What would win, '02 Maxima or '02 G35?

Which one would win in a race? Both have automatic transmissions. G35 has a sunroof while the max doesn't. Which do you think?

Sorry, I forgot, yes, both are stock. The g35 is a sedan. How is it a drivers race if both have auto transmissions?

both cars can be lauched differently. One is rwd, the other is fwd. Maybe one brake torques while the other doesn't, maybe one has lsd and the other doesn't. Reaction times are different, one could be manually shifting the auto.

like I said, too many variables. Please don't ask these questions. If you really wanted to know find one and race it

how exactly does a sunroof figure into the race. I'm assuming the driver wont be sticking any object through it. IBTL

I know it adds weight. I don't really know how much or if it in fact makes a difference.

Like everyone said, too many factors to consider. Race one and find out yourself

Stock vs. stock the G35 would beat the Max. I am sure if one driver where to drive both cars on a particular course you would see the G35 pulling better times assuming the driver have equal experience with both vehicles.

Would someone please explain how a FWD Maxima with fewer stock horsepower could out launch a RWD G35? Please dont give me some BLAH BLAH tire BS.

How come every type of forum on the internet has members who have to come up with some dikk head responce that basically says, "I think I know it all, and you don't know shhit so I am going to give an ******* responce"?
