When I was n/a, I had every bolt on possible (intake, headers, test pipes, plenum, exhaust, utec, etc.) and I would pull M3's by 1-1.5 cars by 100mph. Same results for races with slightly modded Sti's & Evo's (intake & exhaust only). All of these races from a roll since the G is not too great from a dig, at least on street tires that is. But even from a stop, I would at least catch up and be even with them by 100mph.
Now for me being FI (Vortech SC), I am pushing right around 380-390 to the wheels. Let me tell you, I have not lost to ANY Sti's, Evo's or M3's except for 1 Evo. That was because he had an upgraded t4 turbo pushing around 400 AWHP. As for M3's in specific, I put BUS LENGTHS on them. Where does this bs come from that a FI'ed G can maybe "keep up" with an M3? Bimmer owners need to get over themselves and there cars
. If they don't want to, then come race me and get a reality check

Period.

I thought adding this at the end would discourage people from saying that

...When ppl take numbers from a Mag or websites, they tend to use or pick and choice the numbers that best suited for their arguments, but as along as they use numbers from same source? I have no problem with them... Just for example, one can quote numbers for M3 from MSN (5.34, 13.85) and compare it with numbers for G35 from "EuG35" posted (5.5, 14.2)and think... well M3 isnt all that much faster than G35!

What in the hell are you talking about. The reason someone(at least I) would quote a magazine number is to compare two cars, because they were tested in relatively similar conditions/driver skill. Out on the street a driver's skill is a big factor in which car will win. That's why someone would quote a magazine number, to compare stock cars. I don't see how that would make someone a noob
and got all defensive for no good reason, I guess talking about M3s bring out the best in G35drivers.Calm down a bit and reread my post, I didnt say "you" were/are the one who is doing to compariosn, but "one" could quote the numbers for the G from "your" source and compare it to the numbers for M from Nismo G's source.

Considering a souped up Honda can run in the low 9's...
But again, I have a G. And why? Because I like the way it looks. Enough said..
a go kart with 50 hp motor will run 6 second 1/4 mile, i don't see your stupid point.
i have a s/c m3 and can run 12's. i got my doors blown off by a TT g35. i definately think that they will be running low tens maybe even 9's. until you race something or have even driven one, i wouldn't make stupid assumptions.

This thread is funny as hell, I had a Vortech at one time pushing over 430hp and I have been on drives with limeg35 so I know how fast I am compared to an M3...lol plus the Vortech is cheap and reliable and fast.
Spent 38k on the car and 4k on the vortech installed and another 2k in additional mods, that is still less than a price of an M3.

We shouldn't be mag racing in the first place. My fastest NA time was 14.00 at 99-100 mph with just a z-tube, y-pipe and crawford plenum. I'm now FI and I can't see anyone saying a well-tuned Vortech can just keep up with the M3. To the guy that said a FI G can't hang with a stock STI, you need to look at trap speeds and not just ETs. You'll see the strongest Vortechs running +112 mph in the 1/4 mile. As a reference, the M3 traps 106. A 4 mph deficit equals about 2 cars lengths down the 1/4 mile, so you get the picture. The last guy I took for a ride in my car, now has a Vortech G35...nuff said, and it didn't cost him no where near $20k to do it. As far as handling, a good pair of sways and springs will do wonders for you and those can be had for less than $600.
To the OP, do yourself a favor and hang out in the FI section of this forum. Too much misinformation over here.

The G35 doesn't launch very well. I've been down the 1/4 mile dozens of times and my very best 60' was only 2.01. We have TT Gs that run low 12s, but when you factor in a trap of 119 mph, that's not a car you want to mess with from a roll. In other words, the ET is not the only factor of what the car is capable of doing.
