Ok forgive me for the ignorace....first off I am a Mustang guy with lots of experience building and drag racing stangs. The G35 has caught my attention over the past couple of years and I'm really considering buying one once I come back from deployment. I love the styling of these cars and they seem to make descent power. I have searched some of the tech articles on here and it seems the cars run pretty good and I was browsing through the top 25 1/4 mile times on this site and looking at some of the mods. How difficult would it be to acheive some low 12 second times with these cars and what kind of mods are we talking about? Is it possible to do it all motor with no power adders? Dumb question I know, I guess anything is possible with the right amount of cash. Someone school me please. Thanks

 

You will need power adders for sure for some 12 second passes I would suggest the greddy tt, some good suspension, and some proper wheel/tire combo.

 

Not much to mkae a good 12 second car out of these machines. Check out the Forced Induction thread here and welcome to the boards!

 

Honestly, your wasting your time trying to drag this car... Not worth the money you'd dump into it

Intensepower's 900 hp G ran a 11.0 best.

If anything your better off getting a Z

but hey, if you've got the time and money then the sky's the limit.

 

You make it seem as if the Z is any different. They are mechanical twins with different bodies.

 

900 pound weight difference.

 

900 lb difference between the G & Z?

 

hardly 900 but nice try z weight is around 3180 and the g coupe is around 3480 so about 300

 

04 sedan here @ 3380

Z 900lbs lighter

 

I dunno. If the only purpose for the G is a low 1/4 time, I'd consider something that has a solid rear end.

 

he said low 12s

 

Well Z's will be faster to being with because of the weight reduction.. Plus they have a shorter wheel base so that means less drivetrain loss and a tad more hp from a shorter exhaust.. Yes those things are marginal, but they count.

Even though they are identical, there is just way more performance mind set for a Z than a G.

 

all i can say is that takes a ****load of power to make a decent time. I did a 12.4 with just a vortech and a stock block, so thats about as easy as it gets.

 

My G coupe was 3655 with me in it (I am 225lbs) and I have TT with a big FMIC.
