Majority of roads in Nigeria are tarred with rough surface which aren't drift friendly not to talk of the roads not wide or secured enough to accept drifting. Your C230k or the ES350 were not made out of the factory for that neither did you mod them to.

can you actually drift in a corner with your Benz probably yes with speed but the road to do that in isn't available at your disposal.

I have told you several times when you smoke that shit just hit the sack instead of coming online and feeding us with superstory.

You can fool some of the people some of the time

Haven't seen him drift though but he sure loves to speed. Seen him a few times and wifey complained about his speeding antics grin

So he may be saying the truth. Will catch him one day though.

Yes. Always. Unless you are a regular courier. Them fit park you just for parking sake and by the time they are done wasting your time, you'd wish you paid the 4k asked and moved on.

That is the best road to race in the whole Phaga and Obio-Akpor.. But Bros take it easy on that Obirikwerre road oooo... ... Because some Useless drivers always take one way especially when you're close to OPM church.... I nearly ran into one last week Saturday and i was on 100KPH 2004 Sienna... Thank God for little space on the right side that saved me....

ES engine costs 400k.
IS250 costs 100k or so.
IS350 costs 1.5m
03-06 G35 costs 180k.
07-08 G35 costs 350k.

The steering wheel and door trims are peeling off. It's a known issue with the cars. I'll respray them myself.

161k miles on the Odo. Very well maintained.

grin Lagos to Abuja b4 ibilo u go jam army check point with heavy road block and road bumps with barrels loaded with sand. While u are at that trying to manoeuvre from the bumps,and sand loaded barrel. You will have to stop and relate with the soldiers. 5 meters custom don already bring out their necks like ostrich cocck guns they await u grin if you still do agidi to try escape 20 meters from customs where one curve dey b4 u go jam another army checkpoint in case u choose to do James bond grin

If u are lucky and there is no soldier at this check point,100 meters from the last soldier u will see some hunger looking police men who would have been informed by the soldiers and customs say u don out run them grin

If they eventually get hold of u just make sure say your pocket full or you get better contact grin grin grin

Meaning in a span of 150 meters u have 2 army checkpoints,customs and our police is your friend grin

When you approach your 30s with kids and wife and lots of loved ones looking up to you, even 120km/h go be serious speeds.

Don't fry your differentials oo.

It's an Intelligent AWD system. Disconnecting the fuse just stops it from kicking in, which allows me to do burnouts and shit like that.

HeavenlyBang:
And for the part most of you are concerned about. What are my thoughts on the Infiniti G35?

It's a brilliant car. Honestly.

Interior
The fit and finish is better than on my ES. Keep in mind that my ES was a fully loaded model. The sound system fuckin bangs, and the entire cockpit is just so well designed.

Handling
The car's steering is fuckin heavy! Stop whatever you're doing and go drive one. Heavy as hell. I'm a skinny dude and I feel like my biceps are going to grow if I drive this for three more months. Heavy and precise. There's a reason why the G knocked the BMW 3-series out of the way for a while. These cars are designed to make you enjoy driving.

Power
I have 306 horses under my hood, I'm not sure what you expect. The car moves. Fast. Wickedly fast. And AWD ensures I never lose traction at takeoff. Let me put this into perspective: Bar the E550, CLK550, and S550, there are no non-AMG Mercs faster than this car. None. And it will hang with those three cars until 80 MPH or so before they pull on it due to their 80 HP advantage. Let that sink in: It takes an extra 80 HP for a naturally aspirated V8 to be able to keep up.

That said, this thing is a gas guzzler! I have a heavy foot, so I'm probably at fault too. But, God, it drinks fuel.
Let me put this into perspective: I bought 40 L of fuel yesterday. I've driven about 50 miles, and I have just 50 miles of range left. The previous owner averaged about 14 MPG combined. I'll be happy to get 12.

That said, a full tank of gas took us back home from Lagos, which is about 290 miles (465 km), and I had about 15 litres left. I should be able to get 20-21 MPG if I keep the car at 2000 RPM, doing 80-100 KM/H. Basically the ideal speed for fuel economy.

Anyway, smiles per gallon are more important. Not a big deal. And anytime I step on the throttle--which is often--I'll be reminded of why I pay so much for fuel.

That is all.

Much thanks to everyone who helped.

- Nurey, Kingreign, thebigkendo, obekediamondfuto, banky3w, diportivo and the host of demeanors for their advice when I was picking the car to buy.
- DelTel for running the show.
- Gazzuzz and Oluwaseunla for their hospitality.
- OPUSDEI1 for everything.
- CarguidNG for the report
- And Pattybf for my documents that she's supposed to send today. tongue

All pictures were shot on my Huawei Mate 10 Pro, then screenshotted and cropped to meet Nairaland's size requirements.

E go be.

See nice whip. I have my eyes on the 4th Gen Acura TL SHAWD as my next car. I love Lexus IS350 but the cabin is just too small for my likeness. But I'm liking this Infiniti G35 and just might go for it. Me too want to experience over 300hp. Nobody should tell me Benz or nothing because the c class of this generation is a no no, maybe e class but not ready for that one now.
