My CLS vs 05' G35 Coupe

Hey guys, my buddy just got a 05' G35 Coupe 6spd, he's got a short ram injen intake and thats about it. We had three runs, one uphill from 60-120 and i took a beating on that one he beat me by 3 cars. The next one was from a dead stop to 90 he had about 1.5 cars. The last one was downhill from 60-110 he had 2 cars. Now i'm definently looking for nitrous...

damn, i knew a 6spd would be harder to beat, but i didn't think it would be that bad of a result. i had ~2 CLs on an auto G35c from 20-95 and i'm assuming he had an intake cos i could hear his engine roar over mine (windows were open).
those runs of yours must've been exhilirating nonetheless.

My buddy with the g35 beats other g35coupes that have auto transmissions that are modded. I would easily beat a auto but the 6spds are harder...

Yeah I bought the crappy one from ebay but it was underdrive and now my PS pump went out, so hopefully warranty takes care of that. Once they do i'm getting the UR stock diameter pulley and full exhaust... I'll show those g35's some acura lovin' next time...

as a daily driver?
i'd turbo the G and drive the 240 daily! the G has much more pimp factor, you get lux and perf

I have ran him with my 01 CLS. Most every mod minus s/c. His car might be a 04 6spd sedan, just got it used with 20k miles on it.

Dont think you are all that with a G35. Theres not much difference in performance between a G35 and a CL-S.
Oh and btw, G35's are played out and i see at least 10 of them everyday

Lets do it next week for sure. Also, the 6spd's are the ones I said are fast not the auto's because I've raced autos before and I beat them but for some reason the new 6spds have more umph...I believe its the power loss, plus the rev's are higher the limiter kicks in at 7100 now I think on the 05+.

i beg to differ. i love my CL-S too by i know i would be owned both engine performance and handling-wise. take both stock cars and see which one reaches their top speed first. A/t vs A/T and M/T vs. M/T. then i would like to see a CL kick a G35C's ass on the twisties.

I agree with you, the G35 will own a CL in handling. But performance-wise there aint much difference

Actually if you go back and read what I wrote. My friend who I raced said he beat a g35 coupe auto with intake and exhaust by 3 cars. So I just took that race and compared it to my race and came up with my theory that I would keep up. I'm not disrespecting any cars here, i'm saying it'll be more of a even match for a a/t vs a/t compared to a manual. You can take it offensively if you want but I didnt mean it in that way, we are all on the same forum and I was trying to compare cars.

reynaldo will smoke you...people be realistic. A g35 and cl-s aren't that far in performance? Come on...Sure I see g35's about 100x more than CL-S, but they're still nicer.
