well the 370 is just a sweet car all around

you should get some cams...we need more 12 second NA vq powered cars(that aren't spec v's)

idk it just seems much easier to squeeze power out of K20s. I had a a race header with greddy sp2 on my rsx and it was pretty damn quiet yet gained a good amount of power, seems like with these cars as soon as you take the cats out you get either crazy rasp or something that sounds like a sick race car, which is great but you can't dd it...idk

my brother's crappy LS1 gto with a cam and LS6 heads should be able to beat EVERY NA G35, yet he doesn't give two ****s about what it runs and you guys with your autos are EXPERT drag racers because you are informing me (for the first time obviously) about density elevation correction...lol
Ever think that some of us do it for the fun and we don't care about other cars? I had a fast 94 Z28 back in day. Everyone expects an F-Body, Vette, Stang, Evo, etc to be fast. It is very rare when a sporty sedan shows up at the strip. My G is significantly slower than my old Z28, but the G gets a hell of a lot more attention and respect even though it's only running low 14s. I throughly enjoy taking my slow G to the strip and hanging with or beating some muscle cars all the while having a car that can handle exceptionally, looks great, is quiet, it's not flamboyant, and can haul 4 adults in comfort. Even more amazing to me is that my G with a Z-tude posted the exact ET/MPH as my 94 Z28 did when it was stock. That's impressive in my book.

<-----had a mid 11's 1g dsm in 00-01. Followed by a 430whp 4 door gsr (one of the first honda's to make over 400whp on pump) that ran a best of 11.2@128 from 01-04. Lastly, I got this car in 05. I drag race because my life is filled with stresses and racing is my escape/ stress reliever.

I've probably made well over 500 passes in my life. Density altitude can make a staggering difference in ET and MPH. I run in the 103.5 range with DA's in the 2200'-2700' range (summer), 106 in 700'-1200' (fall), and wel...l I'll get back to with some late fall-winter DA's (-200' to -1000').

I am not gonna get caught up in this whole argument, I just wanted to say to the OP that you need a camera mount for your videos.

Stock G's are running 9.5-10's there. It's a very slippery track.
