This maybe a very stupid question but while watching Youtube and saw this white First Generation G35 sedan beat a Second Generation G35 at the drag strip..and it was a BIG difference. It didn't sound nor looked modified...
From what I've been reading, the 1st generation car is about the same horsepower like 298 hp. Am I getting the information wrong?

That is NOT a stock car.
There's only a slight difference between the 03-04 vs. 04-05 (20hp rated difference). 1/4 mile times are very close. Manual vs. auto would make more of a difference.
an 07+ will beat any of the older cars though (manual or auto). Test driving an 06 and and 07 auto back to back. It felt more like a 50hp difference. But, the .5 second or more in the 1/4 mile shows that same "feeling" I had.

The '07 G35 sedan has an all new VQ35HR engine rated at 306hp at the crank. I'm not sure about all the changes, however, I do know the engine now has a dual intake system and a higher 7,500rpm redline. The entire exhaust system is also supposed to be freer flowing IIRC...
The 306hp rating is under the new SAE rating, so even though the '06 G35 coupe was rated at 298hp, the new rating would have been over 315hp under the old system.

And that thread has some dyno comparisons... funny how that thread was originally from g35 and now I linked it back
