Should I be able to beat an I35?
My friend just got an Infiniti I35, I wanted to race him with my regular TL.
My pros and cons are:
His advantage:
1. His car has 30 more hp and alot more toque.
2. Slightly lighter weight.
3. Larger rims/wider tires.
My Advantage:
1. 5-speed SS tranny vs. his 4-speed auto.
2. No torque steer, which he has.
3. Bettern handling on bumpy or curvy roads.
Whad you guys think?

TL cannot beat an I35, that car is slightly heavier than 02/03 Maxima's which can run quite even with TLS's. Their torque makes up for the 4spd auto, the I35 is quicker than the TL.

Actually, its not a match for a TLS. The ponies on the Maxima seem much much healthier than the I35.

Yeah like others have said, you'd need the TL Type S to keep up with an I35.
The 255hp Maximas / I35s should be able to walk a TL-P with no problem. Torque steer isn't as big of a problem as long as he knows how to launch well.

Hey I raced a 99 maxima today and i smoked him for the most part on the highway we ended up arriving at the Mall at the same time and he asked me if I had any work on my TL..i told him no and he was surprised. he had headers and exhaust and my baby is bone stock. I guess it depends on the driver..i got it up to 120 mph dam that felt good!

Even with the Comptech I/H on your TLS, your stock 2k3 Max can run pretty even with it?? :wow:

I haven't run them side by side to over 70mph .. but i'd imagine the TL-S w/ the mods would edge out the max .. The max's auto gearing SUX@@$%@#$

O.G.
The I35 will edge out a regular TL (it better with 30 more hp) but is no match for a TL-S. I remember reading somewhere it does 0-60 in 7 secs. That's pretty slow for a 255 hp car.
