Question on G35/350z's

One of my managers at work has a g35 and he was complaining to me that he can never spin the tires in it he says when ever he goes to floor it and the tires spin it will lock him out of gears and the traction control kicks on, does these cars have something like skip shift elimator (cags) like our cars? or is it just a simple turn off the asr or traction control button on it.

thanks for the help.

My wife's 4 dooor 6spd sedan had trac. control. I use to run it when the T/A was down for contruction. But even if the trac control was off it would not let you power brake, it would start applying the brakes, kinda weird. The button was to the right of the steering wheel, I think.

they can't spin the tires because those cars are slugs. Tell him to find the V8 button

I was impressed with my wife's car @ the track. 14.00@101 with a baby seat in the back! BTW 3645lbs with me in the car. Not bad in my book for a N/A V6 @ that weight.

I felt the same thing. My wife and I took one out for a test drive and it just felt "OK". Nothing special, not worth the price for sure.

I read that Infiniti is preparing to build a V8 powered IS coupe. Sounds fun! But, priced around $70K!! Nice, but again pricey!! Same thing with BMW's next gen M3 - V8 powered, but probably $65K.

It's nice to know "affordable" coupe with power are coming from Chevy and Dodge. Can't happen soon enough. Of course, by the time they are out, I'll probably be ready (read can afford!) to buy a new C6. At least I keep telling myself this (and my wife!)!!
