I thought the change was for 06, guess i was wrong

LOL! You got me confused for a second! LOL

I will say, me and Robert (Shrummi) did about 19 runs together. I still have the slips for some reason. Difference was about .2-.5 and 2-3mph depending on the 60ft's.

As I've said before, I could care less who is faster. It was just fun to run against a fellow G owner.

[importroller]

i would take the G to Qualcomm since its an Auto and its only 1/8 mile, but their rules are too strict for me

The altima when it was bone stock was running low 9s, but with the power in the Altima i need at least a 1/4 mile run to use my power properly

according to motor trend 14.23@99.4 vs 14.68@97.08

half a second and 2.5mph is not a hair, its like 4-5 car lengths

and the fastest ones on this site
1. BobbyD --------- 03 - Sedan - 6MT - 13.84@101 ----- 2.040 60ft --- Verified --- Street --- -1200ft DA
2. Reidonly ------- 05 - Coupe - 6MT - 14.05@102.35 -- 2.193 60ft --- Verified --- Street ----
3. Dv8 ------------ 03 - Coupe - 5AT - 14.37@96 ------ 2.217 60ft --- Verified --- Street ---- ????ft DA
4. Buccaneer ------ 05 - Sedan - 5AT - 14.39@97.09 --- 2.198 60ft --- Verified --- Street
5. 06g35meister --- 06 - Coupe - 6MT - 14.40@96.9 ---- 2.253 60ft --- Verified --- Street ---- ????ft DA

thats really not close even

sure in the street its easier to just stomp on the gas and go and maybe that makes it seem closer but thats just because you need to be a good driver to get the 6mt to perform run those times where as in an auto everyone is a good driver

Those are uncorrected times. It's hard to make a direct comparison, and it throws off the traps and ET's.

For example, I have an 03 5AT, and I ran a 14.23@99.86 in 1243 DA (haven't been put up on the list yet). This means that I would run a 14.04@101.23 at sea level. The 13.84@101 run for the top 6mt is -1200 DA, so he'd be around 14.05@99.69 at sea level. All in all, the autos are, on average, quicker than the 6mt's becasue it's just harder to get the 6mt's off the line. Autos are consistent, and if you have a strong example it'll trap right with the quicker 6mt's. Don't try to make it out like there is some massive difference. There are plenty of 6mt drivers turning in 14.7-15.0's becasue they have no idea how to get a decent 60 foot.

[00gts6speed]

its not massive but its significant, of course autos are more consistent, i said that already. also those cars were bone stock, yours isn't and 101.23 is an awfully high trap compared to other autos, perhaps your track was correcting itself...lol

and if u went from a roll it wouldn't be that close

just look here

http://www.dragtimes.com/results.php...=10&carmake=21

there is a range, you can't compare the autos at the top of the range to the manuals with bad drivers. seems like 6 speed traps range from 97 to 101 and autos range from 93 to 97(not all tracks measure the trap speed in exactly the same spot so you need to weed out the extremes)

my friend ran his mazdaspeed 3 at englishtown and got 13.9s@99-100 then he went down to cecil country dragway the next week and pulled 13.6@103.5

based on all these times it looks like the md plenum spacer is a pretty effective mod, the autos that are near 14.0@99 seem to all have that and exhaust

My exhaust added about 5whp above 5000. The Borla sort of sucks, but I'm sure the spacer helped a little. I have raced 6mt's from a roll, and beat them, but I do also have a rare base model (cloth, no nav, no power seats, 16's, etc.), so mine is a little quicker than most. Obviously there are 6mts that are faster, but there are also plenty that are not. I started with 260hp, so I'll take what I can get... 102,000 miles on the clock isn't doing anyone any favors either.

The track where I ran is horrible. The surface was poor and the track was bumpy. If I go to my regular track one of these weekends I want to say that I can guarantee you a 14.0x run with no correction. We'll have to see about the trap speed.

[00gts6speed]

a horrible track doesnt mean it doesnt give out generous times

every forum has a guy like you who ran a time faster then most other cars and goes around babbling about it.

there was a civic Si on clubrsx that ran 14.2@96 with just greddy evo and rsx's that ran 14.0@100 with just intake and exhaust...great for them but those times don't really mean much, just a fast track or a fluke run, i also saw a civic si run 15.7 because he sucked at driving

what wheels are you running?

[Jairen]

I will say this. My (6MT) and Shrummi (Auto) have more than 30 runs together at the track.

For the guys that asked for mods in the video:

06 Auto
Intake
HKS Exhaust
HR Y-Pipe
5/16 Spacer
Michelin Pilot PS2

05 6MT
Z-tube
X02 Exhaust
Goodyear Eagle RS-A

well in fairness that is a rev up vs an auto

how does rev up vs non rev up go?

Depends on driver. Non Rev-Up is rated with more torque but less HP.

What? All auto's are non rev ups.

[05G356MT]

I've gone against two auto's, each numerous times. One a G35x i/e/h/spacer/grounding kit/utec tuned by Function Tuned (arguably one the best VQ tuners in the east coast), against my 6MT with i/spacer/mrev2. Me and this specific G35x were literally neck and neck from both a dig or any type of roll. I would ever so slightly pull at higher speeds say 90+.

The second car I went against was a 04 5AT with i/e/tp and 20" volks + passenger from the beginning of 3rd gear and i literally put 4-5 cars by the time I got into 4th (i had i/e/spacer/mrev/tp).

The auto's are much more consistent (from a dig) but a well driven 6MT will always outrun a similarly modded auto (from my experience) from a dig and especially from a roll where gearing plays a bigger roll.

Note: These are all my experiences and yours may be different I hope this doesn't turn into a pissing match after all, we all drive the same cars lol

i know, i just didn't realize the 6mt was an 05+
