If you had to do that in the 2nd Gen TL/CL the transmission problem wouldn't be nearly as much as an issue as it is today.

The style of the G just really appealed to me. But as far as forums go, A-TL.com is still #1 to me, the "NWS" threads are priceless.
And you run high 14's completely stock? If so that is pretty impressive, I don't want to continue the back and forth flaming but to be honest 1fasttl, I don't think it would even be a drivers race between me and you.

<--- this threadI'm calling
since you are such a fraud. Can't even come up with your 60' times. Leads me to believe you are making up not only your 1/4 mile time (which sucks) but nothing else you've said in this thread is credible. This one went downhill fast.

That track is 2,700 feet above sea level,
Altitude corrected your 14.8 turns into a 14.3 or 14.4. (Multiply your ET by 0.97)
That's not enough to "mop up" a G35C 6speed. You beat the driver not the car so stop boasting about how much you would smoke other people in different parts of the county.

First of all who the hell are you to tell anybody what to do. If i beat him that shows that i am a better driver. Second if i lived in "Maryland" maybe i can run a lot better numbers then what i have the only time i did take me TL to the track. You want to say fraud, please don't be mad cause maybe you can't drive for shit or your car isn't that fast. 14.8 in 95deg weather and about 25% humidty. You keep asking me about my 60' times when i told you it's been over a year and since you make your self sound like a "pro" driver you figure it out. Oh yeah and if you want to get technical about the altitude it's 2,800 ft.

You are correct you beat the better driver. That's what I said. A properly driven G35C 6speed (bone stock) would beat you. PERIOD.
Oh and you are right I can't drive for shit. Ahem 14.1 @ 99.9 MPH 2.1 60', street tires. 81 degrees 45% humidity.
Oh and to get technical, LACR is 2,710 ft above sea level: http://www.lacr.net/week.html

Again, you sound like someone who thinks the G35 has unlimited horsepower or 100+hp over the TL-S stock.
I just don't understand why there's this perception that the G35 is such a fast car like a Ferrari or something. People seem to think the G35s are so much faster than our cars that there's no way to beat one. But in truth, the cars are not that much different in terms of performance.

I crack up everytime I hear some schmuck telling us about one of their [illegal, life threat to others on the road] street racing. It's like protocol already: "I dropped it into SS, turned off Traction and powerbraked" as iff that's going to give them an instant 300 HP boost

Very nice car, personally it is my next pic for a car... but obviously you can't read...... we are talking about a highly modded TL-S beating a STOCK G35, did you catch that STOCK!! From the looks of your car, you are not even close to stock.....
But if you need the assurance, YES a MODDED G35 will beat a MODDED TL-S There how's the ego now.....better?

Personally it will be the third or fourth mod for me when I get my G35 coupe.. after the stereo, suspension, brakes (if it doesn't come with the brembo pkg), CAI, Exhaust.......
The rims are an astetic part of the car, which co-incidently cost a ton of money compared to the rest of the typical mods done to cars. Assumingg most people would rather "be fast" than "look fast" espically in a sports coupe, leading me to rationalize that there is most likely at least a grand spent on that engine.... that rim and tire package has got to be 3 grand easy....

The only mods are high flow cats and nismo exhaust which is more for sound to me than performance. Bolt ons do nothing for the G35 as I've only dyno'd 228 at the wheels so far.

Tonio,
Damn bro! you only put out 228HP with that mod...That number is a stock number for sedans...My cousin 6mtSedan with the Stillen exhaust, Z-tube/K&N, Kinetics hi-flow and some grounding wire.. put out 257hp to the wheels. Thats on a Bosch Dyno though...

Yeah, that day everyone was getting low dyno numbers but what can you do? I have the K&N and ground wires as well but I seriously doubt they make a difference.

This probably means that 2nd Gen TL > CLS > 04 TL > G35 > TLS. As we know, more sales means better car so the 2nd Gen TLP owns joo!!!!

Of the 152,000 G35's, 96,000 are Sedans and 56,000 are Coupes. (see http://www.hondabeat.com/sales_stats.xls and http://www.g-owners.com/article_read.asp?id=8)
I recently moved back to Cali so now I see tons of both G35s and TLs. I just notice the TL more often as it looks better
But inall honesty, I do see a lot more TLs than G35 coupes. Don't see too many coupes

Don't include pic in quote, pls!
Guys/girls:
When you are quoting a post, remove the picture link. We don't need to see the same pic over and over again.
It just uses up bandwidth and makes it very slow for members with dial-up connections- which is most of them.
So, give us a break, pls.
