Last year for Pontiac (2009)? they actually out sold Buick here in the states. A great American Icon gone;
Tri-Power Ram-Air Judge TransAm 1st US muscle car, the GTO. We might not have this forum today if not for the Goat and it's impact on our car culture. |

Running a 13.2 at 106 and talking smack. I trap your speed in the 1/8th! Lol
I'll let you get to 60 then go and I'll have you by 120 |

No I'm just sick of the g8 gt's sent down from heaven by Jesus that are untouchable by anything less then 8 cylinders, it's just ignorance to think so.
The 13.2 was stock. I'm not stock anymore... I realize the potential for the LSx powered cars and how the react to mods, but I also realize the limitations of GM torque management on stockers like the g8 gt. Let's bench race a $30k v8 sedan with $15k in mods. Sorry to challenge the car from the heavens..... G35 is slow and not outright "fast" by any means, but don't get upset when a car stock out of the box is running slower or about the same as a n/a engine almost half the size. 5.7 owners get even more mad when you dare challenge their hemi.... It's kind of entertaining really. They ALWAYS revert back to some youtube vid or timeslip of some random dude running WAY faster then I have ever seen lmfao. Then I show the well documented 13.0 g37 sedan runs stock and they have no backup then. |

A stock for stock I wouldn't be mad if a g35 kept up. Our cars stock are pretty slow. Bad gearing, sloppy trans, heavier weight, your car should be as fast if not faster.
Either way, both fun cars to drive |

Well, you wouldn't have to worry because stock for stock it wouldn't keep up. Except maybe for that 1 very special G35 that is constantly posted about on this forum. And the "downside" to having a 100k powertrain warranty (Infiniti has only 70k) , and a motor with enough torque to actually break something, is aggressive torque management on the tranny. That can be removed with a $200 Cortex tuner. The fastest g35 ever documented in any reputable source is 13.9 in the 1/4. They range from 13.9 - 14.1. The fastest VQ HR's on G35driver.com are below. These are not average times. These are not random times. These are the FASTEST times: 1. J30VTEC -------- 07 -- Sedan --- 5AT - 13.683@102.22 --- 2.114 60ft -- Verified --- Street 1. Cali G --------- 08 -- Sedan --- 6MT - 13.823@102.05 --- 2.098 60ft -- Verified --- Street --- 1535ft DA - 13.59@103.8 Corrected 2. vstrizheus ----- 07 -- Sedan --- 5AT - 14.064@98.09 ---- 2.145 60ft -- Verified --- Street 3. spacecowboy ---- 07 -- SedanX -- 5AT - 14.071@98.51 ---- 2.076 60ft -- Verified --- Street 4. da mayor ------- 07 –- Sedan –-- 6MT - 14.077@99.79 ---- 2.121 60ft –- Verified --- Street 5. IvoryPearl07G -- 07 -- Sedan --- 5AT - 14.095@101.94 --- 2.199 60ft -- Verified --- Street --- 2298ft DA - 13.73@104.61 Corrected That averages out to 13.95 in the 1/4, which is exactly what every single independent source says that they run. Now for some reason there's 1 guy who runs faster than any other G35, by far. And he runs on a slow track. And he's got an auto. And he posts on this board, constantly. And if that 1 in a million G35 raced any other normal G35 HR....guess what....he'd put several cars on it in the 1/4. I can't explain this 1 in a million G35, but all the rest of them, including the ones driven by enthusiasts, run about 14 seconds in the 1/4. It's quite comical to see this unicorn of a G35 being passed off as if it's the norm...because the norm for a G35 is about 14 seconds. __________________ |

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 Last edited by 08-G35s/6MT; 09-08-2013 at 04:32 AM. |
