06) and to be honest I like the sedan better. It rides much smoother, I'm sure his car can carve some corners but it almost rides as bad as mine which is not what I was expecting. It is fun to drive the 6 speed though, its quick. I test drove a G37S with my father awhile back and it was the best of both worlds. Smoother ride, faster, alot of fun. So I think you get how I feel about them haha. Thats a big truck though.
Yeah it is a big *** truck... he took the side steps off once and everyone had to jump to get in. He never goes mudding with it tho, which sucks.

Yeah I just wanted to know a little more about the car since he will probably ask me about them and stupid things like that. I heard they have a 300bhp V6? Hes probably going to get a 4th gen.

Is the 4th gen the newer model? I really don't know them in and out to be honest with you. I believe it is 300bhp, the S model I think has 330. Not positive. Any questions and I can help you as far as I know but I never really looked into them. One thing that I thought was cool was they have twin seperate tb's and intakes. Not like a twin tb on our car they have one on each side of the engine I assume feeding each intake. Supposidly they don't really respond well to bolt on's either. Pretty much maxed from the factory. But with the right supercharger setup they are supposed to be able to make good hp. My roomate knows nothing about cars. Thinks when hes driving his dads 05 porsche 911 theres nothing on the road faster. He doesn't know how to drive his G, or what launching is, and asks me about 0-60 times when I talk cars. Oh and also wants me to help him "put the biggest shot of NOS he can on his car"

more interior noise then my mustang had stock, brakes that squeeled horridly after many dealer replacements under warrenty, suspension that creaked worse then the 45 year old chevelle, and teh AWD went out at 70k. 3 dealers claimed this all was normal.
