2011 Camaro V6 vs. 2013 Challenger RT vs. 2008 Infiniti G35

[Muscle Car Lover]

Love this thread! I test drive a Camaro tomorrow and hopefully trade in the G35X and place an order.

That r/t will smash a v6 Camaro unless the r/t driver strokes out. They are a mid 13 second car. The G35 will be a better race.

I didn't include you in that group sorry if it seemed that way

Like Shaffe said, high 13s low 14s. People have gotten lucky and ran a mid 13 but those are outliers. You have a better chance against a coupe then a sedan like I said.

You'll love it! Just don't drive an M56 or Q70 5.6 or whatever they call it now after that It's like a 4 door SS but cradles you in a nice plus interior that is a feast for all the senses. Too much money though. If you wanna be a hooligan, SS is where it's at.

Where do we start?

First, there was no g35 coupe in 2008.

Secondly, to even have a chance against the g35 you will need full bolt ons. I ran consistent 13.6-13.7 @ 102-103 mph in positive DA.... and my car is by no means fresh, it has 140k miles on it.




Trap speed only fell to 100-101 when I left it in drive and it shifted into 4th just before the traps.

Third, a well driven vq35hr g35 sedan is a closer match to a stock untuned SS than a stock v6. I know because I have raced multiple ones at the track. This has been well documented and is a fact. I have endless threads, videos, timeslips, firsthand accounts, photos, etc to back this up.

The only 5th gen v6 camaro here to have ever broke 13's at my track is f/i. Fact.

Here's a rental G sedan at the track in florida. Ignorance is strong here(no offense) about this car. 13.0 is closer to the 12.6 record of the 5th gen SS than the V6.

[08-G35s/6MT]

The newer charger/challenger R/T's all run the same times at my track(13.6-13.9; obviously my car and theirs would be faster at a downhill track where da can get negative... like cecil or atco), if not a little slower, stock for stock... than I do. I have hours of footage recorded to back this up. Here's some of it.

The older r/t's like the 300c run low to mid 14's at the same track. Their gearing just kills them.



The 08 G's come with aggressive 3.69 gears stock. Here's a quick vid(note how it goes into 4th right at 100, have to manually hold that gear at the track)



I had a rental v6 camaro for a month(the more powerful LFX) and the gearing just absolutely killed it more than anything. Had a few runs with a friend driving the camaro and it was a consistent pull.

Ok well my friend for SURE has a coupe (2 door). He said that his car was an 08 so that's what I'm going off of

The race against the challenger yesterday didn't happen since our team couldn't go to the track yesterday. I'll tell my professor that we may be able to go Wednesday night.

This is his car that he got

The vast majority of HR's are running 14's. See http://g35driver.com/forums/drag/415...ile-times.html

The fact that one guy with a 1 in a million miracle car that probably has a tune runs nearly a 1/2 second faster than all other HR's (on a slow track) should tell you something. 99.9% of G35's are 14 sec. cars.

This!!! Everything seems to run considerably slower at his track. His car sets records though lol

Nope. You looked up the wrong car. That's not a g35.

<shrug> The G37 gained 24 hp and 100 lbs or so. Looks like it still runs in the 13.9 - 14 range. Insignificantly faster than the G35.

The 1 in a million car that I'm talking about is definitely a G35. Not that it matters much.

They can't drive, there were two hr sedans at the track last night that both ran 13's. One was stock(13.7) and the other had short ram intakes(ran 13.6-13.7).

There's only 5 cars on that list anyways...

Are you being completely and blatantly ignorant of the 13.0 run by the G sedan posted? Get your head out of the sand.

I believe real data not BS youtube videos. Every review of either the G35 or G37 puts either one right around 14.0 +/- a tenth or two.
Even people who race those cars on their own forum get around 14.0.
Then someone posts a youtube video of one going 13.0 (!!!!!!) and that's supposed to be a legit data source? From a 3700 lb 330 hp car? ROFL.
These are 14 second cars. Period. Congrats that yours is a good 1/2 second faster than every other G35 ever made, but that's probably because it has a tune.

Real data? You mean the vast sample size... the 4 or 5 cars posted on a random G forum?

14 second cars? What an idiot. Also if you would do some research on that record holding G sedan that went 13.09, you will find the car was tested in negative DA in florida and that it was a G out of a rental fleet(if you researched further you would find the ecu adapts/learns to the drivers style.... it's a rental car, use your imagination).


But oh let's ignore it... blow it off... It must be fake and it simply doesn't matter because it doesn't coincide with your personal opinion.




Just because one of these cars runs a 14 doesn't make it a 14 second car, it's been proven time and time again.... by not only me but several others, some of which you choose to be ignorant of.


Take the new 5.0 mustang, for example..... being 12 second cars but a lot of owners running 13's.... There are more 5.0's running 13's with buffoons behind the wheel than there are running 12's with halfway decent drivers. Using your flawed logic that makes them a 13 second car.
