very nice find, and very impressive! its amazing 335's running low 14's and chipped running mid-high 13's when a G37 is breaking into the 13's with 31 psi on rear tires!

 

Maybe this is due to driver experience but that's not too impressive at all. I was expecting low to mid 13s easily. I and 2 other local 07 G35 Sedan Owners are consistently pulling 13.8 @ 100mph ALL STOCK. With a better 60', we could easily dip into 13.7s. Looks like he needs more time at the track.

 

Your data is wrong. Stock, they run mid to low 13s, and chipped they can go as low as mid 11's.

I got my data from the 335's the OP was with at the track. Read his link.

 

Before anyone starts saying this time is better than that time and so on, remember we are talking about AAA Speedway in Fontana which is about 1140' elevation. This is the track that I'm comparing my runs to, nothing else. It just doesn't make sense to "virtually race other people around the country."

Regarding the 335's out at the track yesterday, they were in deed running between mid 13's and low 14's. Their mph's were good, all above 102. So you know they're making power, just not hooking up. I'm not doubting for a second they are faster, but getting the power to the ground is part of the race.

Hope to see more guys out at the track next time.

 

When I first read your post yesterday I thought your/their times were bad, but then I checked the track elevation, temp etc. I definitely believe the #'s you saw.

I would definitely like to see some G37 sedan runs at Atco or Cecil County. Those 2 are the closest tracks to me. Maybe someone can repeat the 13.5 @ 105 that Motortrend got.

 

The weather was decent for drag racing on Saturday and elevation is something we have to live with when racing in Fontana, but the main problem was that guys just couldn't launch. Nothing new for this track though. Like I said their mph's were fine. I believe they were on all street tires. After looking around the forums and talking to a couple of friends with other model cars, it turns out that run #3 for everyone was their best run. The track cooled down a little more and a tail wind picked up. So who knows maybe I could have dropped my time a little more and broke the 100 mph barrier. We'll never know.

 

Ummm, checked out your link and the fastest 335i is 11.829, which is not really mid 11's and he did it on DRs and 109 octane. His trap is nice at 117 mph.

Just trying to keep things fair.

Give the OP some DRs and race gas and see what he runs.

 

i do 13.6 in my 08 g35s 5at totally stock

 

True, my apologies.

However, there is a totally bone stock car (other than a piggyback) that did 119.XX the other week, on stock RFTs, but on 103 octane. That car ran that time last week on an effective 1376DA, which is amazing.

 

My bone stock 335 ran 13.8 @ 101 at california speedway with 900 miles on the car.
But i did have a 2.0 60ft time on the very first run with 29psi on its runflats(this thing takes off!). Now having close to 6k on the car it has gotten muchhhhh faster and won't be surprised if my next trip i get 13.5 @ 103 or something.
I have said it before and will say it again. Turbo cars are not effected by elevation like NA cars do. But at the same time in a low elevation race G37 sedan is as quick if not quicker than the 335.

TO the OP: Those are sweet times considering the amount of miles you have......

 

His same car will run mid 13s easily in flordia. Like i mentioned in my previous post, NA car is affected by elevation alone and that factor alone can rubb up to 1 second from your ET.

If my 335 runs 13.5 here it will run the same thing in florida.... You can't say the same thing about the G.

 

He'll run 13.4 with his 7AT then where ever you ran....

Dig a 4000 ft hole by the ocean, get some 60 degree air and the G37 will run in 12s

 

Thank god im in florida then. Not that the air temp helps much, but this past winter it atleast broke into the 40's, summer is a whole different story.
