That is true of the V6 models, but the I6 models developed long before then. The interiors are completely different as well.





The GT-R model, the one where they dropped the Skyline name (which at the time was the Infiniti G35), was on a modified FM platform, same as the 350Z, G35, and FX35.

That looks like the one. It’s interesting, because Nissan had something very different to say about converting it.

“If the steering wheel is moved to the left, the GT-R has twin turbos, so the steering shaft would be closer to the turbo at the rear, which would cause a thermal problem,” Kozo said. “There was also an idea to make it a single turbo, but we gave up on that idea as it wouldn’t have been a GT-R.”

Good for her

That is such a great looking Mustang. I wish I could talk my wife into one, but she is set on her Lexus which she doesn't drive since the Lincoln came to stay. A few years ago our neighbor had a base Mustang that had virtually nothing and was a lot of plastic and cheap everything inside. Now, she feels they are all like that.

BTW, it has warmed up here, and yesterday the AC cut on for a bit. I have the windows open at night for a few days now. I guess it took putting the boat back in the Lake to get better weather.

Finally got a minute to get these mounted, I’ll scrub them in after my morning appointments.

Don’t look at my messy garage, I have a few projects going at once.

Had a nice, leisurely drive out today—well, leisurely by time constraints, but not in how I drove. I’m so happy with this car. And holding out for a stick was the right decision, there’s no way I would have been happy otherwise. It’s just so much better to drive than automatic. I don’t know how people do it.

I have to agree driving for drivings sake is definitely so much more satisfying and far less distracting with a manual.I don't glance at my phone I don't even put the radio on now that I say that probably makes you a safer driver
