A more relevant video would be an '04 TL (or TL-S) vs. a G35 sedan. We all know the G35 coupe is a completely different animal than the sedan.

Perhaps that explains a little of the discrepancy. In any event, they're both great cars.

EZZ, I didn't get to drive the coupe nearly as much as the sedan, but I did notice that the rear end seemed to stay in place much better and didn't trip the VSA. It was still cramped, noisy and rough but its handling was a lot better. I drive a buddy's (who drinks to much) sedan often but I only got a test drive in the coupe, ran into the hills, about 30mi.

Honestly speaking, that video reminds me of how I beat the G35 sedan that time with my '04 TL.
Except I pulled on the G35 even faster than the G35 pulling on the CL-S.

The TL dynos more hp in 6spd than the G35 it seems per that graph.

Based on your theory, G35 should have better numbers if driving well by right guys. Will you be the rigth guy driving those number? The regular guys like us may never have those 14.xx numbers whatever G35 or 04TL we drive.
I saw that video, too. Very impressive. We really don't need to emphasize this individual result too much. Someday you may see your G35 website having a movie chip featuring how TL beats G35 like this. Besides the arguement, what can you do to that video?
In the past two weeks, if I see G35 next to me in the stop/traffic light, both of driviers on each car seem to intend racing right away. Perhaps, I read too much stuff out of this thread, have too much confidence about racing, have known my families would take care of themselves, and have money/attorney to pay my tickets, I always win. I strongly believe those losing drivers are unexperienced racers, and I don't need to emphasize this, either. I do have lots of respects to G35. Both of cars are good and trying to move up to next level in order to compete with other high-end vehicles. Beating another vehicle in the same level doesn't mean you're better than others.
Maybe I will lose to another G35 driver tomorrow. Who knows? It means nothing. Who cares?
If 15 yrs younger and still live in LA, I'll spend all my time to debate with you.

well those numbers for the g35 that are 14.0 -14.2 are driven by expert drivers too.(LOL) they push it time and time again to get the best numbers that they can....so i too doubt the g35 can run 14.0-14.2 stock....so its basically a driver's race..in that case since ur in tx, u wanna come down to htown and run this " i doubt any tl can run low 14s stock" TL and any stock cars in my crew?

The G35 trips its VSA early or the rear end slips out, dangerously, not like the fun drifts of a 330i, Whereas, the TL just plowa merrily along with very high limits. Tinally, the G35s are just plain noisyand hard riding, whereas the TL is smooth and quiet. Admittedly, I speak from an enthusiasts viewpoint. I keep a 330i for real romping.

GENTLEMEN,
in regards to the VIDEO with the G35.
1) The G35 is AUTOMATIC COUPLE 280 HP/270 LB-T, which weighs as musch as the CL automatic.
2)This is a 2002 CL (revised version) with NO foglamps, and new clear lens markers on the rear lights, and revised wheels and revised headlamps. I repeat this is not a 2001. If they roll from 1st gear, like the video says, then its a 6sp CL.
As you all know, 2002 is the year that the 6sp was introduced, and from listening the engine this is 6sp tranny. You can hear the shifts.
I have a 2001 CL and a g35 sedan. therefore I have plenty of experience racing against my car. Trust me, after 3rd in my CL-S, might as well shut down cuz it won't be able to keep up.
Sorry guys, but the video was auto G35 coupe against a 6sp CL-S, based on the model year of the CL-s and rolling start from 1st gear.
Having said that, WHO CARES!!!
i love the 04 TL interior.......I wish my G35 had such interior and innovative technology. But it does not and it won't. I wish my CL-S was RWD and more torque, but it doesn't and it won't.
just enjoy your cars and take care of them.

Wow, I guess I am considered an 'expert' driver according to the statements above. Just so you know, my time in my sig isn't anything crazy or abnormal. There are auto SEDANS pulling 14.2's and a few other manual coupes getting times like mine. I have seen two timeslips of a stock coupe with Drag Radials get 13.7 and 13.8.
BTW, I am by no means an 'expert' driver. I have had some experience at the dragstrip, but not as much as the magazine guys do.

Sorry but that is no 6SPD CL-S. Dream on. I just watch the video 5 times in a row. The G35 definitely is a auto though, but the CL-S is as well. You can tell by the nose of the CL, it doesn't dive like it would on a standard car.

Just to look at another angle on these cars and its only my opinion, but i feel that TL will be better aftermarket car, for bolt-ons anyway. When you look at the original redesign of acura j32, made 300+ hp we also see proof of this in a-spec concept. The production engine is the same just restricted slightly on the intake and much more on the exhaust, with 3 cats. Yes what i am saying is that with only intake and exhaust the TL will make 300 - 310hp. Didnt go into production this way because 300+ hp on fwd family sedan is just not appropriate. So far we have seen injen cold air intake to put down 11 whp when compared to g35 engine only 5-7 with its injen intake. When you compare drivetrain losses its 14% acura to g35's (depending on models) 20% to 30%. Although both cars are restricted heavily on exhaust, the TL with its ULEVII is more so. And yes TL has poor tires, with HPT upgrade TL is more or less as fast as g35 sedan and coupe.

Hey, can one of you G35 guys post the link of a 2003 G35 auto sedan and a 2002 TLS running at the track on the same day? The TLS is mine and the black G35 is my friend's. We were both stock then and I ran 14.71@96.3 MPH and he ran a 14.9@94.9 MPH. He never sent me the video but he did send me a link to one of the Infiniti forums, which I lost. Any of you guys have it saved or know what I'm talking about?

Well they improved that number in 2003 even though the car was basically unchanged. Give the TL time and I say it can do 13s.

I was, however, able to resist the temptation to put my coupe into the fray, even though it is more than a match for every stock G35 on the planet.
Why? Because I don't really care.

In regards to the gate shifting comment.
I'm not sure if have a different version of an Acura Cl-S but mine will the tranny will NOT hold 1st.......it would automatically change to 2nd. Nobody that I know has the ability to Hold 1st as long as we would like...the system does automatically for you. After 2nd, its all driver input.
However, there is time when you play around with the gas pedal and try to trick the system. But it does not work most of the time.
if you have a different mod to hold 1st down all the way to redline...please let me know

The G35 vs CL-S video posted on thread page 12? maybe 13? was probably the most immature piece of crap I've ever seen. And it's pretty weak that a G35 coupe with equal weight, +20hp, +40tq took that long to pull away from a CL-S
I'm surprised people old enough to make the money to afford nice cars are still chatting with each other on the internet in ways that would make my 17 year old brother frown.

What's wrong with this? I wouldn't agree this by two ways.
First, in this forum, ppl from 16-61 buy 04TL. Younger guys can race with whoever they want. 30' do go dragstrip. 40' enjoy music with fancy ride. If you like streetracing at 50', no one can say NO to you. Vice versa, 17 yr old guy can drive this nice car between home and schools only. Should I say what's wrong with him? Ppl do whatever they want in this free country.
Second, tons of ppl are racing their 40k BMW on streets. Why can't ppl use 04TL to chase to each other?

Those seem like very low trap speeds for a G35 auto. Did he forget to turn off the VDC??

People should not be surprised by slow times at the drag strip.
It is not easy to run a quarter mile at the car's potential. If you haven't been to the drag strip, don't assume you can do it.
I am not a drag strip professional by any means. In my one and only drag strip experience, after 9 runs I saw my time drop .5 seconds and my 60' went from a 2.3 to a 2.015, which is spot on for that particular car. (Not my TL).
