On the street it's a crap shoot. The tires might spin 5' or they might spin through most of 1st gear. At least with RWD, even when the tires are spinning, you're stilling going forward at a very decent pace. Launching my 5MT modded Maxima was always a bear at the track, but I still was able to get lower 2.1 60 foots launching at 4500rpms with a little clutch slip. I quickly learned that launching a high powered/high torque FWD car is a royal pain. Those days are over for me.

what mods do you have? maybe ur car is a lil factory freak to be number 7 with the least amount of mods.

My car currently only had one power mod and that's the spacer. I have added the 25lb lighter midpipe from the 05/06 sedan, but all it adds is noise, not power. I'd imagine in sea level conditions, my G is capable of some 14.1s@100mph, maybe a high 14.0 if I can land a lower 2.0 60'.

Most G's on the NA modified list are running intake spacers, headers, high flow cats, ECU flashes, true dual exhausts, and drag radials. Their times range from 13.2s@104mph to high 13s@101mph. It's all dependant on the amount of mods and tires.

Just a little history...the G35 auto and 02 TL-S were identical in quarter mile and 0-60 in several comparos they were in TOGETHER back in 2002-03. You probably run at a good track with weight savings and good driving. Congrats.
I say race the altima....from your kill stories im sure you could take him, or at least give him a race. If he was auto, you would definitely take him (esp. the 4 speed autos)

Getting the most out of G35 5AT doesn't require a whole lot of skill, but you do need to know what you're doing or else the car will be about .2 to .4 seconds slower. With that said, my 14.3s aren't anything terribly impressive. There are two other 03 5AT sedans I know that have run 14.2s bonestock. What's the fastest recorded stock or lightly modded 5AT TL/TLS? 14.6s?

Yes, the comparisions between the 03-04 G35 sedan auto and TL auto had very close, if not identical 1/4 mile times (14.8s I believe). The thing is the mags have stated on more than one occasion that they let the G35 auto shift itself the entire run. If you let the auto shift itself the entire run, you not be extracting the most performance. If left in automatic mode, the car shifts the 2-3 at 6200rpms and the 3-4 at 6000rpms. That's 400 and 600 rpms short of redline and not ideal. By letting my G shift itself it runs 14.6s.

If you are number 7 in the modified list then that means that heavily modded G35's cant break into the 13's?

If you could get a good launch out the gate, you may be able to hold him. Right now with the cold weather VQ's arent going to good off the light. Just for the record, The G's are alittle slower than the alt/max when modded due to the g being heavier with less torque. Oh just for the record, i've been 13.2 @106mph on street tire!
