Just wow. I keep forgetting you have a black car... maybe because you don't post enough pics of it. Clearly you're taking amazing car of the finish. Good job, man.Too much tuck on those duckfeet, buddy. And your Invidia tips are dirty.

So, I have a few buddies who think the G37 sedan is just a semi luxury car with no performance whatsoever. When I told them the specs and what it can do they were literately flabbergasted. One of them (13 sti driver) actually had the audacity to say me modding my car was like someone modding their minivan. I quickly reminded him that it would be a drivers race vs. him in the in the quarter and that I actually had an interior that was up to snuff while doing so. He agreed but still remained steadfast in his thoughts that the g37 was not a performance car.
Somebody on this forum has called the G a luxury version of an American muscle car and that's a pretty good description. I love the G b/c it is a sleeper 4DSC. When I brought it home to show my wife before I bought it, she just assumed it was a luxury sedan and wasn't particularly interested. Then she drove it and she laughed at me b/c my ho hum sedan was really a wolf in sheep's clothing. It reminded her of her long lost late 90's Corvette. Lots of power in a nice wrapper.

Guess who? Although probably not the first or last to do so.

Lego, the black finish on that car looks absolutely perfect. Just wow. I keep forgetting you have a black car... maybe because you don't post enough pics of it. Clearly you're taking amazing car of the finish. Good job, man.

A $7.49 car wash doesn't include cleaning the exhaust tips

I've never understood hotrodded trucks. Seems silly to me.

Honestly I use to think the same thing, but when you think about it the same way we think about tuning and modifying our G's it's actually pretty cool. You can take a truck with 350hp and 400lbs of torque tune it and put a racing transmission in and get almost double the hp and torque. There is quite a science to it, but I'm sure the rednecks just look at the potential output and how loud it is and do it. I respect what can be done to a diesel truck, but I'll stick to my G.

Car guys? Really? They sound like punks with self-image issues. Are they equally unimpressed with the Nissan 370Z? Personally, I never dis a car that I don't know about, unless it's a hand-me-down economy car all tarted up into being something it's not. Fart cans and stupid spoilers and what-not.
IDK about the STI... I also have a buddy with a 2013 STI. I've driven it a few times, and I'm quite sure he has the edge. Not by much, though. And not a car I would ever want to own.

Terribly misinformed "car" guys. A buddy of mine will always ask if I'm taking the "sports car" when we go somewhere and he's not referring to my Miata. He knows the G is basically a sedan version of the 370Z.
Somebody on this forum has called the G a luxury version of an American muscle car and that's a pretty good description. I love the G b/c it is a sleeper 4DSC. When I brought home to show my wife before I bought it, she just assumed it was a luxury sedan and wasn't particularly interested.

Perhaps it's a cultural thing. If I grew up with trucks, I'd probably want to mod one, either for speed or off-road. But I was a suburban baby. Still am.
According to my automotive values, trucks are for hauling, not for hauling-azz.No wait, my bad:
