Hey while we are at it, we can have another bet on how many times this topic has been covered on Driver!

350z is faster than a sedan and coupe all stock. The one thing i have noticed when racing a 350z is that 4rth gear they start pulling slowly. On the other hand coupe is as fast as sedan. There are so many variables that can cause the outcome to go to either way. Tires, rims, launch, momentum and all that and ultimately the driver.

I personally never lost to a coupe 03 or 06.

Back in 03 the sedan was quite a bit lighter and had a better coefficient of drag. Take the driver out of the equation and my money is on the sedan.

Is that just in one section or the whole forum? You might be a little low.

No worries bro, we're just razzing you! Although the subject has been talked about alot on the forum. On paper the Sedan should come out on top, however the difference is so minimal that it's basically a driver's race. Your best bet is to get you and your buddy to the track and find out.
