Driving lessons for manual? Honestly, its not that hard to do. I'm 100% positive you can learn in one weekend with someone you know that can teach you. Its like riding a bike, once you get the handle on it you never forget.

But I do applaud you for wanting to learn and buying a 6MT. After getting my first auto in 10 years, I miss the manual everyday. Good luck to you.

 

i would not learn to drive a 6mt on a g37....they have terrible clutches known for prematurely wearing out....you might be one of the luckies who could end up blowing a clutch under 5k miles...and your door prize would be a new clutch for $1500-$2400...WOOHOOO!

 

Not normally, it was the raving over the new V6 in the headline that caught my attention. I wanted to see how it compared to the G ...... and it didn't.

 

I've been driving on Nissan clutches since 1995 and have yet to replace one under 150K miles. My 95 Maxima SE clutch was replaced at 200K miles after years of abuse. My 02 Maxima SE was just sold at 150K miles without any hint of slipping and still easily chirping from 1st to 2nd.

My younger brother, who was 17 at the time, taught me how to drive a stick in about 10 minutes. Then it's just a matter of practice and learning the clutch. I think it was a week of jack-rabbit practice before I was comfortable.

 

Oh really? The new V6 in the Mustang makes it very comparable to the V6 in the G37. The V6 Mustang is now a high 13 second car, which seems very comparable to our cars.

The new V8 Mustang? Fuggedaboutit....it'll kill us badly.

 

I'll sell you a fully loaded G37S for 30K, let me know if you are interested.

thanks for the offer. I need to sort my money out and at the same time i'm going to take some lessons. i'll get back to you in 2-3 months if i don't buy the mustang. sry about the wait and if you want to sell it before i understand

 

For kicks I ask for different cars when I travel on business. When I requested one of the new mustangs, I thought it would be a thrill. However, it was like driving a tank. I felt there was no finesse to the car. Plus the interior looks super cheap (along with some wacky accent lights). I felt the visibility was worse than the 370z, and that's saying a lot.

 

Why don't you just buy a Mustang then, you are obviously a fan. Read what I wrote in my first post. It's close to the G but still not there yet. 3.7L, 300hp, 0-60 in just under 6 seconds. Last I looked the G was 330HP and 0-60 in 5.3 .... that would make the G a bit better with a 3 year old engine. Now the 31mph is not bad at all but I'm sure that is the extreme, I've gotten 27 out of the G on trips.

And yes, a 400plus HP V8 will beat the G, that's is pretty obvious isn't it?

 

If I wanted a Mustang, I would have bought one. But I own a G37, so what does that tell you? It's not that I'm a fan, it's just that I'm not an unrealistic hater like you.

You also seem to be missing the fact that the V6 Mustang is Ford's base engine for that car. It's meant to be the more economical choice, not to make the Mustang fast. But the fact of the matter is that the new V6 Mustang is every bit as fast and may even be faster than a G37, at least according to several road tests that I've read. I hate to be a magazine racer, but your numbers are so far off that it's comical. Stop being such a hater.

From the very first road test I Googled:

"Not that the Blue Oval's new six-cylinder musclecar needs more power. Yep, you read right: We called the new 3.7 Mustang a musclecar. Now if you're reeling from the idea of a Mustang V-6 ever being labeled with that word, or if you can't believe how far that meatball just flew from your mouth, chew on this: 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds and the quarter mile in 13.7 at 102.0 mph.

Dude .... not a hater, just not a lover of the Mustang. It's as simple as that, don't go reading more into it that what it is. I stand corrected on the numbers, thanks for the link.

 

if you want a 2008 g37 your in luck.
my parents who are in their 60s are selling the g when they move to vegas in the next week to 10 days. Pm if you want details.
