1+, the 2003 Sedan is an awesome vehicle. Don't let anyone say it's significantly slower than any other G35.

The RSX and 07 SI are both capable of 14.6-14.8s. The 5AT sedans are good for 14.2-14.5s. It would be close, but if they can't drive, they'll be toasted especially off the line. Handling wise, the G has the advantage.

2. Is my car significantly slower than a 03-06 coupe?
Not all. Possibly fractionally quicker since the coupe is about 60-80lbs heavier and puts down the same power.

3. Are doggy door 03 Sedans slower than the non doggy door sedans?
Absolutely not. Some of the quickest NA sedans on this site were/are 5AT 03 sedans. Two guys have run 14.2s stock in their 03 doggies and I've done a 14.3 stock.

The 03/04 G sedans were rated at 260hp, but it's pretty well known than they're making closer to about 275hp stock.

4. What will take my 03 auto sedan to dip into the 13's 1/4 mile?
Ummmm...a prayer and you would be the first. There are many 14.0-14.3s, but no 13s for the 03-06 5AT sedans. If we could make it so the power isn't cut when the brake and gas are applied and could get rid of that annoying initial bog from idle to 3000rpms at WOT, these cars would easily be in the 13s.

Thanx DaveB. From the little time I've been here...u seem like the "master" especially in regards to our 2003 auto sedans. I look forward to your posts b/c of their positive nature and insight and plan to learn from you while Im here...
