ok...i kinda raced a G35 sedan today...it didn't really impress me that much...here is story...the driver was driving like a bitch...so i got in front of him...n try to keep even with the car in front of him so he couldn't pass me, at that time we were goin about 35-40 mph...then the car in front of him had to turn left...so its time to see how fast our cars are...i used sports shift n redline on 2nd n 3rd gear....so i went from 40 to about 90-100 mph....i got a lil head start since he had to wait for the other car to go to the left turn lane...but after we got to about 100mph...he was still about 3 cars behind me...and i jus slowed down at the light next to a porsche carrera. and after that i had to turn right and go home so it ended there...even thou the whole thing was short...but i realized that g35 sedan is not as fast as i thought...hopefully, the coupe is faster which is something i plan to get...

 

I doubt he was trying.

 

Normally I stick up for my CL brothers, but I'm gonna call BS on this one. I could see it happen in a CLS, but not a CLP.

 

The CL-P isn't as slow as people think. They can hang with a CL-S to about 70 then they fall back.

 

And he said he got up to 90-100mph and held off the G. That's well past the 70mph you mentioned.

The G sedan is no slouch... I just don't see a CLP doing what he claimed.

Just my $0.02...

 

Still not impress with the G35? wanna pm me for a friendly race?

 

I'm sure the guy was trying if he really got up to 90-100mph.. but I just don't see a CLP keeping up with a 260HP rwd G35. Unless you have some mods you didn't list in your sig..

 

I'll race ya!11:P Have you taken it to the track? I run up at LACR and love to race different cars, I haven't raced a G35 yet though. I think it would be a good race.

Uh, and I think the CLP probably had more of a head start . Head starts make a lot of difference. You should have missed your turn off and run him again, I think the result would be different.

 

ok...as u can see, i never post any racing stories because i rarely race with my CL, i usually just go on this forum for a/v, but the story is true and i dont have any mods on my car beside the k&n filter, and i didn't say my car is faster than the G cause there is no way....but the thing is i did get a head start since he had to wait for the car to get out of his lane and i guess that was the reason...and it was down the hill...but i seriously thought the g35 sedan would have smoked meeh after about 70mph...but he didn't and i know he tried because he was tryin to pass me the whole time and was going super faster right before i made the right turn to my house...o wells...the whole point of the story is that i just thought g35 sedan would be a lot faster than my car since it has 35 more hp and 44 more torque and plus its RWD...o wells...back to wc3 tft...

 

Yep, you got that right, CLP aint that slow... especially those gifted CLP, they could lead CLS 3-4cars before a CLS can catch back at high-end... That happened to me Vs. 3 other TypeS with headers, while back then, i havent had my headers yet... now its headers equiped.

 

BTW, just to let yall know, CLP do have a lowend advantage... BUT, once the TypeS got on the freeway, the 2nd gear and 3rd gear pull, typeS "REALLY!!!" shines!

 

I don't know man... but I HIGHLY doubt in a CLP you would be pulling 3-4 cars on a CLS with headers

 

RWD is meaningless in a straightline when the cars are already rolling.. i love it how people throw that in there all the time when comparing the CL's to the G's ..

I understand the dynamics of RWD in a launch .. so pls. don't lecture me about that .. <sigh>

 

When two cars are RELATIVELY similarly powered .. 225hp in the CLP, 260 in the G, and since the CL driver mentioned he jumped on the gas FIRST... I can totally see the CLP getting ahead by 3 car lengths and then the G flooring it and just being unable to close the margin enough to overtake the CLP ..

Guys.. it takes A GREAT HP DIFFERENCE to overtake a car when rolling on the highway past 40mph .. the launch is key to winning many races.. it just take more of a whp differene than people appreciate to actually catch up to a car that's already jumped on the gas .. AND THEN TO OVERTAKE THAT CAR.. even more power required..

 

btw.. I have a TL-P loaner for a while while my TypeS is at the dealership getting new rotors and brakes ...

THe TL-P is a DOG off the line .. don't know what you CL-P homies are smoking .. I've had this car for 300 miles now .. it's a dizzog out of the hole compared to my typeS w/ Headers and icebox..

Time to pass the weed over this way, you've had enough...

 

hahahaha tl type s you're hilarious...and yeah i don't see how cl-p would have a low end advantage...i dont see how it would have any advantage at all whatsoever

 

i think a type s would win from start to finish.

 

You guys are so off it is pathetic, a stock CL-S vs a stock G35 Sedan is about even with a little edge to the G. I raced my friends G35 up to 70 and we were dead even, I had the lead up to 70 and he caught back up leading me to think he would be tied or start pulling. When I go back down to boca, and I can find a safe road we will prob go to around 100 from a stop, and do some rolls, we will have this on tape, and you will see that the G35 sedan is no joke.

 

Actually as a few rational people have said its tough catching up to a car that had a jump from a roll. I've had my fiancee pass me on the highway in her v6 accord and when I jump on it she is still pulling on me. Only thing going on at this point is I am lessening the difference in acceleration as time passes.

For example, when car A hits it as car B passes lets assume B is already going 60mph to A's 50...2 seconds later B is going 68 to A's 59...then 75 to A's 68...then 80 to A's 75 and so forth! Car B is still pulling on A but by less and less each second until at some point A starts reeling B in. At the point where A starts reeling B in I'm sure B has a sizeable lead. This is assuming B is the CL and A is the G.

 

Im not talking about a jump, i know how hard it is to catch up when someone has a jump. I raced a focus who passed at 15-20 when I was like at 4, and it took me to 88 to be right next to it. Im talking about from a stop, the Cl-P has no chance, and the Cl-S will either tie or lose by a car. That is the fact.

 

No shit renegade but the story said nothing about a race from a stop! (not mad so don't take it personally)

What you said is also not a fact (about the CLS) because a stock CLS/TLS can beat a Stock G35S auto. The cars are so close in performance that it can go either way. I do agree that a CL-P will lose to both, although it will be close in the beginning.

 

i was talking cl-p vs. cl-s btw.

 

Not having been a witness to meeh's runin with the G35, I really cant call his story B.S. (I can only draw on my experiences)

Having driven a TL-P on many occassions, I can only presume that the CL-P is (at worst) equal in performance to the TL-P.
That said, I think its reasonable for a CL-P to take a G35, provided the G35 driver is not as sharp as the CL-P driver. Like most races, it's mainly down to driver skill.

Meeh, just be informed that in an acceleration contest between a G35 and CL-P with equally skilled drivers, the CL-P will lose every time. The CL-S is a different story.

Peace.

 

I agree

 

Ok yes this post is about a CL-P who had a little jump from a roll. But the title of the post is the "G35 Sedan not that fast", meaning this guy thinks the G35 isnt too fast. I also never said that a cl-s can not beat a G stock to stock, but you have to admit the G has a little advantage. Off the line our cars are faster, but the G picks up speed quickly and at the end of the 1/4 mile I think the Cl would be ahead 1 car, it tied, or the G ahead 1 car. All Im saying is performance wise in a straight line the G and Cl-S are pretty close. And for that person that said a Cl-P can hang with a CL-S until higher speeds is full of shit!

 

I have raced both cars and the G35 and CL-S/TL-S is are pretty dang even acceleration wise but forget anything involving a turn. I raced a G35 sedan the other night, we were going 70 in a empty 35 zone and he stuck with me like flies on sh!t. That car is a great driver stock. We did it for about 3 miles until we stopped at a light and he looked at me amazed. He said he thought he was gonna whoop me. That car has hella potential.

I can't see any TL/CL-P coming close.

 

Oh yea??? REALLY?? ask BlackCLS4Life, and Silverknight, and see wat they say...

 

whats up with all these big headed TypeS guys?

 

Cool...I agree then. I think meeh, was just a little disappointed with the G.

1sicklex, does a GS4 really handle that much better than a TLS/CLS? No offense but the GS is quite the pig...more so than my boat. might have better weight distribution and RWD but 3800 lbs is not light. Nothing suspension mods can't help...for either car.

The G at least is much lighter than both cars so I know it can outhandle both...hands down.
