Hey guys!
I currently own an Infiniti G35 and I love it. I have always admired the GTO, and its brute strength with 400hp. The thing I love most about the GTO is how modest it is, and how the average person who doesent know much about cars wouldn't have a clue that there were 400 screaming horses hidden underneath the hood, yet a car enthusiast who knows about cars, would indeed be impressed if you were to roll up with a GTO.
I have the Infiniti G35 as mine, and my wife drives the new 2006 Infiniti M35. Very nice car I must say, but it cost a pretty penny out ther door! Now heres the thing.. I do a LOT of driving. I commute to places all over NJ, NY, and PA. I got the G35 in a manual which I am starting to regret, since its a pain in bumper to bumper traffic that I sit in very often, and I travel in and out of New York City, and I'm sure if you've ever even been there, you know what a pain in the arse it is to drive a stick there!
Anyway, with the type of driving I do, I need another car to spread out the mileage, since I am putting nearly 1,500 miles a week on my G at this rate.. I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on the auto version of the GTO? I've actually heard that the auto runs quicker 1/4 miles times as well as 0-60 times than the manual, is this true? I will probably be going for a testdrive sometime this weekend, as this car is very appealing to me. Luxury in cars really doesent concern me, all I need is some power, and the new 400hp GTO has just that and then some! Should I go for the auto, or suck it up and get the 6-speed? Just looking for some insight here, and also if anyone has any information on the 2006 GTO model, if there is going to be any significant changes in engine or body styling.
Thanks in advance!
