Here's a quote from a dude over on my350z:

http://my350z.com/forum/showpost.php...32&postcount=3

Was on my BFG kwd2's.

The altima is a 3.5ser which was a huge upgrade from our 2002 altima 3.5se both in power and handling. So far the altima just has manual trans, stillen cold air intake, stillen cat-back, stillen downpipes no cats, stillen headers and a short throw shifter.

My wife used to laugh becasue I bought the Z used and it was bone stock. I had aleady done all the mods to the altima. So anyway to make a long story short we picked up the Z and on the way home we got a red light so we raced( my wife knows nothing about car just likes fast cars). She pulled steadily on me up til 80 or so and then she had me by like 3 or 4 cars. The altima 3.5ser's are no slouches, look out for those on the road they are quicker than people think!!
Apparently that particular altima has been driven to a 13.6@104.

How many g's with intake, exhaust, headers, and tp's are trapping 104?

Depends where they were driving as well....Some kid on here was saying that he was running 13.6 with a stock z out in arizona i think.....I dont know much about elevation or anything, but i know here in florida this is not possible with a stock Z. So if he was running that with a stock Z where ever he was im sure the nissan altima SE-R with those upgrades would run 13.6.

Now i sound like a hypacrite saying that because i just said it wasnt possible, but i was talking about here where im from (i was never thinking of anywhere else until i saw this post). Anyways back to the original post....if a stock Z was running that wherever then that means a stock G would be running about 13.8-13.9 around that......

Also, take into consideration that breating mods for our cars make a big different...look at the altimas mods if the Z had those same Mods it would smoke it.....One more thing we are talking stock vs stock.

One more thing i forgot to say...the SE-R is limited to 260HP because of how it breaths it doesnt have the tuned parts that the Z and G have. If you take off those parts on the SE-R you have the exact same engine as the 350z and g35 except that its 100 pounds lighter. So i believe that a modded SE-R would be just as fast as a modded G35...if they had the same parts. Now stock vs Stock the G35s parts are tuned to be faster.

That's all.

You should be able to outrun 07 Gs, IS350s, Mustang GTs, etc
Most G35s, even those that are modded short of FI, cannot do that... so your experiences arent exactly the norm. (no offense intended though, i think its great that you got that much power)
I raced my friend IS350 and i beat him real bad he couldn't believe it. Because he was talking **** about my car and he can beat me easily, when i did beat him he was speechless .. Damn it's feel good

GTT where are you from? i wanted to use this as part of my argument...Here the IS350 runs 13.7 on the 1/4 mile....If he is running that then you have to be running atleast 13.6....and the kid before me said that this kid had a SE-R with breathing mods that ran 13.6 so that would mean our car with the same mods is faster........possibly?

ok well for the first time since i got my G, i took out my 05 maxima with intake exhuast timing (automatic), the g is def a nice amount faster up to like 80, then its not that big of a diff.. Strange thing is though i messed with some kid in a bone stock maxima just before i got home and he took me pretty bad so somethings wrong with my car. I used to run pretty close with 6 speed se-rs with this car too.

POINT BEING anyone who thinks the G will spank a 6speed se-r can come down to nissan of queens on rockaway blvd and woodhaven in queens, and i guarentee you thats its not as big of a diff as you think.

I'm from Colorado,
I raced my friend twice, and I beat him every time. The IS350 has 306hp and my G has 273whp which is equal 323hp. don’t forget that when I dyno my car the weather was very hot, I think it's should be around 280whp when I raced him. The IS350 has one passenger with 210lb, and I was by my self.

When I race people I start from 1st gear rolling, the rpm should be at 4.5kRPM, because it's the highest TQ I have on the dyno curve. I race until I hit the 4th gear then slow down.

From my experience, before I have the Utec on my car, I was running 254whp. I went to drag race in perfect weather, I ran 15.3 1/4 which is 14.3 in see level. After I have my Utec on, I went to drag race and I ran 15.6 at 94mph which 14.6 is at see level. The point is the perfect with in Colorado make huge different in hp, because the cold AIR has more O2 inside it.

Long time ago, I posted on a picture on how my Injen Intake setup looks like and it might make different. because the thing that I don't understand is when people have stillen intake or z-tube with K&N filter and there is no enough air going to the engine this could make huge different at high speed and the response for the car.
This is a picture for my CAI injen setup, as you can see it's on the bumper and the air hit the intake direct with nothing block the way, I extremely recommend this setup.

Our G's are fairly fast, but not quick. Too heavy to be considered quick or nimble or any of that. That's why I just installed a Stillen S/C

Last night i emailed the guys at Nismoparts.com which is an official nissan performance dealer and they said that the G35 is indeed faster than the SE-R...It is not a whole lot faster, but it is still faster.
I can post up the email if you want.....

Non-revup g versus SE-R, I think the differences are so small that they're basically equivalent. It's close enough that a quarter-second screw up on either party's part, be it a little too much tire spin, a slow shift, or whatever, will hand the race to the other guy.

Well! I for think the G is fast. It's faster than 80% of the cars on the road. U guys prolly take care of ur car and go nice and slow. But i smoke dat bitch and zoom past cars in a quicky. I let them know dat da GzZ got Speed. I only have a stock G, no mods or n e thing. And bout the Altima. No way. If u go stock n stock. A G will win. Anyways a G-35 is more of a luxury brand of Nissan with more amenities and comfort. It hides it's muscles well.

I agree with you that our g35s aren't that fast, but it's plenty quick. Even though it may not be able to keep up with some cars, it can definately hold it's own. Feel more sorry for the 350z, b/c our cars aren't even technicaly considered "sports cars" and can easily hang with them.

My car is stock, and I have no intention of getting performance mods, b/c I don't think I really need it. I haven't been smoked by that many cars, and when I do, I will probably be trading my car in for a faster car.

One question I have is, why everyone keeps saying the Evo/Sti's are so fast. I mean I know it's fast in the quarter, but the highway is where the big boys play (bmw, mercedes, corvette, viper, any supercar, etc.) Evo/Sti are geared like Mustang GTs. Fast in the quarter, great bottom end power, and very quick up to 120. But after those speeds, I heard the g35 will beat it.

-_-

I didnt feel like reading all 6 pages that was previously posted so i dont know if this was said already.

regardless which is faster ...are ppl stupid enough to believe everything they see on you-tube?

I can make a video of my G leaving a GSXR1000 or a Lambo, not saying it can outrun those but i can make it look so in the video

people make vids with friends to make their cars look fast or make a vid of them racing a car & the other car is not really racing them, just in a hurry to get to work!!!
