does it have the ATESSA ETS AWD system that the skylines have? if not, how drift-friendly is it? im lookin to buy the 05 G35 coupe once it comes out and i wanna start drifting with it asap, wat u guys think?

all G35 coupes are RWD, not AWD and it is already out.
the only difference between a G35 coupe is that the coupe has a (tiny) back seat and a slightly softer suspension

The G35 Coupe does not have awd. It is based on a longer wheelbase version of the 350Z's chassis. This makes it more stable in cornering. It may or may not be better for drifting. It probably depends on your driving style. The 350Z should be flickable and easier to rotate, but the G35 Coupe could have better stability during the drift.
Seriously though, you might be better off drifting with another car, preferably something older. If you have no drift experience, it's pretty much guaranteed that you will break/wear out something. On a brand new car, those 'somethings' get expensive. Get yourself a beat up(but mechanically sound) Camaro or Mustang and learn with that. The cars are a dime a dozen, and spare parts are plentiful and cheap.

also older cars are stiffer and are almost made todrift unlike the new cars which are road huggers. by the way u could get a cheap "oldie" for less than 5,000 usd.be sure to get one light and powerful. also if its too old or not well known then itll be harder to get parts for it.
