There is no way a G35 sedan with just exhaust can run 13.65 @102.15...

Nothing is wrong with your mods, but you should check what you told us in the first post


here is what you've posted:

I have a 2003 g35sedan with an exhaust/auto.I just want to have a friendly race with anyone who has 3rd gen. acura tl.Just for fun.if ur game pm me.Im in los angeles BTW.

Maybe it would be better if you said that you had a few mods instead of just an exhaust

or any kind of forced induction. You have 0.3 more liters of displacement. Should that be considered as cheating too?? A motor is a motor no matter how big or whats whats bolted to it.

reynaldo how old are you? you sound like a teenage kid playing games on your computer. why the hell even start a thread asking for a friendly race and state you have only an exhaust when you really have a lot of mods. did you think you could only beat a TL with all those mods so you are trying to dupe someone into racing you in a stock or near stock TL? Are you scared of a CT SC TL-S? I would be!

Well,i already raced someone who has a sc'dTL-s and i already admitted that i was beaten.Afraid?its not in my vocabulary.I never refuse any invitation for a race.
BTW,my mods are not so much.No one in the VQ forum that says that my mods in my car are too much/i think mine is just a few.(it just added a few ponies).
