You're right, camaros are awesome, so an auto one with 400hp should run 12s, right? Except the reality is, they are only .2 faster than a regular V6 G35 sedan. Sucks. I'd much rather drive the Infinity if I was in the market for a fun 13 sec car. If I wanted to have a drag car, i'd buy a mustang over a camaro, and i'm a chevy guy. The new Camaro has no purpose, too heavy to be a race car, too nasty to be a nice daily, and too expensive to be a budget fun car. It doesn't have a direct competitor because it doesn't match up to anything out there in enough categories to make a fair comparison.

I don't know why there's such bashing of the L99 going on. A better exhaust and a decent tune puts it close to 450-460 hp, and this with a **** load of torque across the powerband. A mildly modified auto SS is something I wouldn't consider to be slow!
Plus, you can argue all you want about tenths, and how close they are, but .2 at the end of a quarter looks a lot like rape.

haha wow so much hate in this thread. I seen the runs of the G35 at the track so did multiple other people and the G35 is bone stock. Ive seen it. Get over people this luxury family sedan is just a quick as your 2 door turbo car. People seem to forget this has particular G has the new VQ35HR motor. not the older DE less powerful motor. They are not as heavy as people seem to think. Curb weight is 3,497 LBS. The DA was excelent that night. we had a less 1,000 DA which is unusual for oklahoma. We will hopefully post a video of my SRT8 Charger vs this G35 when i get my car back rolling again. My Charger goes 13.5ish @105-106 MPH.

after automatic transmission and AWD drivetrain loss they dyno 210-240HP stock, depending on the engine. And weigh 3400-3500LBS.
They are what you would call a slow car.

I have a 350Z now that runs 12's, but I drive all manners of cars and i've driven quite a few of the new camaros and mustangs, v6 and v8 versions (mostly auto, rental cars and such), and the Camaro is the worst driving of the two, and fact of the matter is that it's slower in a straight line. I don't prefer a mustang over anything else, but if we're talking drag cars, it's the superior choice.

Sorry but it seems pretty obvious this G isnt the way it came off the showroom. Now it might have oem parts on that are considered an upgrade but a heavier 4 dr G auto running .1 faster than a Nismo 370?

How is the SS slower in a straight line? Even the newest Nismo 370z is rated at 13.6 @ 103. vs 13.3 @ 108 for a 2010 SS Auto.

Yeah the Z is far from a drag car. The most heavily modded N/A cars barely reach 12's, and that's only a couple people with gears and real tires. Even on nitrous, there's only a handful of quick cars. They are 100x more fun to drive than a mustang though, the body motions are so much better controlled, the feedback of everything is just so nice compared to the american cars. Sports car vs. pony car.

It's RWD and put's down 260ish whp. It's a 4 door 350Z, the 2nd Gen G sedan weighs less then the 2nd gen G coupe by 200 lbs or so.

Quit hating because stock Infiniti is running with an L99, and running mid 13's stock. Quit bashing my car because I "dared" to compare it with a few stock V8's.
It's clear who is the one doing the bashing here.

We have a winner lol. G35 is not a mid 13 car. The op is not stock. Anybody can say there stock. For you that think a mid 13 car at 102 is gonna hang with a ss dream on. He beat the driver. And he is modded. When somebody said that the ss pull hard at the end he said he short shifted. Like come on. I can see and excuse when i see one.

I had no idea this was another miller thread, about slow accords and family cars that are barely 200hp and weigh 3400lbs. It all makes sense. The troll with the unbelievably slow car got me again
