Acura Cl-S modded vs g35 coupe question
Okay for performance aspects my 03 cl-s will have toyo t1-s for a good launch, and more importantly aem cold air intake, and alpha werks headers. If I was to race a stock g35 coupe automatic, should I beat it? How about a g35 coupe automatic with z tube and stillen intake?

You'll be better off getting headers and then trying to run a stock G35c Auto with your CL-S Auto.
Even with that setup its still gonna be close.
Adding mods to the G doesn't help your cause at all.

well the reason I am asking this is because my friend has a g35 coupe auto, and it doesnt seem that fast as i raced a g35 sedan modded well who was also my friend, and he said me and the g35 coupe were about the same distances from him. The G coupe ran a 15.0 on the track in like 83 degree weather and high humidity. I think with the alpha werks headers I should be able to beat him.

you'll take easy G coupe (5AT stock) with toyo/i/h (assuming good launch).
you should also edge him out with z-tube/stillen
EDIT:
Wait you're 5AT not 6MT. Hmm then you should be neck to neck.

go to a track and see their times and compare them to yourselves. imo, you need i/h/p to beat an auto everytime, otherwise, you will lose 90% of the time.

I disagree my friend who had a 2.3 60 in his G ran a 15.0 at the track and he ran his CL as well (same driver) with a 2.4 60' in a 15.2 in the same track and weather.

Did your friend brake torque or just mash the throttle. Manumatic or just leave in auto? Most G coupe owners do between 14.8 and 14.5 (personal bests). A few have gone 14.2-14.5 stock but could be factory freaks (with really good weather conditions). The best way to launch a G-auto is to brake torque to about 1700 rpm and shift using the manumatic. Leaving it in D will shift too early and be off about 0.2 seconds. On average, the G auto is faster than a CLS auto but close enough where shifting actually matters (yes, even in auto form)

ur auto 03 CLS with header and intake and toyo t1s vs ur freind g35c auto michelin pilot sport (assuming he has the wheelpackage)
it should be a driver race.
and btw: ur friend cant drive ..... 2.3 60' on a RWD AUTO car is kinda ridiculous. 15.0 1/4 is even worse for g35c auto or not.

G35
Well since i used to own a CL, and now i have a G35auto, i can tell you this... first off, coupe is not just like a 4door, 2door is much more responsive, and i cant say much more faster, but it feel more quicker in respone and stuff... now this is wat i think, yes, CLS auto with full mods (my friend's CLS have Intake, header, exhaust, pullies, and VAFC).. well, we ran several times.. we are pretty much side by side, and mine is completely stock.. and he has some heavy 18s.. so maybe that slow him down a bit... Well, i think the race is not much far apart, THATS IF YOU RACE FROM 0-60! we ran on the freeway, the CLS 3rd gear is pretty quick... but the main puller from G35 is on the freeway, once a CL hit 3rd end, about 105-110mph, thats the end of the race.. CLS auto 4th and 5th just suck, we all know that, so my best advise is, get the G down slow, and prepare them to pull from behind at higher speed.... ^ ^

how about 0-60 or 110 - 155

U sure?? 145 and ur still pulling??? and fyi exhaust doesnt do shit for CLS and if u dont do it right u might lose some HP...
If u have an auto CLS.... u cant PULL NOBODY with ur 4th ....

Don't make such a blanket statement, I use 4th gear to pass on the highway daily.

ok so you have a 6speed CLS... not auto/SS
but still CLS is limited at 147 MPH and u will need some crazy mods with govern limiter removed to go anything beyond that.
so when you are going 145MPH.. ur not pulling.. you are just struggling to reach 147mph
Also G35c is limited at 155MPH... so basically you guys are just all struggling at those speed but eventually the g35 should win...
and btw: how dumb are you racing at 140+MPH on a public freeway?????
