1) Weight - right off the bat, the 02-03 Maxima only weighs 3,200lbs or roughly 200lbs less.
2) Knowledge - The Maxima crowd is well versed in what it takes to go fast and how to shed every last tenth of a second. The G35 crowd is far more concerned about style and looks. And frankly speaking, most in here are clueless about general automotive knowledge and principals. They buy mods blindly and believe what their told about the gains.
I use to own a modified Maxima for over 6 years and I know what they're capable of. The VQ35 swapped 95-99 4th gen Maximas are brutal with many in the mid to upper 12s thanks to their feather light weight of 2850-2950lbs. Turbo VQ30 4th gens are running 11.5-11.7@125mph. Most of the avid Maxima racers run slicks and that makes a huge difference and typically drop their 60 foots from the 2.1s into the lower 1.8s and sometimes 1.7s. A G35 on slicks should easily do 1.8s if not 1.7s. A bonestock 6MT G35 should easily cut a 13.5@101mph with just slicks which would be a record for this group. With a couple mods, you should be looking at 13.2-13.3@104mph. Sometimes I think I should just get a 6MT so I can prove to this group that these cars are more than capable of low 13s NA on slicks.
Actually you have proven to be clueless when it comes to power on the G35 and mods. 
Trying to say DaveO is clueless and other knowledgeable people here is down right degrading.

Exactly WHAT did he bring up? Exactly WHO did he mention SPECIFICALLY?? No one!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do you back DaveO. If DaveB is my BF, then DaveO is your frickin' wife dude.
Look what happens when you assume RUSS. You look like ape ****. Congrats and for the LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY IN G-LAND, LET THE **** GO OR POST SOME LEGITIMATE POSTS TO BACK UP YOUR CRAP.
Because all you have been doing is taking cheap shots at Dave WITHOUT AN OUNCE OF PROOF ANYWHERE.

Ohhhh did I hit a nerve? lol.
He has brought it up in the past several times towards DaveO. It's easy to find if you search. Oh yea thats right, you don't have a clue how to use it. Except you like to slander people on these forums instead.

It is so obvious you're only on this site now to cause drama when I post. I'm flattered
No you haven't. But your bumbling incoherent rants about nothing are frustrating. And have you been able to counter any of DaveB's points? NO. You just talk the crap w/o proof.
You mean like this?

Is this thread a joke.....?
Seriously....
Where are all the timeslips from G35's?
There are WAYYYY too many people here concerned with spending $1,000's of dollars on "llok good" mods. That is the DEFINITION of RICE.
I am gonna bring my POS 2004 6MT to the track and break into the 13's on a STREET tire, and then get called a liar by the contingent....
I agree 100% with DaveB
