What do you hate about YOUR G35?
Actually it is a 6.1 liter hemi that puts out 420 hp and 420 ft lbs, normally runs at a 95-percent rear/5-percent front torque split, but has the ability to send all the torque to the front or rear wheels depending on conditions. 5.2 seconds to 60 mph, 13.5 seconds in the quarter-mile. On zeroto60times.com the srt8 was timed doing the 0 to 60 in 3.7 to 4.7 sec.
On http://www.zeroto60times.com/Infinit...mph-Times.html a 2007 G coupe 6MT was timed doing 0 - 60 in 5.0 seconds and quarter mile in 13.5 sec.
So when you factor in driver ignorance, the G coupe could easily smoke a Srt8, these are such close comparisons, it all really falls back on driver input. That is what is great about the G it can hang with anything as long as you know how to drive better than the other guy.

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 0-60 mph 4.4 Quarter mile 13.0
2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT (6.1L Hemi) 0-60 mph 4.7 Quarter mile 13.3
2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 0-60 mph 3.6 Quarter mile 12.0
it isn't supercharged...
actually I said whp, wheel horsepower, it puts about 340-350hp to the wheels, rated crank hp doesnt mean anything

You just have to be careful and make sure to compare apples to apples, that's all.

You are talking about marketing HP vs WHP, not crank HP vs WHP.
no big deal. Not everybody is a pro driver or ready to go at it and perform best way from light to light.
I have CL63 under mybelt. light to light. He would never catch traction. 0-100+runs and come to stop on a empty road in mexico. Every launch id jump 2-3 cars by the time, he was catchin up we had to stop. =]
I wanna srt8 jeep. Slammed on stockers with 315/275 tire setup. Murked.

Ok well then lets talk whp. The srt-8 has 350 whp and has curb weight of 4819 lbs. The 06 G coupe has what 245 to 250 whp and curb weight of 3416 lbs. I think you are going to need more than AWD and 100 whp with the extra 1400 lbs. If you wanna get technical you also have to factor in the fact that the G is a thing of wind tunnel beauty and the jeep is a brick wall.
right which is why at some point I said his story would be more believable if it was from a roll because they only trap around 102-104 and have automatic trannys, but from a stop the torque from that 6.1 hemi and the traction of awd is gonna be rough to overcome with a rwd g35 with 230whp(his was an 04, the 05 coupe is actually 3512lbs, 04 6mt sedan is 3398)
the power to weight ratio is still 14.77 for the g35 and 13.76 for the srt-8, also the torque band of the jeep is probably much more broad.
so the jeep traps say 102-104(possibly higher), the g35 generously traps 99-101, so yeah if the jeep falls asleep on the line it isn't going to reel in the G very hard and like you said its a brick, once you hit higher speeds it certainly isn't going to come back. We all believe this guy was ahead of the jeep, we just don't know exactly what the jeep did wrong since by the time it being a 420hp brick comes into play the G has a full second to make up if all things are equal

I was originally Playing with a 6mt 03maxima slammed on coils, exhaust and bolt ons. He had pretty bald tires and couldnt launch for his life. So cl63 cut him off and pulled up on me. On warm mexico roads.
But that was just to prove the point.
I know it like my name. Cl63 would run circles around me lol

Also Sky is rocking a 04 sedan, not a 07 coupe. And you cannot pull a generic time for the SRT8 then find the best possible one for the G35 and compare them. A G35 will not do 13.5 without perfect track conditions, better tires and alot of luck.
No the G35 cannot "hang" with anything on the road. Get it through your head... you drive a slow heavy entry level luxury car. You stupid ricers annoy the hell out of me.
