You are absolutely correct. Although, we must also consider that the numbers are so close, even in the upper ranges, that unless the driver's are both perfect, it would be pretty much the same.

With that being said, BMW has a history of having lower hp cars that are very efficient in their power delivery to the wheels. The M5 is obviously no exception. That thing is a beast!

 

True! With the 330Ci the numbers are so close even up high, even though the G has the edge in that range, it would still depend on the drivers.

Yeah, I agree with you, the M5's a different story altogether -- it pretty much rules in the domain of sport sedans. Even the big AMG Benzes respect that mighty beast!

If you are in a stock G35 and beat a M5, the driver of the M% was doing something very wrong. I have gone up against an M5 and a Cobra(Both 2003 I think) and lost badly. Starting from a dead stop, both spanked me from the get go. I had multiple trials against both cars because we raced again at each red light we hit. I do not know if the other cars were stock.

 

WHo said I beat him? Are u on drugs. Read the post. He got ahead of me and never pulled away to 135 MPH. It happened and that is why I posted it. I got my *** whooped by a Evo Revolution but that was from 0- about 70.

 

i was about to shoot myself when i saw the quiznos commercial

 

Yeah this thread is definitely funny! My wife has an M5 and its not even in the same category. Even a turboed G35 won't beat it, it will hang but it won't beat. If the guy down shifted to third on you, you would know, especially if the Traction control is off, he would have gotten a little sideways before the car hooks up.

jaerian are u stupid,
the greddy twin turbo is like one of the only turbos for the g35, so im assuminng that your saying that a twin turbo g35 cannot beat a M5. A TT g35 can do 1/4 in less than 12.8 a M5 can do 1/4 in 13.2.

 

I would like to see some dyno number and better yet time slips of a Greddy TT G35 doing 12.8. Put up or apologize to Jaerian for running your mouth. I've only see as high as 350 RWHP for a Greddy TT 350Z and there is NO CHANCE a G35/350Z is going to run 12.8 with 350 HP.

 

I just ran my g35 STOCK against Mclairen F1 and i smoked him, and i had 8 people in my car not including me(2 people in the trunk) each weighing about 250LBs.(americans are obese)............................................ .............................

 

Yeah, the M5 is a fast car--a work of art.

I haven't seen any timeslips for a supercharged or TT G35 other than my own--but I can tell you that there are several well-documented times for 350Zs with forced induction in the mid-to-low 12s. As much as some might not like to hear it, there is a preponderance of evidence to suggest that the 350z runs markedly faster than the G35 with the same HP.

However, I personally have run a 13.2 in my supercharged G35 sedan on a very hot and humid night, even missing 3rd gear and banging off the rev limiter for almost a second. I guaranfreakingtee you I'll break into the 12s as soon as the track is open on a cool night. If you want me to shut up until that happens, fine.

I apologize to jerian not because im wrong, but because of my tone of language. but i got that number from Performance magazine.

Stock 280 HP/ 244.4 WHP
GReddy 370HP/ 334.2 WHP

Stock 238.5 lbs
GReddy 339.2 lbs

Stock 14.02 @ 101.89 MPH
GReddy 12.79 @ 106.53 MPH

 

my fault....those are 350Z numbers. so the g35 with TT will be in the low 13s. definitely be able to hang with a M5.
