Motor Trend tests the 05 280 5AT G sedan...it's not faster
While at the airport today, I saw the new Motor Trend with a comparo test of the 05 G35 sedan 5AT, the 06 BMW 330 5at, and A4. The 05 G went 14.7@95.9mph. The quickest G35 sedan they ever tested went 14.6@97.1mph. That was an 03 model. Remember that MT corrects all their times to standard conditions (sea level, 20% humidity, 29.8 baro).
It looks like those of us that thought the 03/04s were actually making closer to 280hp were right.

It's okay. The rest of the revisions made the wait worthwhile to me.
It's all good.
As for the Motor Trend - I have a subscription and it pisses me off that it's available on the shelf before I get my copy at the house. The last issue I have has the BULLITT rematch on the cover - 05 Mustang GT vs the 06 Dodge Charger.
Very boring story except for the section on the original movie chase..

there are many unknowns, it could very well be possible.
