Hahaha the last bunch of posts are funny. I went from a E46 M3 to an '05 G35 coupe 6MT and soon after I bought it I was coming home one day and I pulled over to the side of the road. I opended the hood and started looking for something broken under the hood. To my surprise everything was perfectly fine. It was just my introduction to how unrefined and rough that VQ35 motor was. Everytime I think about that I have to chuckle, but that VQ35 sure did makes some tq though. Definitely did feel like a V8 from the 80's/90's. It's just that everytime I went past 5k it felt like the car was coming apart. Coming from a smooth as silk I6 it was a wake up call. LOL Don't even get me started about the drive train and the tranny.
