The G35 has nearly 300 hp STOCK, without turbos and voiding the warranty. And most people on this forum DO modify their cars. If you want the better-performing STOCK car, get the STi. If you want the better-looking, less-practical car with more tuning potential, get the G35. I personally don't care what you get, just trying to tell you what I know.

 

I've heard the VQ engines are a biatch to modify. But thats just what I heard, not what I know...

 

The G35 coupe is the precursor to the GT-R aka Skyline R35. I doubt it will be a slouch in terms of handling. I like the g35C because it is more understated whereas the STi is a boy racer wet dreams. Just look at the exterior design. It screams of "LOOK AT MEEEEEEEE!!!!" But it's still one heckuva car!
