Michael Leitchman: 2005 Infiniti G35

Michael Leitchman considers the G35 the perfect luxury sports car. After wanting a Nissan 350Z for a long time, he was drawn to the G35 for its looks and the fact that it still had four seats. His intention is to enjoy the car as both a comfortable luxury car and a sports car interchangeably.

FAVORITE MODIFICATION:
"My favorite modification is my Motordyne Shockwave exhaust because it sounds amazing and there is no other sound that can top it to me. I absolutely love how deep of a tone it is but also when i step on it it really opens up. It also has amazing crackles and pops on downshifts"
