I read your comments about breaking the car in properly to get more horses. Will you tell me how to do this? I have about 3000 km's on my car right now and hope it is not too late.
Thanks.

G VS Z on the track!
Here is an interesting video I saw. It's the G coupe, the Z and the M3 battling it out on the track.
Enjoy...

It really surprised/disappointed me how much more powerful and nimble her car felt in everyday driving situations.
I think that's why I had a dream of a turbo charger last night. For the power alone, I've had fleeting thoughts of trading in the G for a Z for the fun factor. But, I think I'll hold out for the next G/GTR. Besides, right now the G is our "Big" car!

i have to say it is really hard to determine which is quciker in a straight line acceleration.... I HAVE a video of a 04 350Z track 6MT vs 04 G35 6MT on a track and the G takes the Z in the corners all the while the Z cant catch up on the straights. Now in the 04's the power difference is minimal at 7hp. The biggest difference is the weight, however, I have witnesed and automatic G35 coupe(280hp) vs automatic G35 sedan(260hp) with some weight difference to benefit the coupe. Up to 100 mph the difference between the 2 cars waz maybe a 1/2 car length maybe a 2/3. Now thats 20 hp difference, or i guess the engines in the 2 cars are alot closer in performance that what Nissan would like us to think!!!!
Not too long ago i raced my friends automatic 04 350Z, i have an 03 G35 6MT and not only that i pulled from him every time i upshifted but he never cought up to me even at about 140 mph where i was 3 cars in front. To me the absolute biggest difference between the 2 cars is the driver.!!!!! I forgot who said it but its a quote that i remember.... "the bigest upgrade u can give any car is a driver!"
PS the Z driver is about 170lb where as i am 250lb --> another dissadvantage
