Default Wife's 07 G35 Vs my SS VIDS

I drove the G35 and had my brother drive my SS. The SS mods are in my sig. The G35 is an 07 Sport, meaning it has an HR engine and 3.73 gears with LSD. Pretty quick car down low.

nice runs and always cool to have video. Questionthough: why did the G fall back so hard the second race?

not surprising at all. the Camaro was Easing into it where the g35 looked to going just about all out with no grip issues. that camaro was probably a mid low 13 car with the easy launching it was doing in the vids

I was manually shifting the G35 using the paddle shifters in direct shift mode. 1st and 2nd shifted nice and clean, but for some reason 3rd lagged terribly. The other run I just left it in DS and let it shift itself.

This^^

I told him not to stomp it from the get go as to not light up the tires. I was launching the *** out of the G35 however, (flashing the stall) no traction issues other than a couple of 6-7 foot black marks, which were digging in hard and accelerating the G not that kind of spin where you feel like you're on ice. This G35 has good low end though. Between the HR engine and the 3.73s, it feels good. Awesome DD. It just doesn't have the top end that the LS1 has.

G35 is stock. 306HP HR engine, sport model, so it has 3.73 gears, LSD, and an 8k RPM redline for long pulls. Its a 4 door, but only weighs around 3500lbs. Strong car for what it is.

The SS is an 01 with a lid, LM2 cat-back, and a tune. Automatic. It has gone 12.61 at 110 mph on those 3 mods. She's a strong LS.

Here's a run with my wife driving the G35. We both flat footed it from D on the count of 3 at about 5 mph. View from the SS this time..

The Camaro needs gears and a stall.

That is all!

PS: You have a cool wife

Some 3.73s and a nice stall would do work for sure! That and some tires.

Thanks man, she's a pretty good sport as long as we're in a fairly safe area, which we def were.

It was just dust being kicked up where some farmers had tracked dirt from a field out onto the road with their trucks and tractors.
