To look bad ***, and not look like every other middle class businessman driving their bone stock G35 sedan, that's all I see on the roads around here every day.

But it may come to fruition that the auto actually posts faster acceleration times than the manual. Best/most likely case, they will probably post the exact same numbers - I don't see the manual being faster, anymore. But personnaly, I would still want the manual...
Also, keep in mind these are about the same numbers that a manual Cayman S posts. Very different car, but still. It could get a little embarassing at the stop light.
Nicely done.
C&D posted (slower) numbers for a manual car, but I think the manual car has a little more wiggle room to improve. And Nissan engines get better with time... and these are brand-new cars.
We'll see...

i don't know how many of you really go racing from stop sign to stop sign but if you do then go for something else. If you go for class and style you made a great choice.

Something is off, here, with the specs.
The weight is listed as 3615 for the 6mt sedan. The (2008) 6mt coupe is 3668, 53 pounds heavier.
The sedan has a cD of .29, while the coupe is .30.
The sedan mpg is 17/25 while the (2008) coupe is 17/26 ???
Something doesn't compute. Must be those fugly wheels...
But at least some things haven't changed. Apples to apples, the sedan is lighter and slippier than the coupe, with the same power output. Once again, it will be slightly faster than the coupe.
