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.
It's funny you said that since I test drove a 328i and a 05 G35 coupe before. I honestly couldn't tell a difference which one was a I6 to a V6. They were both silky smooth and not harsh or strained feeling like a 4 cylinder.
