Actually if you now where to go...you can get an 2004 G35 slightly above invoice which I think is around 24,000.

Now take a tC and add a supercharger or Tcharger and your already starting at around 20,000 and now where near the power of 280 horse AND REAR wheel drive.

If you can afford it get the G35.

I have driven both, I loved the G35 but I also liked the TC. Its a tough decision, to me the smart decision is to buy the TC and maybe put leather and a better stereo in it and your paying about 20,000. That would probably save you somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 thousand. That would make a nice addition to a college fund or retirement fund or a house downpayment or many other types of things that are much better investments than buying an infiniti.

i posted this before on the official 0-60 test...

"goddam, 7.4seconds.... theres plenty of cars hit that, but all of them are atleast 2k-3k dollars more...

cars that cost 18-22k usually hit 0-60 at 7.5 seconds(besides the SRT-4), plus more cash for optional items such as moonroof (that standard tC), 6 speakers (standard tC), MP3 player (standard tC)

plus the tC is 2.4L, 160hp at $15950???? wtf thats cheap... 160hp cars are usually 18k-22k. and they dont got the extra stuff that tC got..."

well to be quite honest I love the g35 but I love the tC more and thats why I went with it... and you can get the tc power close up with the g35 with a new exhaust, header, and intake you could probably get the hp close to 190 and then with a s/c around 240+ and get leather for maybe 900 bucks and its got a sun roof which the coupe doesn't...

Invoice price for a g35 manual 6 speed leather on edmunds is $29k..... can i ask where you found $24k? I'll get the G in a heartbeat if invoice was $24.

Seriously stop with all the tc or this posts

As i state all the time....
You will get the car you want no matter what people say. So why post and ask? Oh so you can feel better that Some people are telling you that your making a good choice? Test drive, Test drive again, Sleep, Then pick the one you like the most

Your gonna gain 30HP from 3 bolt ons? Give me a break you apparently have no clue about cars. G35 will run laps around a TC supercharged or not. Biggest thing here is a G35 is rear wheel drive so the TC is not even in the same class.

rwd is awesome but that doesn't necessarily mean that it will run laps around a FWD car. turbocharge it and add a couple of bolt ons and I bet a tc could blow the doors off a stock g35. and you'd still have money left over. But if you feel like spending 30k omething on a car then go for the g35. The two cars as some onesaid b4 can't be compared you either spend alot of your money or you don't. do you.

if you are planning to race the crap out of your car, get a g35. if it's only for commuting, get a tC.

for me, if i have 30k to burn, i will get a used 240sx and play drifing, just for the fun of it.
