stock vs stock the 6MTs will always catch up after 2nd gear. Below 60mph every minor 6mt error will cause them to lose.
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/b...25fa654d79.htm This is me vs the coupe 6MT 2 years ago. One of the closest races ever! Look at the times at the end.

Funny, my 5AT is rated at 280HP, 270TQ. You need to check your numbers. Prior to '05, I believe the advertised numbers were 260/260, but also believe that those numbers were underrated - dynos prove this to be true. I think you're looking at Altima HP numbers with your quote of 275. I know of no G35 ever rated at that figure. In the right hands, the 6MT is marginally faster. In the average day to day of folks on the street, the 5AT will deliver the more consistent times if the driver learns to launch properly. My experience has been that many 6MT drivers are experts in their own minds and rarely anywhere else. ![]() |

not really a fair race to start with, the sedan weighs less and yes the AT transmission is deff more consistent
+1 for about the MT having a slight edge over AT if they were an expert

The sedans are lighter than their coupe counter parts. Lets also not forget that the as the model year increases the weight of the vehicle generally also increases (03 vs 05 for example).

Really? What if the MT vehicle had a filthy air filter, gummed up spark plugs and a 20+ inch wheels?

was that run with the 3.7 FD? That would make significant difference on the AT along with the rest of the mods. I'll have to agree with Klubbheads that mods probably had more to do with it than the drivers or transmissions.

I was there for the run. Both were, if I recall, full NA with tunes for that run. Or if not, they were both about the same in modifications. Mike & Wally always went at it
![]() The race between those two cars (OCG35 & Wally) was always a drivers race; all coming down to their 60ft's. Wally got rid of his G35; looks like I have the challenge to take over his spot (gotta get some more mods first!) ![]() Last edited by Skaterbasist : 10-22-2007 at 06:21 PM. |
