uh huh.....
did i write that it is or is not a good car? you always jump to conclusions. i've never driven one. i said i have seen them on the road modded and like how they look. again i said i've seen them on the road and like how they look. as i reread my post i don't see where i wrote its a good or not a good car..

I gotta tell you , I am so relieved that I have retained my GS4. To be honest, I even went to the extent by posting my GS for sale on Autotrader and not to mention Clublexus. This will not happen again! I am now planning to keep my GS until the 2010 GS900 comes out! LOL!!

Thanks for the feedback.

For those of you who are getting tired of your Lexus, do what I did! It will be like buying your Lexus all over again. Kidding!! Kidding!!

I never test drove the g35 sedan or coupe, but i love the sound the g35 coupe makes when it is passing by. I have a GS4, and plan on keeping it for years to come. Nothing satisfies me more than having a V8 sumo wrestler mustle car.

Does anyone know if Lexus plans to build an IS300 Coupe? It would be nice to have an alternative to the G35C and 330i in the mid 30 price range from Lexus . You know it would be nice!

Yes, the IS coupe is coming and there is a very strong chance it will be a hardtop convert ala the SC430......

With my L-Tuned exhaust my GS4 sounds WAY better than a G35.

That can be attributed to V-8 vs V-6, a V-8 will always sound deeper and better. But stock, a G35 coupe and 350Z and FX 35 have GREAT stock sounds, Nissan did a great job tuning the stock exhaust.

with tc and lsd, the g35 can't even come close

and if you talk about straight line stock to stock, i might tend to think the g35c is just as fast? i thought it's 0-60 is like 5.6?

really? i thought that was the 05? i know that the 05 models are much quicker than teh previous ones but im pretty sure the GS4/430 can outrun the pre 05 models without much hassle... i've run with a couple G35 coupes and always came out on top anywhere from half a car length to 2 car lengths... never came across a 05 though... that might be a bit harder...

Can't compare exhaust note to GS stock since Lexus did an even better job eliminating all exhaust sound.
