Weighing in at 3500 lbs. bare bones, full fluids, standard equipment, etc.
3) I beat more than one G35, including ones with the HR engine.
I like how you said gearing> torque prior to that last post
now you say I won because of a torque advantage
My point was simple, they're heavy slouches with no room for improvement, sorry that instigated butthurt from someone on a MUSTANG forum. Isn't that what everyone whines about when someone says the non-Ford car would've won in a kill thread?
"Moving" for "what it is" now THAT is the dumbest thing anyone ever says.
You know who I hear that most from? People who own stock econo-cars or things with no room for improvement that they've already dumped a bunch of money into.
Fast for what it is doesn't mean anything. My car is fast for a turbo charged mustang
a stock civic is fast for a stock civic. It's a statement that isn't stating anything.

Where did I state that you beat those cars due to a torque advantage? Seriously, where?
Also, where did I say anything about "running good for what it is?

First time you've said Sport, I know those were special and only came one way.
If my car is heavier, less aerodynamic, has a lower MSRP, 3.31's, etc etc all these advantages the G35 sedan would have. What advantage is there? torque
And the last bit was in response to the mach guy butting in and talking out of his *** about an SE-R
My statement is still perfectly correct. Yes you proved me wrong, you can get a 13.9 every now and again out of the latest G35. Pulling the same 60' and 0-60? If you were doing that I wouldn't have destroyed G35's as easily as I did. G37 reviews aren't putting it near the low 13's as you say. Neither matters to me now.

You're missing the point dude and splitting hairs
There are other N/A V6's that run faster than that so it's not fast for what it is, even with YOUR argument thrown in here
I said civic, not civic Si
A civic Si is fast for a civic Si
Are you getting what I'm saying? Saying it's fast for the car it isn't doesn't mean anything. That's just an excuse thrown out when something can't compete with anything anyone cares about.

Well if you really want the statement to be trim specific fine a 92SI is not fast for an SI with the 2007 SI, a Civic is a Civic.
"either it moves nicely for what it is".. Doesn't look like he was claiming it to be the fastest to me?.? NA V6's look at the Challenger, Camaro, 2011 Mustang V6...yes, it infact does "move nicely" for what it is. Which is a wide range, unlike your specifics.

Good to know. I thought the 05-06 coupe manuals were rated at 298hp though. That's what wikipedia told me atleast.
And I'm enjoying the car, just not as much as I thought I would. It's fun. But, going from the Trans Am to it was just too much of a difference and I need to get back into something that doesn't sound like a weedwacker. lol. I found a nice '03 Mach 5speed w/ 50k on it at a dealer in Wisconson that I think I might go look at next weekend to see if they can work me a decent deal on a trade. I'll only do it if they'll be willing to make me a good deal though, which usually doesn't happen at a stealership. lol

Allow me to explain
1) G35's had options, if yours was truly "fully loaded" it weighs more than the curb weight, Sorry I was typing while doing something else, I meant driver.
Weighing in at 3500 lbs. bare bones, full fluids, standard equipment, etc.
2) I never said my AUTO VERT weighed any less, so how about you bite your tongue
3) I beat more than one G35, including ones with the HR engine.
I like how you said gearing> torque prior to that last post
now you say I won because of a torque advantage
My point was simple, they're heavy slouches with no room for improvement, sorry that instigated butthurt from someone on a MUSTANG forum. Isn't that what everyone whines about when someone says the non-Ford car would've won in a kill thread?
"Moving" for "what it is" now THAT is the dumbest thing anyone ever says.

Yep you got me
I put a turbo on my car and now I'm king dick I run Z06's for money all day every day
I'm the baddest mother ****er around. Nothing can beat my stock internal 3v convertible. Ever. None of this is sarcasm.
Now I'm comparing my BOOSTED car? Kid go back and look at the first thing I said before opening your mouth. That's far from what I'm doing. Read the argument before getting mad that I'm making fun of the engine in your daily.
Someone asked about G35's speed, I told them what it is. Slow.
Just because you people who got suckered into buying a knockoff luxury car doesn't mean you have to get butthurt about it.

The VQ35HR G35 runs high 13s in the hands of magazine testers, but have gone mid 13s as well with people that have spent more time at the track with the car.
My G35 will pull a 2.1 60' all day long, and will do 0-60 in the claimed 5.5 seconds. It is geared very aggressively and has a 3.73 rear with LSD. The reason AGAIN that you pulled on those G35s is because they were NON HR ENGINES. I'm not saying that you wouldn't pull some on one like mine from a dig (in stock form), honestly, it would come down to whoever got traction. You gotta get off this torque thing man. I make a whopping 230 WTQ in my SS... never stopped me from pulling consistent 2.1 60s at half throttle on street tires. Its the power under the curve that counts.
I'm not upset by my purchase btw. For $18k I got an loaded up luxury sedan that will run a 13 something 1/4 mile at over 100 mph. The car has so many options that it would probably jerk me off if I asked it to.
