You should have your plate number changed to: "TL > G35" LOL! btw, nice kill you did there... How fast did you get upto when you beat him?
Oh btw, according to Dave_B the Auto tranny G35 cars do just as good as their MT version. So even if it was the 6MT you could still beat it.

My head hurts.
1) Racing with "family" in the car
2) Racing at 110mph on a public road and 430pm in the heart of Chicago
3) A 43 y/o pulling such a stunt
4) Certain people high fiving the racer for the stunt, but then saying they shouldn't race with passengers because it slows the car down

Just for the record. The stretch of road he is talking about is in a northern suburb of Chicago, and is RARELY packed. He's at least 20 minutes from Downtown, with no traffic, traveling at 85 mph and actually being on the highway.

Let me review your list....
- I kinda agree with the #1.
- 110 mph on a public road is nothing special. Some people go higher. Of course, do it at your own risk and when there's minimal number of cars. Bascially use your own judgement/common sense.
- As for the #3, that is completely fine. I want to encourage older people to do so. I want to see an 80 year old Grandpa doing it. I think it's great.
- As for the #4, LOL! You made my day ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh I love it...... The weight is critical!!!! More weight = Bad I would not race if I have more than one person, the driver, me. Not only will it hurt the acceleration but the cornering will be affected severely!! More weight = More momentum. This will also put more strain on my tires and my engine! I actually don't have to say this because you already know.

Yeah.... nowhere near the heart of Chicago. Its also a pretty empty and wide road.
If he won with family in his car= more weight= even better accomplishment that he beat a G35.
And I wonder why you're giving him shit.... you have a G35 and can't stand it being beat by TL. And then you go on to pick on the the rest of the TL drivers? I've read your other posts, all you're doing is promoting the G35 or bashing/diminishing the TL and its accomplishments. Look at your first post....
No offense to you TL guys at all, but it sure sounds like you guys are racing some slow G35s. I'm surprised to hear of so many auto TLs walking G35s because from what I gather on this site, most 3g TL auto are lucky to break into the 14s.
And before anyone else says it, I did just tell someone who is almost twice my age to grow up.
I don't mean to be rude but you're telling people like him to grow up while you aren't acting mature at the same time. People don't buy cars like these to win on the track, they do it to win on the street. If you want to win at a track, get a race car. And the TL-S did beat the G35 by 2 seconds on a track....
A-TLvic882, nice kill against the G35, hopefully I'll see you around sometime.
P.S. I was on that road at like 9 that night. And so you guys know, he did it far enough south that cops aren't too much of a problem. It's up near Ernie's (Lincolnshire), and Vernon Hills that you have to be really worried.

So, "no offense" but you're the one who needs to grow up.

Sorry to offend you and I'm far from a G35 nutswinger and you can save me the "grow up" speech. I have plenty of respect for the TL. It's not my cup of tea for the price, but it's got great style, inside, and out. If it was RWD, I'd probably be more interested.
The facts are the facts. On a legit 1/4 mile strip, driver to driver, the TL 5AT will get rocked by a G35 5AT. Take a gander through this particular forum and you'll see that 3rd gen TL 5ATs are upper 14 second/low 15 second at 91-93mph rides. A G35 5AT is consistently in the mid 14s. Unlike the 5AT in the TL, G35 5AT has very deep gearing (5th gear at 80mph = 3000rpms), a 3000rpm stall converter, about 20wtq more than the TL, and rwd. All this comes into play in making a quicker car. When it comes to a 5AT G35 vs a 6MT TL, I wouldn't be shaking in my boots in slightest. This isn't trash talk either. I just know that most everyone driving a manual, especially a higher power FWD car, is not going to be very quick. There's lots of room for error and that can be said for G35 drivers and anyone else. I've also seen the 1/4 mile times posted on this site and what TLs do at my track. I'm not worried.
I'm not here to bash the TL in any sort of way, shape, or form. The reason you and so many have problems with it is because I'm an outsider that's not supporting the claims posted on this site. The fact that I have a G35 makes me an easy target. I don't doubt for a second the street kills in this forum, but I do doubt the legitimacy of the claims that the TL is a quicker car than G35, tranny to tranny. The data doesn't support the claims and I've seen the truth on the strip. Drivers and reaction times are what's making the difference. I've beaten plenty of LS1/LT1 F-Bodies, 99+ Mustang GTs, modded SRT4s, modded WRXs, and other quicker cars on the strip only because I was the better driver or put the traction to the pavement. I'll never fool myself into believing my car is quicker than it really is, a relatively unimpressive low 14-second ride.

Ok, thanks for clearing the air. I guess I kind of got the wrong impression of you from your other posts. Sorry if I offended you in any way or came off rude in my post. And I have respect for your explanation. It's nice to have an outsider give his perspective as long as it wasn't intended to "put-down" the TL owners.

I still don't get it, after showing you timeslips and websites and whatsoever, you are still thining that the TL 5AT is slower...It seems like you have ignored (constantly) what others have said before. I don't call that respect man. Again, the 2nd gen TL is the one doing low 15's in the 1/4 mile.
By saying that a high power FWD car is not going to be very quick, it just proves that you are being disrespectful, or ignorant. Just remember, like we've talked about in other threads, the TL-S has beaten teh G35 by whopping 2 seconds on a track. Sure one track is not enough to prove everything, but at least it gives us a general idea of what the TL is capable of. The bottome line is, if you call that "not very quick," then what would you describe the G35 with? And please, no more RWD gives better feel or that kind of comment, we heard enough of that already.
I just don't see why I should trust the times by typical weekend drag racers instead of the times from a professional race car driver (yes, I am talking about Keiichi Tsuchiya).
Let me make this clear again, the G35 is a fast car, and we all know that fact. But we have also proven by showing timeslips, magazine numbers, websites, that the TL is as fast as the G35, tranny vs tranny, on the straight.

Has to be either a 2003-2004 G35 with 260hp because the 2005-2006 G35's had 280hp.
Sorry to tell you, but a 2005-2006 G35 6MT RWD can beat a 2004 TL 6MT FWD. And the new 2007 G35 can cakewalk on a TL and a TL-S.
Btw, 294 sucks because its always traffic there even when there isn't any construction.

Well, like Dave B said, anything can happen on the street right? That's why he has been a big fan of timeslips. But I say I'd rather look at numbers from professional race car drivers. lol!

hey guys, chillax. Yea, 335i, 07 G35, IS350 will beat a TL 6MT in a drag race, and they will most likely beat the TL-S too from a dig. From a roll I would think it's closer. But Meowcat is right for the fact that cornering ability is important too, and the TL-S proves that it can be a great track car. You can't go wrong with any of these 4 cars, really.
335i, benchmark of these cars, but also the most $$
G35, closest to the 335i in terms of....everything except for price and image
IS350, classy and pricey but it has quality and it's damn fast too.
TL-S, FWD and it's still one of the fastest on a track, quality is good too and not too $$.
So yea, all of these cars are good...chillax...chilax guys..
