meh id rather get my 24mpg, be able to DD it and not be stopped by any amount of snow.

i was referring to what i heard about poor tire wear issues (camber or something?), low clutch life and something else.

Chucky · 03-28-2010, 05:02 PM

Matt,

How does your GA dyno out with the supercharger on it? Car looks awesome by the way.

I'm in Florida so I couldn't care less about snow and I DD mine for 3 years with the S/C on it. Tires last 35 to 40K, Clutch... no problems.

So many haters on here...

Excellent choice in wheels, and that G35 is clean as hell.

Thanks Man. Your car looks sweet!

I too agree both cars look very good. Those rims are just about perfect.

bricooper78 · 03-28-2010, 07:06 PM

I'm in with the group that likes both of 'em

Not haters. We just like to rib each other.

Unless you count hating d-bag attitudes.

AaronGTR · 03-28-2010, 09:11 PM

Nice wheel choice. Big improvement with those and the drop! I like it. G35 looks sweet as well, I dig 'em.

I agree with others though the SC/T hood would look better on there. Yeah, sometimes putting stuff on just for looks is stupid, but that hood looks way better and there are other advantages to them as well. They are lighter than the sheet metal hood so you are dropping weight off the front of the car, and you can cut out the openings not for an intake but just for extra cooling air. Makes a difference in the FL heat.

But hey, to each their own. I'm just happy to see another GA being modded tastefully here in FL and not r!ced out like a few I've seen.

Yup. Just another day on GAGT.

I'm just very blunt with my opinions and such, don't take it to heart when I'm giving suggestions or in conversation.

We are all on the same side here, well, at least the ones still with GA's.

Also, Aaron brought up a good point, the SC/T hoods are a lot lighter than the normal steel ones. At least 15lbs or so in weight loss on the nose of the GA.

Nice G35! I have liked those from the day they came out...specifically in gunmetal/silver with the top wheel option and spoiler.

And not to slag off the Subarus but the G35 or G37 is better than anything Subaru makes.

Now there is some logic I can live with. Thanks.
