Are you spinning??


I was mashing the brake, revving up to maybe 2000 and letting off the brake on the final yellow ball. Was giving me good r/t's and consistent 60's.

If i didn't have a full tank of gas and 50 pounds of tools in the trunk i bet i could have done better. I wasn't planning on racing, but my buddy needed a stand-in in his charity race event. I almost won it too but i had to drop out to head home for a date

 

I can hear a tiny bit of tire chirp but otherwise it just goes.
So If I'm to understand the auto drag technique its turn of the vdc, and use the manual shift from 1st to 3rd and hold it in third?

3.5

 

Yes, you are correct. If you ever raise your rev limiter to around 7000rpms, you'll probably be able to snake through in 3rd or shifting just before the finish. That's is assuming you're making typical NA power numbers.

 

When i ran at the track, i was hitting redline and shifting literally AS i went over the line.

 

According to the attached spreadsheet, mine is the 3.538. Download it and compare the speedometer/tachometer readings to your own car to determine which you have. You can enter any values you like for ratios, tires, etc. (It will always be a few percent off since our tachometers are not very accurate.)

 

Nice spreadsheet Dan.

I did it out for my car, and it is the 3.5 as DaveB also said a few posts up.



So what is the progression of gearing?

AWD gets the 3.5,
RWD 5AT gets the 3.3

What do 6MT's get? The 3.5?

 

why would you think its fast its a sedan and its a v6 and its a infinit lol. its suppose to be a chill relaxing car

 

If it was slow, i wouldn't have bought it. I can't stand gutless vehicles. But you are right. I bought my car to relax when i drive around...not race.

If i want to go fast, i drive my Mustang (yes it's much faster than my G35)

 

^well id hope so. Its like a V8 car vs your AWD V6 lol

 

Not necessarily. If my particular year Mustang ('88 LX 5.0L ) was bone factory stock, a 6MT would prob give it a run and/or beat it. I had vids of my AWD G35 beating friends in their V8 Mustangs. Drivetrain advancements have come a long way when V6's can run what v8's ran 10-15 years ago.

Fortunately for me, my Mustang is not stock But they are two different animals. When i get behind the wheel of my v8 on the weekends, i'm in love with the torque and instant throttle response and v8 sounds. When i get back into my G35, i love all the creature comforts, cozy ride and smooth top end acceleration. Completely different cars, and yet i love them both equally well. I've raced Mustangs in my G35 and won, and i've raced G35's in my Mustang and won.

 

They both have their pros and cons. The Mustang is just cheaper and easier to make quick lol
