Re: Cars the G won't beat

Haha, why bashing on TSX, it's a family car and never meant to be fast!
It is like comparing the G with a Camry or something...

Re: Cars the G won't beat

G will not easily walk if at all a GS400, especially up high. Auto G will see taillights to a GS400, manual good run. have witnessed a GS400 taking an auto G with ease.

03 350Z Auto 14.05@ 98.01 mph stock
03 Maxima SE Auto 14.62@ 94.35 mph stock

An auto G35? perhaps. A 6MT? No.

The GS430 does 0-60 in 5.8 secs, and quarter mile at 14.3 secs. Its 300hp, but weighs a whopping 3,715 lbs. That's fair game for a G35.

And that is the newer 430 model. The GS400 is even slower with only 280hp and the same weight. A G35 would have no problem with a GS400, but a GS430 would be close race.

Re: Cars the G won't beat

The Boxster S is faster than the G35c, mainly due to a big weight difference (over 500 lbs). Those are 13 s 1/4 mile cars (13.7-13.8 in mags, probably some owners have done better).

Oh, & the BMW 645Ci is faster than the G35c too. Even w/ auto, it's a 13 s 1/4 mile car (about same times as Boxster S manual). The Z4 3.0i is actually slightly faster than the G35c w/ equal drivers, but it's such a small difference that it's really a drivers' race.

Re: Cars the G won't beat

you are by far an ignorant person. Beating 330s easily??? they have respectable 0-60 numbers and if ur only talking about straight road drag racing....then props to ur car for beating 330s...but with twists and turns?(stock cars) 330s and the G are comparable. If you are talking about beaing 330s automatic cars...then I guess you are correct, but easily beating MT/SMG stock 330s or 330iZHP??Le'ts be honest here.

What are you talking about? A manual 330 does 0-60 in 6.4 seconds. A G35C 6MT does 0-60 in 5.7 seconds. There is no contest.

Think about it: a 330i has only 235hp, versus g35C's 280hp, and the 330i is only slightly lighter.

Re: Cars the G won't beat

330iZHP

0-60 5.9 seconds

significantly less HP than a G35 coupe yet still be able to hang with it.

Like I said, it all depends on the driver.

Re: Cars the G won't beat

That is BMW's conservative estimate. Every magazine test has gotten better times. In general, w/ equal drivers, the G35 is faster but the difference isn't huge.

You have to consider not only weight, but also drivetrain efficiency, powerband, gearing, etc.

browniesyummy, are you calling me ignorant. I hope not.

You don't even know me and I don't even know you, so you have no reason to judge me.
