OK so last night my buddy and I were driving to grab some food at like 945 or so and he is drivin a G35x sedan auto. He is driving behind me and calls me cuz there is an empty 2 lane road up ahead, and wants to see what my car has against his, no challenge, just curious. So he pulls up next to me and I downshift into 3rd @ about 40mph. We pull and because I am stick i had the quick lead, but he caught up pretty quick at the end of each gear, and we had to ease up after a dead even run to approx 95mph. Well, that was fun! So we went back and same drill, except we did a pull from about 30 and I was in the upper 4k range of 2nd gear. He comes up next to me and we pull. This time I have a clear holeshot because I was at peak power range. Hit rev limiter in 2nd (oops), but recovered quickly and I had about a 1/4 car length on him almost all the way through to approx 95mph again.

Very fun little race, I'm sure driver skill and the fact that he is auto played a huge part in the outcome but who knows. Peep my sig for the mods, and please keep the "streetracing is bad" comments to a minimum, you all have done it too .

 

tight story! the g35's are fast. even if they are auto.

 

Cool sounds fun!

 

i comment that street racing is bad


... but still a nice race.. too bad i cant say the same when i ran against my bro's lightly modded GTI (1.8T).
gotta love 1.8Ts

 

i took a g35 on lakeshore, he was rite at my door, they r quick cars. took him at just 1/2 car length. i was surpirsed.

 

What are your mods? And was it a G35 coupe? Stick or auto?

 

I took a G35 coupe with a custom exhaust in the ML, by a car length but none the less, the look on the guys face was a Kodak picture moment.

What is the 0-60 time on a stock 1.8?
The ML runs 6.2 to 60 accord to MB, I have a feeling it is a teeny bit quicker.

 

g35's are definitely quick cars... congrats on that

 

sweet

 

i have the apr 91, 710n, airbox mod, and a hole in my exhaust getting a borla or apr exhaust in 2 weeks or so. the g35 was stock and auto. the old man in the g35 was surprised, so was i.
