Is this speed normal.

i was cruisin the other day with my friend. i got it up to 100 with out pushing all the way down on the gas. and then i floored it and it climbed very fast to 125 and was going to keep going but i layed off cause of a turn. and im just wondering if it is normal for it to go that fast. either way im pumped it was AWESOME

i have a 05 g35 sedan no mods that i know of it has 48k miles on it and i love it as much as i lovehooters

^lmao!

but enough funny business...in all seriousness.....it's like that for any car, your slowly increasing the throttle to go 100, when you got wide open throttle (peddle to the metal) your car is going to feel a lot faster compared to grannying the throttle

If you were driving something fairly slow prior to buying your G, its gonna seem a lot faster than you think

Why do you want to drive so fast? The speed limit is 75 at most on the freeway

sedans have an extra 2 doors and a bigger trunk and a lot more metal, in other words, it is heavier

a cobalt SS stage 2 will smoke our 5at coupes(not sure about MT, seeing as how they got a little extra power), because it is wayyyyy lighter than our coupes, but it has a little bit less power

negative. The sedan is LIGHTER than the coupe.


OP: 280HP is going to feel lightning fast if this is your first car, this isnt your friends 110HP civic......be safe...
