2k2 6 spd as fast as G35C
Was just lurking at freshalloy.com checking out the G35 forum. Apparently, the next Automobile issue coming out has a full review of the G35 coupe.
They clocked the G35C 0-60 at 6.0 seconds. Didn't the latest Car & Driver or Motortrend clock the 2k2 Max at 6.0 seconds as well?
I know, I know, don't magazine race, but I have to say I'm disappointed because I am seriously considering getting this car.

It is a fact of life...
that things change and continue to develop...computers, cars, home entertainment, the list goes on and on...
If you like the G, get it...if not, find something you will like...
short end of the story is you will NEVER have the fastest, best, etc. ANYTHING for very long without going bankrupt or insane, or both...

I read in SCC that they dyno'ed the 350Z at 249 hp at the wheels on 100 octane. That a pretty substantial jump relative what the average 2k2 6spd is dynoing.

It also is supposed to get the 6 speed from the Z which should make it a few tenths of a second quicker than the Maxima.

The new G35C weighs 3400lbs+ and the Maxima weighs under 3300lbs.
If you want performance look for the 350Z.
The G35C could not be 0-60mph in 5.6 since the 350Z does it in 5.7 seconds. The 350Z weighs less and has more HP and TQ.
Luxury and Glamour = G35C
Performance and Styling = 350Z

Any true enthus will be modding it anyways. Big deal if it is the same speed as a 2k2 6spd Max stock. It will launch more consistantly, looks better inside and out, handle better, will brake better, much nicer interior etc.. Will take to probably 90% of 350Z mods most of which cannot be crossed over to the Maxima.
The G35C 6spd will be my next car. Has anyone seen them in the dealers yet?

It's not like you will feel the difference in speed between the 350Z and G35C.

I suppose this will apply to the g35C. will be here in 3 weeks.
I saw a g35 run up on a curb while I was there !!! I mean horrible scraping that actually took a scrape out of the concrete. I thought I was gonna barf. Anyway, the guy test driving it actually ended up buying it (I know this because then I took the keys and test drove it while he was doing paper work.. lil miscommunication on the lot - I would have freaked. He was standing out front of the dealership waiting for me to come back... and I took awhile.. the ink was almost dry on his papers)

0-60 times are a function of traction as much as they are of power/weight. On a G-Tech on regular roads I have a hard time pulling under 7 seconds 0-60, yet I run the 1/4 in 14.1. Put no faith in 0-60 times they mean absolutely nothing.

I hooked up with some dude at Etown a couple of weeks ago who was running a Cooper S (that ran 15.5). Anyhow, he told me that he ran his G35 and could only muster a 14.9 second ET and trap at only 91.XXmph. When I showed him my timeslips from my 14.725second run, he seemed somewhat discouraged but even more determined to run his G35 quicker.
I definitely think the G35 should be at least as quick as an auto 2k2/3 and almost as quick as the 6sp. And definitely quicker off the line with rwd and shorter gearing. Who knows?!?

Another thing to consider...
Whether you're a magazine racer or not, is that different magazines test their cars differently. I don't know about Automobile's methods, but Motor Trend tends to get the best times because they'll abuse the cars a bit if it helps to get more performance. After all, this is the magazine that took a group of torque monsters(ex: a Bentley) and did massive burnouts with them. Wait until MT tests the G35C too, and then you'll have a fairly equal base for comparison.

Dont expect any of these cars 350,02/03 MAx and G35 to be much quicker than each other. If you base it on C/D Mag for "instance" what 5.4 to 60 for Z, 6.0 for Manual Max, dont expect wonders from the G35 manual. It will be in the 5.5-5.9 range it will not be faster than the Z and maybe a tad quicker than the Max. So driver dependent it will be hard to say who will win in street drag.

Hey, let's re-hash the debate about comparing magazine times. Except this time we can argue about comparing times from different magazines for different cars...

G35 Coupe 0-60 in 5.8 sec
Author: Z350 (---.proxy.aol.com)
Date: Oct 1, 6:22pm
The November Motor Trend reviews the G35 Coupe. A few tenths off the 350Z, the 6MT 0 to 60 time is 5.8 sec. Braking 60 mph to stop is 112 feet and quarter mile is 14.23 sec at 99.40 mph. Skidpad = 0.92 which is better lateral acceleration than the 350Z.
All in all - excellent performance for a 4 seater with luxury features, sunroof, 18 inch wheels and tires, more room, almost identical price, and better service at most Infiniti dealers. Some may not like the styling, but with a few mods on the G35 Coupe, a stock 350Z could get it's *** blown off the road :-D
