hey guys just wondering what everyones opinion is..my friend has a newish 08 or 09 G35 with full exhaust. he says he would leave me in the dust. i have an 09 coupe SS T/C with just a hahn intake. what does everyone think? another guy said his stock R/T magnum could smoke me. any ideas? just wondering

 

Get a tune and rape him

 

0-60 MPH is all around the same number for all three cars. I think you'd take the Magnum (unless he's got work done to it - those V8's get real powerful, real quick). You should be able to take the G35, all things being equal.

With a tune you should be able to beat both fairly well.

 

tune and rape him.

and i think your refering to a g37?? (unless they made the g35 in 09)

Regardless, G35's are very heavy...you will need a tune and a roll race

 

I raced an 06 g35 from a 45 and a 65. From the 65 i pulled about a car and a half and the 45 i lost but i was on his back tire. The g35 had test pipes and an intake. I have gm s2, catback, and intake so im pretty comparable with a stock tc.

 

i raced a g35 from a roll 50 and 45 I beat him brake boosting stock when he got test pipes we had the same race he pulled on me slightly at first but then after 80 I started to catch up

 

Grow a pair and just do it, worst that happens is you lose. Show some sportsmanship. Only pussies sandbag.

 

So he has a cat back or down pipe as well?

Id say you'd almost take him stock...do some light weight mods just in case, no back seat

 

I raced a '06ish G35 coupe from around 30 and he just stayed at my back bumper. I was stock, dont know what he had

 

just wondering because we wont be going to the track anytime soon, i dont like street racing for safety reasons. never been to the track before either so ill be pretty shitty i presume. his G35 is definately not 09 i was wrong. maybe even an 07. its an auto and he has a catback. pretty damn sure the wagon is stock. i have my hahn intake, and i think downpipe and trifecta next. he talks up that wagon like its a Viper. its only an R/T. same with the G35 guy. hes got an LED dome light and suddenly hes driving an F14 tomcat. lol nice guys tho

 

 

Smoke em Chris!!

 

If it makes you feel better, when I was on stock tune, I was never beaten by a 350Z/G35, even the Nismo 350Z became Cobalt food. Take them on a roll and you'll be good to go every time.

I can't quite say you'd be completely safe taking it from a dig though since I'm not sure how good you are from a dig.

The fact that it's an auto and an older one at that only gives you a greater potential to beat him.

 

is this seriously a wagon, or a sedan? If it is the 3.5l v6 your fine.

 

I think by wagon he was talking about the Dodge Magnum R/T.

 

when the f was a magnum mentioned?

 

Umm, read his original post.

 

Race them and find out, what are you afraid of?

 

I peepee slapped one.... some bald dood with air force shades ftml

 

oh last sentence I didnt read that the grammar was so jacked up.

a magnum rt?! lol

Please race these two and take video we need more stuff to laugh at.

 

^^ haha, yea i didn't understand the last part either...you go and run his g35 and its an auto idk you could beat him or not but those g35's are pretty quick and i ran one and they don't have no chance with me so i don't even try anymore. gas price's these days i think i'd hold off but i see your from MD.

i don't have a cobalt SS/TC i'm on here just to figure out how these damn cars work and help out if i should put money on my wife's car or not all these plastic parts i see under the hood n: crazy man

GL to you though man...lol

 

you = 240whp and lotsa torque
G35 = 260whp and not a lot of torque (also weighs more)
R/T = 280whp and lotsa torque (but weighs a crapload more)

whenin doubt, check out how each car does in the 1/4 mile at dragtimes.com
make sure you click the box that says stock only though

 

Hunter, the G35's have 258 ft/lbs of torque. I think that qualifies for a fair amount considering ours are rated at 260 ft/lbs?

 

i just mean comparing the two cars...we make peak torque just above idle. their peak torque is pretty high up, and its also almost 50 less than peak HP
cobalts (LNF ones anyway) have a MUCH greater torque curve than...well, anything i can think of. 100% peak torque from 2,200rpms to redline

 

i ran a vortech s/c g35 from a roll and i have a zzp s2... he got me by mmmmm 3 cars by 120?
