Good as M3???
#31
Well is the OP talking about Freeway racing or 1/4 racing? I've been to the tracks on several occasions. Not once have I've seen a G35 winning a race.
Maybe it's because the track was only 1/8 of a mile long? This was at Irwindale. And I think it was the same Black supercharge G in the link above.
The G sounded horrible. It even lost to a little CRX but 4 car length. haha.

If you can launch an FI G, an STi may pull on you up to 50 or so, but beyond that the drivetrain losses (a lot of friction in AWD) are gonna slow that beast down and the massive high end power of an FI G would probably gain on them.
Case in point: STi vs. SC G35 (Stillen), STi gets him on launch, G35 catches back up, and barely loses:

Keep in mind that the Stillen SC is the "mild flavor" of FI with real gains mostly in the low to mid range. There are a few guys on here pushing well over 100+ hp on top of that! STi would be breakfast.

thanks for the posters with advice.
i like my car, i've always like nissan, like the way the car looks, and liked it when i test drove it.
like everyone, there are things that i feel could be improved on our cars. i hate the clutch, think the sound system could be better, and engine a bit stronger. i guess i'm getting used to the power, but i just don't get the nice kick or launch that i like to. i have driven sti's and an am driving m3 now, so i'm just comparing, and wondering how else i can improve my car.
so, i guess i will post somewhere else. i have searched before about these things, but one of the points of a forum is to just post something and have others who know the answer post a quick response. i've answered others plenty of times without giving them a tongue lashing.

Is it possible?
What upgrades?

My best friend has a 645I here are the specs on it...As from what i can tell MSN auto's numbers are actually EXTREMELY accurate.
BMW 645I Coupe
(per MSN Auto's) 2004 BMW 645i coupe - V8 4.4L (325 hp) 6A 6M SMG6 + ABS 0-60MPH = 5.36 1/4 mile = 13.90 @ 104.90
BMW M3 Coupe
(per MSN Auto's) 2003 BMW M3 2-door coupe - 3.2L (333 hp) 6SMG + ABS 0-60MPH = 5.34 1/4 mile = 13.85 @ 105.90
As for my car when him and i race (everyday ) he will not pull 1 foot on me and i will not pull one foot on him all the way to 100MPH. Both the 645I and the M3 are extremely close in performance this shows that my car, as it is, is barely slower than the M3 (about half a car), which when i have raced M3's is about what i loose by - by the time we hit 100MPH.
Hopefully this post made sence.

Ill run STI's on the freeway all day long and not be beat and all i have is an intake, exhaust, spacer.

Lil s2k smoked the G on every roll... hahah.. And the G35 has a larger motor and a V6.... I know, the G is TORQUELESS. hahah.

Please, let's try and have a little bit of knowledge/common sense before making ignorant comments
Let's put this one up against an STi...
Or better yet, some of the guys with twins, their Gs are so stupid fast they just look at you and you've already lost.

Stock G vs S2k with intake and header.
S2k Owns all 5 races. 25mph roll, 50 mph roll, 60 mph roll, dead stop. etc etc.
Face it people. Our cars aren't made for racing.

This site, which compiles info from diff magazines/sources, shows same 1/4 mile times and even quotes G35 as having a faster 0-60 time by 0.3 seconds !
Yeah if the G is torqueless the S2k is even more so
These times may not be realistically achievable to most drivers but these times show times RELATIVE to each other (like pre/post-dynos to see how much hp you gained, not how fast you are) and show times achieved by professional unbiased drivers.
Someone shoot this motherfvcker zz or
