Is the 09 g37s sedan faster than an 08 TLS
#41
Don't let that TYPE S badge give you a false sense of confidence. If you get a chance race one and get back to us that will make you change your position and I guarantee it. I speak from running it. Driver or no Driver.. the race is simple. G will win.. base or TLS .. dont matter.
HP's aren't the only numbers to consider in this game.. a RWD will shit on a TL. 0-60mph times are retarded, because I already stated in my post.. you'll hang with the G till about 75 and then you will be embarassed and feel like a 5 year old. If you don't believe me try it. I will even bet that a AT G35 will beat a 6MT Type S.
I've done many races to 100mph with my friends so I can speak from experience.
1. 350Z
2. G35
3. G37
4. Maxima
5. IS350, IS250
I can keep going... so I know where we stand and who and who not to pick races with.

I never said the G was slow nor was the TLS is faster. Yes we all know RWD>FWD and 300hp vs 286...And Im sure a G can shit on any TL
Yea a 2G G35 can take any TL for sure...But I bet I stand a chance against a 1g 5at G..
I got money itttttttttttttttttt

^^ ya you beat them modded...
I have an 08 g35x, and it is faster than my 6spd base TL. I have raced my own car with my cuz driving. The type-s isnt much faster than the base iirc.
From a launch and from a roll the g35 is faster. I drove the 09 coupe with I-awd and it felt good, but I'm guessing it'll rape the TL

2004 results according to MT
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...test_data.html
G35 sedan and TL are pretty much neck and neck
TL had 10 more HP but the G35 was a tad quicker. Except in the 0-100mph run where the TL edged it out 17.3 versus 17.9

Racer
RWD, bigger motor with more torque, close ration transmission. The G will win that race anytime, unless an idiot is driving it. I use to b*itch and moan at the Acura rep all the time about this when he would come to the shop. I'd tell him to suggest different things. Acura needs more horsepower if they are going to compete with infiniti. Though just once, I'd like to see that supercharged TL-s on here race and stomp all over a G : )

I beat many G35's, 06-07 (i ran with 09 coupe), i was surprised and i was stock at the time. ( LOOK AT MY SIGNARTUE FOR PARTS I HAVE NOW) 6MT all day. I raped a 08 Maxima, (still waiting for an 09 maxima) G35 Sedan for a rematch from a tie

People who say they beat G35's... I'll continue to say this...
1. You had a lucky day
2. The other driver was an ideot
3. I will only change my tune if I'm shown proof of a video (stock vs. stock)
And obviously I'm talking stock to stock, none of this modded shit, because then the scales tips obviously, because if we take a modded G35, once again, it will shit on us.
I would love to borrow my friends G35 put this shit to rest once and for all. I urge you guys from a stand still, to race one from 0-110. And no you won't loose by a bumper, I'm not gonna even say how embarassing the loss will be...
4th gear on our cars has way less torque compared to Nissan. Run the race you'll see.

Not this again...
I've beaten a bone stock G35 Sedan against my bone stock TL, beat him by 1 car length.
Secondly, whats the point in arguing the sake of who wins or not. If a turbo comes out on our cars and achieves 325+ WHP than we will have a argument!
Anyways, why do people care about there 1/4 mile or 0-60 times or how many horses or torque a car has when 99% of the time, the person behind the wheel doesn't know how to drive. Know I'm not talking about how to drive stick and gear perfectly or just to press on the gas to beat the other person. I'm talking about learning actually how to drive in everyday lives. Learn how to avoid accidents, learn how to understand traffic (instead of just cutting lanes so you "think" you're going to be in front), and other things. I swear more people are getting ignorant in driving. Learn how to drive perfectly, than talk about racing. They're probably few of you on these forums that actually know how to take of your cars, by driving, and by hand. Defensive Driving is essential. Racing is only for track unless we're talking about real racing where they're making in Texas soon. Just like in fast and furious. There will be real stop signs, real stop lights, real "traffic". Point A to B who wins with traffic and understanding of traffic. Any accidents or illegal turns/passing red lights will deduct points. You don't need a 10 second car for this just a knowledged driver. Just like people say, guns don't kill people, dumbass people kill people. That goes for this.

Now if you find a G35 hooked up with 20's and you only have 17's.. I can almost guarantee you'll keep up or maybe even win. Or racing in traffic.. well.. that retarded and don't condone AND not anything I go by to give merit to any car.

I dont know if it would dust the TL ... the ES350 is neck and neck with, the base TL being slightly faster, and I would suspect the Type S to easily edge out in a victory on this race. I'm willing to bet money on these results.

Actually i raced my freinds lexus ES350, and it sounds like a camry, with a electric sound motor, and i beat him by 1 car length. But i love the leather, and the ride is so soft, compared to the TL. But other then that my TL also out handled it too. And the speakers in the lexus suck.

OK I dont know why people think a TL is faster than a G. Sure you may have some luck on the streets against one. If your a 6mt, you could be racing against an auto. If your a 6mt and racing a 6mt, the other guy may not be a good driver - wrong gear, bad shifting, etc. a 2003 6mt G sedan runs a 14.30ish 1/4mile. A 6MT base tl runs about a 14.4-14.5, so its slower. A 6mt tl-s will run a 14.1-14.3, so its SLIGHTLY faster. A 2007 G with the updated 298 hp motor runs a high 13, something that I have not seen from any stock 6mt TL. The next model G only gets faster.
Yes the TL is sexier, Yes the TL has a better interior, Yes the TL is more fuel efficient and Yes the TL is more reliable. IMO they are two different cars with different purposes, the G being more sports luxury than the TL sadly.
Bottom line, anyone who says their TL is faster than a G's doesnt know what they're talking about and thinks that one isolated incident speaks for the entire model line.

Honestly, and no offense, but it was a useless thread to begin with. All you had to do was google acceleration times for the g37 and would see that those times are standard for that car. Did you expect anything else from a car that has over 30 hp more, shorter gear ratios and rwd over the tl-s?
agreed, close this thread or let it die off....

having both cars in the household I'll let you know that our cars don't stand a change to the G37's. Maybe a heavily modded TL-S or a supercharged base yes. Stock type-s will get burned with ease.

Guys Please stop!!! Half the people here dont know what theyre talking about. Stock for stock ATvsAT or MTvsMT POUND FOR POUND. Any G35 or g37 will wipe the floor with any TL-S. Look at my mods! I taken em on the streets but BARELY. The TL was not designed for speed. I had to say it but when it comes to speed INFINITI>ACURA

Here is my honest opinion... my TL-S is fast.. but not THAT fast
Races I have encountered
vs 350z 6MT (buddies) with exhaust & intake..... i barely beat him.... we both had heavy ass 20" wheels on ....
vs g35 5AT Sedan, exhaust (earlier 03-05ish).... dogged him
vs g35 5AT Coupe, exhaust (all i heard) ... i barely beat him
vs g35 5AT Coupe Stock, i beat him good.. we even chatted at the next light
vs g35 6MT Coupe, exhaust + maybe more.... got me
vs g37s 5AT coupe... close... very close... but got me once i entered 3rd
vs g37s 6MT coupe.... Raped me like Kobe
vs 06+ Maxima 6MT Exhaust, intake... dogged him
vs 06+ Stock IS350... I WON I WON I WON !!! I was sooo proud of my UA7 !!!!! (i know its not a VQ engine, but its a fast car)
and yes, i race alot... i know its stupid, but i love short lived little 1/4 races on the street.. i never do anything dangerous
i keep saying im gonna go to the track.. but im sooo damn lazy... i've been practicing my brake torqueing... getting good at it, but my front brembos keep slipping a little over 2k rpm
i know my car is running high 13's

You bought a TL cus you like the way it looks and drives and how reliable it is...now if u wantd speed you woulda went with a audi or bmw (which makes nissan/inf look like childrens toys)...idc if they can beat a tl the 04-08 tl's look 10000 times better than the g's...
this needs to question needs to stop coming up its sooooo annoying....grow up
