. The G35 will need at least 20whp+ to make up for the weight...

It's all relative. In a place where an HR Z will run low 13's stock (with the 1.9 60ft the driver usually has to get to achieve that time), a stock HR G35 Sedan & G37 Coupe could run mid 13's. And a stock G35 6MT (DE) has the potential to run high 13's.

IMO, going to a slow track seems like a total waste of cash.
But I see tracks just like dyno's. It's not the number itself I care about, but how I compare to those around me and how much I can improve on it. Then, its worth every single penny of my money. Especially when im having a great time.
That's the way we have to see it down here. Again, it's all relative to where you're at...

What's the "potential" of the VQ-35?

I must have gotten a Friday @ 5pm VQ engine...my POS '06 won't go below 14.4. The 20" heavy *** wheels don't help the situation any, it has the injen intake, the HKS exhaust, test pipes, and a JWT flywheel /w exedy clutch. All I get is wheel spin/hop. 2.4 60ft and no more than 95 mph in the 1/4. I'm quite disappointed. I can only attribute it to the car since I'm such a great driver (NOT)... But I assure you it must be a combination of both or actually all three (the track here sucks for traction, no prep whatsoever during the week for test and tune, only for events).

Your 14.0@102mph wasdone at Cecil, which is arguably one of the quicker tracks in the nation. The density altitude for 4/16/08 was 17', air density was at 100%, and your engine was making 104.5% of normal power. It was an ideal day to race and conditions were largely responsible for why your car was obtaining those types of trap speeds.
