That made me smile, looks like you had a blast
You got pretty decent acceleration, what tires are you running?
Looks like the perfect place to let loose, wish I was so lucky

Haha Thanks, yea it sure was an amazing experience as i always wanted to do this one day. It's an 08 G35x and have a Topspeed Exhaust and Berk HFC (Thanks To LOLYOURMAD ) Running 225/55- 17 Hankook Ventus V4 All Seasons. Got them for $99/Each and they are pretty amazing for the price and the grip im getting on these roads.

I had a chance to drive a G37x loaner and we had a snowfall , one of the recent ones in the Metro area and gotta tell you G37x isn't nearly as much fun as my RWD 6MT in the snow with Continental DWS's unless it is like 8 inches or more then I might have an issue getting stuck here and there because DWS's are great up to a certain point, and considering this snow we just got is a very light powder puff, got stuck in the parking lot in the back of the house once I stopped. But after a while I managed to go forward a bit more and back into my parking spot without digging any snow from underneath the car haha. I personally have more fun in my RWD because in AWD you can't have your rear end go sideways as much as you can with the RWD which is what I love about it the most

Yea i've heard that having a RWD is much more fun since the X always limits slips especially if you have a good set of winters. I'm just glad im happy with My X Sedan and was surprised it handled so well in 6-8" of snow.

For RWD fun I have my Frontier....does it have the power of the G? not really, but when you just want to do donuts in the snow you dont need 328hp

My X feels so confident in the snow its amazing. I almost think the car is easier to drive in the snow than dry.
