Sonny Cooper recalls being a broke high school student, back in 2007, when he first came face-to-face with a G35. Soon after, Cooper saved enough for a 2004 Infiniti G35 and decided to make only minor modifications. Even though Cooper has since changed his tune, evident through engine and performance adjustments, he still remain grounded in his initial goal.
“I enjoy the car scene,” he writes “it was never about the trophy but more about building great relationships with friends and [being] able to share the same passion regardless of what car you drive.”
Cooper has additional plans for either a forced induction or an Air Lift suspension.
