at the crank...figure approx 20-25% loss to the wheels = 210-224. mine is approx 200 at the wheels and weighs a lot less (im pretty sure on that)

and i really dont know if they were trying as hard as they could. they were keeping up thats for sure (80 on 19th at the airport)

edit: just looked up specs on msn autos an the G has almost 1000 pounds more than i

[thurmanmerman]

the is about a 700-1000lb differance depending on occupants...

i think that might have been cody finley

G35's are extremely over wieght. I drove one and was not extremely impressed, they need more power, alot of it. but they handle like a dream.

Was a black 350z with black rims and tint?(what kenn stated)

It was out by 45th, not sure on the day. I was in my 325i w/absolutely no traction, lol. Oh and this is Paul (formerly nissankingcab).

Yes, but at night they are hard to tell the differance, even more so, when the car is fully debadged with mods.

[StangerBanger96]

I'm willing to bet ryan could tell the difference...they aren't THAT similar of a vehicle.

Even with a bodykit that makes it more 350zish it still doesn't resemble it that much IMO

[thurmanmerman]

there is a slight chance that it could be mistaken from the side... the side profiles are similar

[camzaro28]

G35 is a mid-high 14 sec car. What does your RSX run?

[Joel]

well... when Me(ken's GSR) Ken(his RSX, stock) and Ryan raced, ryan smoked us both by a lot.

nope, G35, had the tails and the headlights......and for future note, i can easily tell what kinda car is ahead of me or behind me from several blocks away.....i get this from being a car nut for way too long and working on them every single day.
