Hey guys check this out I think this car is stock. it sounds GREAT!!

:wackit:

 

Sounds nice, but that video sucks. A chick driving a auto G35 and a navigation system.

 

ghey that is an auto though!!

 

The speedometer was increasing so slow even though the rpms were redlining and that car is suppose to be faster than the CL-S I think not

 

I seen the latest times on that car. 1/4 mile was in 14.2 seconds. A friend of mine in the G35Driver website has installed a cat back ehaust system with a CAI he is running 13.7 so I think the car is faster than our CL-S 6Speed.

 

same, here maaaaaaaaaaaaad slow son.

 

Hmmm DTMPower and navi footage of DC. I wonder if I know them. I stopped hanging out with them last year though and then the website went pay-only. Bleh.
Oh well.

Kinda silly Jap car at DTMPower. lol

 

I know I was thinking the same thing!

is your VQ engine kindda....... *ahem*....."winded" at those "lofty" heights?

I'm sorry but that orange light display has to appeal to the :ghey: crowd! :P

 

i'll smoke that, did u c how 2nd gear ends before 60 mph??

 

I like the looks of that car...but that video....make me love being sucked back in the best seats in the industry and showing my tailights to anyone who tries....

 

ITs actually a guy!

 

Guys is it just be or was he-she "gunning" it?

 

Have any of you guys actually raced a G35 Coupe M6?

 

I think the G35c Auto would be a good match for a stock CLS Auto, same with the 6-speeds, although it looked slow in this video.

From my experience, the VQ engine does not have problems getting "winded", at least in my car (350z). Pulls strongly at any RPM.

It feels quite a bit stronger than my CLS with Headers/Intake, and I was able to run a 9.3 in the 1/8th with my CL (approx. 14.4 1/4 time).

The VQ does sounds sweet in both the Z and G35c though

 

guys the g35 is quick. my cousin has one, im getting my cls in 2 1/2 weeks after it breaks in we will race and i will let u all know what happens. where both autos so its fair but the g35 hooks right away and pulls hard and the cls has mad tire spin so i dont know but we will see

 

Ugly interior or not. They are RWD and alot funner to push through the turns than a CLS. The 6 speed is a ton of fun and would mos def give a cls a go.

 

did u get the 14.4 stock and u said the g35 cpe still felt quicker even with your headers and intake and if the time wasnt stock what did u hit stock 1/4

 

I got the 9.31 in the 1/8th which *should* equate ~14.4 in the 1/4 in my CLS with OBX Headers and Intake. Never ran the car stock.

I currently own a 350Z which feels quicker than my CLS.

The G35c should be about a little slower than the Z, that's why I think it would be a close race with a CLS.

 

thanks bro for the reply i almost leased the Z nice car

 

butt-dynoJET...........

 

dude... i know G35C 6M is fast... faster than my car fo sho..


but G35C Auto is just slow...from the way he/she drives... i could smoke him at least 2 car length up to 80...:thumbsdn: And i still think Honda/Acura has the best Navi... the pic res in that G35C SUCKS!

but love the exhausts sound and those Taillight at night....

 

that video sucked, i bet it was some dude/chick driving their pop's auto G35 around

 

Come on now. Seriously. The Z is faster than the CLS in every respect. It feels significantly faster. Not slightly. Significantly. 5.4 seconds 0-60 in C&D. Show me a CLS Auto that runs that.

I am taking it to E-Town as soon as it gets nicer outside (we got another 8 inches of snow up here in Danbury yesterday)

 

the only reason the car looks winded in those videos is because we are used to seeing the tach accelerate when VTEC hits. In the VQ series (at least what the dealer told me) the variable valve timing is continuous throughout the RPM band. So no sudden jump in RPMs.

I drove a 6speed G35 C about two months ago and it was definitely much faster than my CL-S Auto. No comparison there. I've never laid hands on a 6sp CL-S, so I can't do a fare comparison. I did notice the acceleration was much more linear than most Hondas I've owned, even in my non-VTEC Integra LS. Reminded me of a BMW actually.

The navi on the Infiniti's/Nissans suck ass. The dealer allowed me some road side time to play w/ it. The processing speed is very slow (reminded me of a Pentinum II) and the joystick is closer to the passenger side which made an awkward reach, especially while trying to keep my eyes on the road. From what I understand they did this because in Japan the driver sits on that side, and Nissan was too cheap to mod it for the USDM version.

Overall exterior aesthetics of the G35C is much nicer than the CL. The interior of the G35C seems cheaper and not as sturdy. I definitely like our seats much more.

 

While I agree that it is a bit slow when calculating routes, and it's not the best OEM navi available, to say it sucks ass is pretty harsh. It has a bunch of features the CL navi doesn't have, and I actually prefer the joystick to touch screen. Once you get used to it, it's not a problem at all. Also, no fingerprints on your lcd all the time. The screen is also much larger than that of the CL, and has a 'birds eye view' 3d display mode that just looks awesome. It also has a day/night mode which inverts the screen background color to a black color. This really gets rid of the glare of the bright daytime display mode.

One thing I do hate about it though is the fact that due to some new laws, the system prevents you from setting a new route while you are driving. I remember you could do this without a problem on my buddy's tl. Also, every time you turn thew car off/on, the navi prompts you to agree to some legal bullshit. Pretty annoying; may have to do with those new navi laws.

Oh and the best thing about it is the voice of the NAVI chick sounds WAY sexier than the CL/TL navi chick LOL. She gives me a woody. :wackit:

 

RWD, Better grip, better 1/4 times.

 

i timed is 0-60 and it was 8 seconds, give or take .5. That is pretty weak, he should have bought the 6sp.

 

7.5-8.5 seconds???!!! You better do some research on the G35. There is NO way the auto G35 does anything over 6.5 seconds 0-60. Even with a really bad driver. If you timed it on the vid, and it was 8 seconds, then it wasn't at WOT. Period.

 

looks pretty "winded" to me! there is a very sharp decline in power after 4.5k. Much sharper than the CLS!

 

yet its just as fast. so what.

 

I watched the video. :thumbsdn:

That thing sounds like ASS compared to a CL/TL with CAI.
VTEC RULES !!!!

You should go drive a 6speed cls

 

can anyone host a video for me. i got some clips. that show me doing 0~60 hehe

 

People were saying how slow the car was in the video, so i timed the video with my watch. It came to about 8 seconds, fell free to time the video your self. It obviously wasnt ideal conditions, below freezing the road may have even been a little damp. I dont know but given those 2 factor a 0-60 time of 8 would not be unreasonable. He basically burned out through first gear which killed it.

 

yeah...maybe I was a little harsh...

It does have many more features than the Acura Navi...

The salesman showed me how to locate nearby gas stations, fast foods, grocery stores, etc etc and it has their phone numbers too. Pretty nice feature. I found the birds eye view to be of no advantage over the topical view. In fact it was more difficult to read the roads.

But when it comes down to it, you want the navi to be fast. When you're traveling down a highway and you make a wrong course, you want that thing to recalculate a route ASAP. That's the part I think sucks ass on the Infiniti

 

RWD. Honestly, it's soo much better than FWD for fun alone. My next car will be RWD or AWD. I've had all three types:

S-10 Blazer w/ 5.7liter V8 and other mods. RWD
Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX AWD
Acura CL-S FWD

The CLS is the best FWD car I've ever driven but once again, un going to RWD again.

 

Ernie,

What are you gonna buy???

I thought your Lease was up in March and 2433.07 certainly isn’t going to get you very far in the Mercedes dealership ???

Shawn S

 

 

It's up in July and I am gonna buy it from Honda and street sell it.

I don't know what's gonna be in my parking spot next. 2433.07 does go very far in a Mercedes Dealership, just enough to buy a hood ornament or keyring.

I'm actually gonna take out the A4 3.0 again later this week and the 330 again. I'll keep you updated.

 

g35 video on Dtm forum :o
