this confuses the heck out of me, why are so many people claiming that the 05-06 is MUCH faster the 03-04 and thats not even talking about the 6MT vs 5AT debate and the coupe is faster than the sedan debate..... all i got to say is that the slips show everything and internet racing its really stupid.

 

^What do you mean? I think the only question on this thread is are his times on par with what everyone else has........In my opinion he is a lil slower, but like he stated.....he has only been driving a manual for 2 months.

 

it may have being a little OT but, what i means is, look at DaveB time, he drives an 03 5AT, now look at the 05-06's time slips, you will see what im talking about

 

Well to me, until you get eberyone to go to the same track to get numbers they are all just numbers. You have different altitudes, tempatures, and humdity. With all those uncontrolable varibles, everyone's times are just that, everyone's times.
I used to race very regularly, and my opinion is that the coupes are just a lil faster. The manuals are again just a lil faster, and year built is a lil trickier.
03-04's are faster at the get go, but by the end of 2nd gear the 05-06's start to edge ahead, just slightly.
I have done this several times with several different G's.I'm ot the engineer here, but troque is what gets you going and Hp is what keeps you going, more HP, more speed. Hard to explain, but again this is my opinion so take it for what it's worth!

 

I've been to the track only once, and it was last year. My car is a 2003 Coupe, completely stock. I didn't remove anything from the car, I've never ever tried racing of any sort before so it was a real first timer for me.

I did a 14.51 @ 99.6 mph

I have the april 2003 issue of car and driver where they introduced the car and did some performance testing with the exact same car as mine (it was even in caribbean blue) they claim the car does a 14.2 which mean i pretty much such at launching that thing

 

Alright so imma go again today to see if i can beat my time i have a half of tank of gas probably will be a little less than that when im their and ill post my times and let you al know whats up. My friend whos more experienced them me has the same car black g35 06 coupe and he will probably get better times and then we can compare.

 

my run was at Infineon Raceway which is in Nor cal

R/T = .251
60" = 2.260
1/4 = 14.450
MPH = 98.64

im have a stock 04 base model g35 5AT with only a Ztube

 

i have probably ran my car about 50 times since then, there is no way im finding any slips from 2 years ago. its not like the time is astonishing

 

Are you really serious? A 14.1@99mph is entirely believeable with a 6MT. If I can get 14.3s in a stock 5AT sedan, surely someone with TP and a 6MT should do lower 14.1s. Hell, 13.9s are quite possible. The issue at hand is most people absolutely suck at driving their cars.

 

Got all u beat. '03 Hummer H2 with magnaflow exhaust. 17.5 sec 1/4 mile. haaahahaaaaaaaaaa

 

Gotta take my sht to see what she will do.!!

 

14.33 @ 99mph stock at Orlando Spin World.

14.00 @ 99mph on a hot 90 degree day at Bradenton Motorsports with Crawford plenum, Crawford hi-flows, and HKS exhaust.

I will hit 13s this fall since I'm finally getting a new transmission and I replaced my cats with test pipes....but I've also been saying I'll run 13s for the a long time and I continue to disappoint myself.

 

13.1 @ 109 Mission Bc (sea Leavel)
Vortec Sc ****y Starts Best 60 Foot Was 2.2

 

I ran again yesterday, and i hit 14.7 at lacr with my buddies g35 and 14.8 with mine his is much faster. its stock with no upgrades like navi sunroof etc. But now im satisfied with times.. To bad i dont have my car anymore got jacked...

 

^not a bad time, its about 14.259 at sea level.
