What Kind of Potential Does '06 Coupe 6MT Have?
I have searched and searched and searched and I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. With an '06 coupe, REV-UP, 6-speed, what kind potential does this car have with bolt-ons? I know stock they're low 14's apparently so with a 5/16 spacer & MREV2 manifold would that put it into high 13's?
My ultimate goal is low 13's / high 12's but it seems like I would need about 400 WHP to make this happen with the S/C. I'm just trying to see how far can we get without going FI.

intake, headers, exhaust, mrev2, 1/2 inch spacer, test pipes, 3.9 final drive, any mild cams will do, and engine management like utec, with drag radials, i believe u will hit low 13's at least if ur a good driver.

I was honestly freaking out for not buying the '07 Z with the HR motor that I looked at when I picked up my '06 G35, lol. I was like you have to be kidding me the '07 Z runs 13.5 bone stock and we can't hit it with bolt-ons.
What REALLY confused me was the top 1/4 mile times thread and they just seemed awfully low.
Okay so intake, headers, MREV2, spacer, test pipes, 3.9 final drive, cams, and tuning? So that's just your typical bolt-on mods and with DR's and a good driver / good conditions low 13's would be possible? Would it be completely unrealistic to shoot for high 12's? Assuming optimal conditions, etc.

Low 13s/upper 12s is going to take all the mods you listed plus slicks (not DRs) a prayer. With slicks, you'll run the risk of snapping a halfshaft and roasting the OEM clutch. Also, where do you live because that will largely determine just how quick you'll. If you're not an experienced drag racer, it's will take you a lot of practice to get there. There is only one guy on this site that's achieved anything lower than a 13.4 with bolt-ons.
If you wanted to go fast for cheap, you should have gotten that Z because going 13.1-13.4 stock is a no brainer and that's without slicks. It will take you $2-3K in mods to get there with a G. With slicks only, those cars should do upper 12s. From a roll, an stock HR Z will walk a bolt-on G quite easily. The bolt-on Gs usually go 102-103mph where as the Z will do 105-107mph.

DaveB,
Most of the places where these HR Z's have ran 13.1-13.4 stock are at very quick tracks with excellent drivers.
I've seen plenty run here in Southern California. And have yet to see one break past 13.7 stock. And that's also with drivers who, just by watching them drive, have alot of drag racing experience.
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.

How would a Vortech S/C G do though against an HR Z with bolt-ons from a roll? Because to me a G with a S/C would pull all day on an N/A Z but maybe not?
