How fast is the G compared to racers?
I see a lot of posts here about how someone raced this car or that car and the replies are getting me down. It seems the G isn't that fast because if the writer says he won then usually he gets replies like "You're dreaming!" or "Stop making up stories." So I would like an opinion poll of how well everyone thinks the G will do vs these cars. Now this is just based on stock cars, no enhancements.
So how would the G do vs:
Mustang GT
Camaro Iroc Z28
Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS
Acura RSX Type S
Acura TL Type S
Corvette Z06
Pontiac Grand AM GT1
Toyota Celics GT-S
Honda S2000
Lexus IS300
Lincoln LS V8
Mazda RX-8
Subaru Impreza WRX
BMW 3 series 325 or 330
These are the cars that I think are in or close to the G's class and would give a good race. I would just like to know which of these cars would smoke the G and which ones can the G smoke or would it be a close race between the two. Thanks for any replies!

sup?
i am not so sure about the race between the gt. I have a G and a 01 stang gt. friends and i go racing all the time and it is usually pretty even. the only mods to the gt are exhaust and intake.
G has intake and pulleys.
i took an IS300, and please. i had his girlfriend laughing at him all the way to the next light....
no clue about the other car....

No chance against a cobra, though. They put down 450 to the wheels with pulley, chip, exhaust. The 94-98 gt's were dogs, coupe could easily take one. The newer gts have a better HP/torque band due to the larger displacement/V8. Maybe with some mods a coupe could take one.

Coupe will do fine against these cars. But it doesn't matter, most of these cars don't have half the class/luxury the G35 Coupe has. Hell, the WRX STi doesn't even come with a radio. We also have great handling.
I was running with a late-model Mustang last night, I wasn't sure if it was a V8 or a V6 (it was dark out and it was a black Mustang, couldn't tell if there was the hood scoop there or not)...the dude was keeping up with me swerving around traffic, but once I opened throttle, he had no chance.

With a blower you'll still be 40+ hp (based on dynos of Stillen - 312hp at the wheels or Grubbs ATI ProCharger ~300) shy of a stock Z06 and outweigh it by ~350 lbs -- YOU'LL LOSE!
Any LS1 powered F-body or Corvette will eat the G35 with equal drivers, all cars being stock. My LT1 powered auto Z28 with bolt ons (mid 13's) was considerably faster (.5-.7 in 1/4) than my G35 6-speed and it lost to most stock LS1 f-bodys (low 13's from the factory). Until I see mid 13's out of a G35 you'll lose to the cars I mentioned, at least in *real* 1/8 or 1/4 mile running against equal drivers.

Re: How fast is the G compared to racers?
Unfortunately, no a coupe will not take anyone with a supercharger on it. Especially not another modded car. 300-320 at the wheels is still not enough to take on many of today's muscle cars. A 2003 cobra puts 360+ to the wheels STOCK. It weighs slightly more, but not by much. (If you couldn't tell, I come from a long line of mustangs) Don't get me wrong, I love my car (sedan) and the coupes-- they are exceptional performers with tons of class, power, handling, and bang-for-the-buck, but they are by no means the best sports cars out there.

Re: How fast is the G compared to racers?
a lot of you are confusing what u bought. You bought a 30 grand GT sports car. It is not an all out prefomence car. The G was not created to take down a mutang cobra or a Z06. Last time i checked we had 6 cylinders and they have 8. I also have noticed a lot of post like ur dearming and come on man its a WRX. Our car is fast and i think some of u need to show a little faith in our cars. A G sould take down most of the cars in the list u put up. I keep reading post about the WRX and the EVO. I understand they are fast cars but there not that fast. It is a drivers race except against a STi were it will win but against a normal WRX we can win. Also the mustang GT are fastbut we will still win. I raced a auto GT with exhust and intake and i am a stock auto G coupe. It ran a 14.8 and i ran a 14.2. There not that fast. SHow some faith in the G
