What makes you think a ~365-400 WHP Vortech Supercharged G will do only half a second better?

"I don't have any sort of official times or 0-60 measuring equipment, but from the other cars I've driven with fast 0-60 times, my car feels like low 4 seconds 0-60 on street tires"
Feels like? i wish i knew what 4 seconds felt like for a comparison. thats got to feel good... can u back that statement up?

I can only show you my list of mods and have you come up with your own conclusion. I'm running 295 competition tires with a 3.9 final drive and around 470-480whp on a dynojet at 12 psi.
It pushes you back noticably harder than a C6 vette does and they're like what 4.7 seconds?

it's all about the tires, gearing, lightweight drivetrain, low weight (I drive a Z btw with lots of weigh saving mods), and a lot of power.
If I can't do low 4's, than I see no possible way a ferrari F430 that weighs about same as my car and has less power (410whp and 268tq on a dynojet) can do it under 4 seconds with still having to make a gear change just like we do.

Im sure reviewers could possibly get better times on their tests, but stating it's BS without any proof is just dumb.
I never said he had a new G, but my point is that the new G sedan to the old G sedan/coupe arent that far off performance wise.
You need to state facts...
Besides, 0-60 times arent important. 1/4 miles times are much more important and show us true potential (ofcourse this all ties in with the potential of the driver too).

1/4 mile vortech times are generally low 13s
sentry65 w/ 3.9 final drive is a little different! A lot of power for a vortech combined w/ steep final gear - low 4s (or even sub-4) sounds reasonable.
Sub-13 sec 1/4 mi and sub-4 sec 0-60 I would think would *usually* req a turbo... (check out the fastest time list at my350z)
As has been said before, it's the hp under the curve that matters (look at mean hp) - that's why the stillen can compete so well even though the peak hp is so much lower than the vortech: torque is high right from low rpms and stays up there.
Only 1 way to know for sure: I'm sure someone w/ a Vortech that has been to the track or has a Gtech on board will chime in here eventually...

I would love to have a G35 Coupe that was capable of low 4's with only a Vortech supercharger. All of us would. However, it's not possible.
It's all about power/weight ratio.
My father's 2002 911 Turbo is capable of 4.0 (0-60), at least according to the manufacturer.
There's no way a supercharged G35 could come close to it.
Guess I'll just have to borrow his car if I want to feel that speed
