I dont think you guys give that guy enough credit. Car looks nice minus the rims. Plus if he has half the mods he states, that car will still blow 99% of the other G's out there =P. Dont be so quick to jump on the hate bandwagon, there was defanatly some serious blood/sweat/tears put in that car. Just curious as to why he's sellin after all that hard work???

Guys, the drivetrain loss factor is not strictly a percentage. No way there is 200 HP drivetrain loss. Remember much of the loss is converted as heat and 200 HP loss is the same as having 150,000 Watts of heat in the trans and rear end. Trust me, at that heat input, the trans and rear would be puddles in short order.

My G35
It is funny how you guys are talking about my car... By the way, my car is over 800HP without nitrous. I have built the engine from the ground up after blowing 3 VQ35 engines. I have custom parts in the car to handle that power. The only thing I can say is that I spent twice the amount of money for half less of the power that I had on my Twin Turbo Toyota Supra. My Supra was 1,600 HP to the wheels. I unfortunately spent too much money and I am not happy with the results. But I don't know what is the big deal. Why would I lie about where I live and what I do to my car. I put alot bigger projects than my G35. Also I know that $70,000 is alot for my car, but I have known people to sell G's and 350z's for that amount with less power to Japan, Netherlands, Germany.... I will actually take $50,000 for the car, but not less. I have offers for over $40k, but I won't take that. If I don't sell this time around, I will be putting a Nissan Titan 5.6L V8 engine on my G35 and run at 1,200+ HP to the wheels. I have the entire project planned if I don't sell my car.

The reason that I am selling is because I don't want to keep putting $$$ into the G35 (unless I put the Titan engine). In addition, I need not to drive very fast cars for while. I got my Infinti back from SGP Racing and in 2 days I got a few hefty tickets.... I have been driving my Denali after getting couple speeding tickets with my G35.

SR71: maybe you can check up on Ryan Woon that had over 10 Supras with 1,600HP+. Suprastore.com (Arizona) have several brand new Supra engines made in Japan with over 1,300 Horse Power (with warranty). I raced an Enzo before in Beverly Hills. Light to light and I smoked the Enzo. Maybe you don't realize the power that I have on my car and just want to make stupid comments. Is that jealeousy? Why don't be happy for someone that put as much effort and money to a car like I did. I would gone through all the trouble if I didn't like the car. You're very rude and disrespectful!
