let him call you out or catch him talking smack then make him back it up. calling him out will make you cocky. let him initiate and you eliminate

I never got to run any i dont think with my mods when i got them on the 350z so... maybe that will help you out a little.. in my 350z i raced a 98GT on a 100 dry shot and still pulled him.. idk i guess i had a freak!! although the g35 is a pig and weights alot lol who knows run him and if he wins just mod your car and run him again!! thats what its all about!!

before anyone calls bs on my stories i have a buddy on here archoverseer and streetassian that can back me up on it!!

p.s. i now drive a C5 vette and love it !

Regardless, unless your car is a m6 and you suck at driving as much as you do at owning the car, you'll probably win.

dont be mad because you bought a pos. and he bought a TA. and from forever and now on you will be playing catchup to him even though he knows nothing about his TA.

Second, I don't "suck at owning my car" I keep maintenance on it, change the oil, everything you're supposed to do. You don't see me flaming at you spending $20,000 more than I did for a car slower than mine, so don't bite my *** off for a first offense of "bench racing." I would have done it already if I could find him out of the 1600 kids at my school.

Anyway, My car is an M6, but I have been told that I am remarkable at shifting, so I don't think that's a barrier for me.


Oh god, trust me, the G35 is almost as popular as modding Jettas around here. It's kinda sad.
No offense.....but that means squat. Truly. If you look at the big picture...someone 'telling you' you can shift remarkable only means something if they are die hard LS guys themselves, to know where the best shifts are.

Hmmm.......I'll be good today and leave your biased ignorant post alone.

Oh wait..I guess I didn't.

I smoked an '03 single cab Ram (with mods) in my '03 Maxima with bolt-ons. I used to beat GT Mustangs and all sorts of cars with that damn Maxima. It was an auto, so I had to get them from a stop of course, but nothing beats the look on a kids face when his GT can't keep up with a big V6 4 door. That VQ35 had more pull N/A than I have ever felt from any other stock V6 I have driven. I actually beat a few G35s off the line to because they couldn't launch for ****. I have a hard time calling that car a ricer too because when I think of a ricer, I just usually consider them as a little "ving, ving!" 4-banger. I never really had the intention of making that car fast or anything because it was just my daily at the time, but I was pleasantly surprised with its performance. Factory freak I guess. Against an LS1 car though, it wouldn't even be close.

G35's are not fast cars. Drive the car with no hick ups and it will be an easy win.

G35s do not commonly have engine problems after 50k miles. You may have dealt with some that had been neglected (i.e. no oil change, ever), but in general, the motors are fine. The only version of the VQ series engine that had oil consumption problems is referred to as the Rev-up model, and it was only used in limited numbers, and not every one of those engines had the issue.

true. *they are not neglected or els nissan wouldent cover a motor, beaing beat on is a whole diffrent thing* but a lot of "used" 6 speed g's drink oil. it happens. same with the 350z's i think we have done 3 or 4 motors in the year i have worked there. im not saying ALL do. but if its an 2003 g35 with like 100K on it there is a larger chance the motor is weak...not like you should really have to worrie if you dont screw up

After 100k I would buy it...these motors are made by the French after all.
