Would be neck and neck. Whoever gets the better launch (with 5AT that means going before the other person) or uses tiptronic more efficiently.

Welcome to the cult!
Welcome to the cult!
I raced my friend's G35 AT and he pulled away at first and second gear. I was able to come back on 3-4gear. It was really close but he edge me by around 3feet. I hate to say it but I got beat!!! I raced him 2 other times and with similar results. The closes I came with him was he edge me by 1feet. Trust me they have really good low end power and our TL starts to pick up on 2-3 gear. By then...its too late the G35 is ahead by a bit. With the new 2005 model 277hp will now doubt kick our butts!! Sorry guys but I let all the TL'ers down!!

Why are you guys so obsessed with racing your TL. It's a beautifull sport sedan, but a race car it's not. People get so crazy about racing their car's, they forget the joy of driving the car and enjoying it's fine quiet ride, excellent sound system, and the sheer joy of driving such a nice car. If you want to race, go buy a race car and enjoy the bone jarring ride, noisy drivetrain, wind noise, and then try and listen to the audio system above all the noise. Personally, I'd rather ride in comfort, AC on, and enjoy my car and not worry about racing a G-35. Who cares??

I just sold a G35 I had for a year and a half. The other day I test drove a TL. The G35 does have noticably more low and mid range torque, but the TL really pulls strong as the revs build. I can only go by the road tests and what has been posted above as to how they line up in a race, but I can tell you I think they are very evenly matched.

Now having said that, I want to say that I have lost to some G35s over the last 3 years but I have beaten many many more than I've lost to. Why? It all has to do with driver reaction and knowing your car well. For example, I know that it's best to avoid 4th and 5th gear in our cars during a race, not that you should need them anyway (100 mph can get your liscense revoked and possibly get you jail time in some states). Also, I know that it takes G35s quite a bit of time to downshif from 4th / 5th gear so you can often use that to your advantage.
BTW, before my friend sold his G35, we went to the track and I beat him there in both trap speed and ET. It was my first time at the track. Shortly thereafter, he sold his car.
