04' or 05' G35 or a Brand New Mazda Speed6?

show me a video of an m3 outhandling the S4? if it's just word of mouth i don't buy it as i've driven both and the S4 handles like a dream.

and the m3 DOESN'T handle like a dream?? correct me if i'm wrong but aren't you a truck/suv owner? so do you really think you've had extensive behind the wheel experience w/ both? i don't mean to call you out, it's just a question.

well it shouldn't make a difference, but did you drive a B5 or a B6 s4?

i believe a magazine did a test, i can't remember if it was R&T or MT... in any case, it's a pretty well known fact... put it this way, the VW R32 outhandles (no i'm not kidding) the b5 s4 as it's 1% faster around nurburgring than a b5... and the m3 simply outclasses the s4 and all vw's in SCCA....that alone should tell you something.

joebangaa: I've driven a 99' M3, a 05' M3, and 01 S4, and an 06' S4 both extensively as one of my best friends owned the M3's and my dad's business friend who i've known since I was born (or so i'm told) owns the S4. So yes I've had my fair share of both and the S4 was out in San Diego with a nice set of hills and curve's and the S4 IMO out handled the M3 anyday.

to Sqbubble: On the Acura, not a chance I HATTEEEE anything Acura beside's the NSX. For the 02' S4 I won't drive anything that old, to me 5yr old car is to old as I can't see spending the same or more on something that old.

To Snb778: you're an idiot if you think the G35 is 1) faster, 2) better performance. The faster is a proven fact, the performance is preference.

To noah, I'd love an AWD G35 but can't find one unless it's new and I don't have 34k to spend on one.

If there's anyone else I left out i do apologize. For the interest of seeing something ugly, i got my plaster splint off today for a fracture boot and have pics of my foot 1 week from the accident posted here, pictures are on page 5: http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=166740

G35, obviously Im biased being the owner of one.

Better handling, fit and finish, Much better resale value, longer warranty,Much better customer service. TONS of mods out there, available in AWD,Proven solid VQ35, I can go on, but I think you get my point.

try g35driver.com

Im sure others have had a similiar dilemma before choosing, see why they chose what they did.

i just need to see if mazda will let me drive the shit out of a speed6 when i can. the awd isn't an option as i have yet to see 1 for sale that was AWD locally. the warranty wouldn't be longer though as i'm buying used with almost half the warranty gone to boot.

where do you live, what price, what miles, yadda yadda. My biggest hang up on the G is the whole getting the brand new speed6 for less or equal.

if it's only got 5k miles on it i definetly am not interested lol. the only bartering thing i have in my pocket is to convince the infiniti dealer i really do have other options lol. i still think unless the speed6 just can't handle as well as i think it can, i'll get that. then when i race a g35 no matter the model, and beat it easily i will smile.

Two/one year old Evo or WRX (STi perhaps?)

Have said it before. I would get the Mazdaspeed6 over the g35. Just me maybe, but he is right. It is faster and to me I think it looks better and I am sure it will be cheaper on insurance. Or it least I would think it would be.

STi i'd consider but can't find em' used to often. i'm still stuck on the speed6 unless i find a cheaper 05' G35.
