1- A very small percentage of G sedan owners have or will ever track their car vs G8, Camaro, Mustang owners. I have only seen one other g35 sedan at the track this past 2 years. Less times means less bad AND good times, go figure.

2- Look at the cars that run at my track and you will find a few g8 gt's iirc, doing 13.8+ in semi-decent DA.

3- 13.6 was not a fairy pass. I did 13.6-13.7 all day.

4- This was not quite fairy weather, 1k da I did 13.6 @ 102. 2500 da I did 13.8 @ 101. Every single time I have tracked the car I have ran 13's.... It is a 13 second car, the only way it will run 14's is if you leave vdc on, 2.4+ 60 foot(which is hard to do because it has not much torque low end), you hit the limiter manually shifting, etc. It is an automatic car and the car did all the work for me, it's not a manual where the driver plays such a huge role in the time.

5- The number one spot is me.

6- if you do some research you find most g37 sedans consistently do mid 13's(13.4-13.6; hell motor trend got 13.5 @ 105.4 mph for god sake just look around). So I do not know why this is so hard for you to believe.

7- Re iteration that virtually none of the owners track their car. If as many g35 owners tracked their car like the percentage of as many G8 or Mustang owners track their car, there would be 10x as many timeslips out there and it would be more clear.

8- Technically it was 13.4 @ 103 da corrected

Kinda sounds like violin music. Drop a friggen VQ in a Titan and I'll run your ass with my little old HEMI.

You can make it as fast and fun as you want... . ... even into the 9's... ... and you will be able to see out your rear and rear side windows...
