[Ok Ryan I said this out of rim jealousy ;]

OT, but what wax do you use on your car? It was unbelievably shiny when I saw it at the dyno shop.

I use Zymol once like every 8 weeks or so. But the key is the Eagle One wax as you dry. I use it every wash. It keeps a good layer (not too much) on the car and shines well, and you can use it with whatever you dry with (absorber, chamois, etc...) Wax doesn't last long on black in good ol' FL.

...or if you drove it more and got used to the 6MT. Anyone who says that their stock Maxima feels faster than their G isn't driving their G enough.

Haha. It feels faster than the max, but definitely not near 1.5s faster 0-60. I've given it more than enough time and driving like I stole it to prove me wrong. Come on guys, if it was all that Vortech wouldn't be in business (or at least Vortechs for the G wouldn't be selling like hot cakes)

Chuck, yeah that's how it is in FL weather. Wax melts under the sun. That's why I love Zaino, some people will argue that it's not the best, but I put 5 coats of it about 5 months ago and haven't touched it ever since. My car still shines like on day one. I've been thinking about putting some wax over the Zaino once I re-zaino it again, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort. Anyway, your car looked amazing, great job taking care of it

ONE POINT FIVE SECONDS faster?? in 0 to 60????
that would be 7.0 0-60 car!!! A civic can do that!

its even within a second on the quarter mile. so of course ur max is not 1.5s slower.

but if u need to improves by 1.5 u need to find a 4.0 0-60. Does a M3 run a 4.0??? didnt think so

It's actually 7.1-7.2 0-60. Ran a 15.8 in the 1/4. It's a slushbox what do you expect. No matter what it's not a civic. The G 6mt does 0-60 in ~5.7-5.8s and 14.3 in the 1/4 on a good night. That's a 1.3-1.5s difference. What's so hard to believe?

I never said I "needed" something 1.5s faster than a G35 (and btw no stock G35 is a 5.5s car, don't know where you got this from). 1.5s faster than the G is 997s category. All this magazine racing is getting old.

I was rounding down to give u the benifit of the doubt. You acted like you expected the difference then claim its not there but now u say it is there with stats to prove it. I really dont know what side u are arguing for so i'll stop respnoding to ur anti-G remarks.
