G35 Sedan vs Mustang GT

[MFL28]

Well first off, I do not own a G35, but I think they are splendid vehicles. I drive a 2001 Mustang GT, 5spd. I know someone with an 06 auto sedan, stock and I'm not one of these guys that is into street racing and endangering myself and other people but he insists his car is faster than mine. Are these like 280 horse at the crank or what? What is the torque? I know they are rated different depending on the year and trans. Anywho, I'm like I don't know man, I love your car, but I don't think you could quite hang with it being 4door and auto. I have a few modifications that are probably good for 20 crank horse. what's your take on this?

[tollboothwilley]

It'd be a drivers race. Take it to the track, but the G35, sedan or not, is a fast car. I'd beat you in mine

[MFL28]

an 03 sedan with a popcharger? What's that..an air intake?

[roeinondubs]

did u install ur spacer or have a shop do it?

[roeinondubs]

its just a over priced filter

[MFL28]

oh ok, just curious. Upgraded intake probably does more for a DOHC motor like the G35 than the sohc stang, but 03 sedans are 260 and 260 at the crank. I'm at 260 and 302 stock at the crank. about 280 and 315 with my mods. Not real sure about your claim on beating me in an 03 sedan..?

[Focusedintntions]

it'd be a very close race...hope your driving skills are up to the challenge...otherwise you'll lose

I for sure would beat you in my 06. I have the sedan... oh and yes the sedans are faster than the coupes in the 05+

I have the 6mt and i know that i am good for 310 crank HP!

I don't think your stang puts out any more than 250-270!

Oh and the G's look so much better!!!!!!!!!

and this will not be a drivers race.... It will be on your end! one error and the auto will have you for sure!

Keep us posted!

ya bro my 05 altima sticks with the new gt's and they should be faster then ur 03. ill i got done to it is intake & ex.

[rn79870]

Have an 06 GT and an 08 G in the garage. The GT has a major advantage in torque, and torque gets the car moving. The G has the high rpm power, and that comes in once the car is moving. Take it to the track and find out.

Thats the rason you need an X. It gets you going right at the start.

To the op keep as posted how it goes. I think it is a drivers race. I have the GT on my list. But I have the 07X.

[tollboothwilley]

ya, i installed all mods myself

big difference between the 2001 and the 2006 GT's though.

Like i said at the beginning, its still a drivers race. Most will be.

Now your 6MT is a good 25 horse over the auto, right? I do not doubt that I would lose to your car. Like I said, I'm at about 275-280 at the crank and probably 315 ft lbs. Sure, there's more room for error on my part having the manual. Stock 06 auto G35 is 280 and 270, and similar weight. I see the 07 305 horse auto G35 goes thru it in 14.0, according to motortrend. I can run anywhere from 13.8-14.2. I don't see an 06 auto 280 horse version running any quicker than 14.6. So hypothetically I don't see this guy's G keeping up with me. If I had my 3.73s in with some sticky tires, it wouldn't even be close, but that's another story.

I work with a lady that has the sport auto 2006. I think you would be shocked at how quick it is. Off the line the auto have the tQ converter that can be faster than a manual. They just have to hit the gas and LOL.

If you have mods then there is no telling what they might put out lol. Just like i have 19's on my car now. But when i had the 18's it was much faster. I just need a smaller wider tire in the rear to fix that 275 30 19 and then i will be back in business lol.

Take him to a track and have a little fun.

See you might beat him in the 1/4 mile but i know he will take you on the 0-60 just cuz the auto is faster there!

Good Luck I want to hear some results

Maybe Gwoods will be along and post some of his times. He runs a 14.0 (corrected to about 13.8 I think) all the time. 07 G35, 5AT. Gwoods is our track expert and has run or seen about every combination there is.

Jeff, you there?

I think Jeff runs a 13.7 and my sedan should be good for 13.9-14.2 But i still havn't made it to race the MACH1 yet... But soon i will find the time to go on a wednesday LMAO!

MFL28,

The Sedans put out less peak HP, but put out a little more torque. They weight a couple hundred pounds less than the coupes do.

03/04 Sedans put down 260 HP05/06 28007+ 306

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

The only advantage you have over the G35 is torque if you know how to handle it, once it starts moving, it's gone.

Check out dragtimes.com. Pull up the G35s, then dyno sheets. There's an 07 G35 stock 5AT pushing 286 to the wheels.

An 06 5AT would probably good for 240-250 to the wheels.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

I know the 05-06 6mt's sedans and coupes are rated at 298 HP but the sedan weigh less than the coupes lol.

Sedan>Coupe= SEDANS is FASTER!!

Im not sure what the 03-04 6mt sedans are rated but the coupes were 280

Here is the link to the site... The G did it in 14.19 the stang 14.28 But im sure that is a good time for the stang. I looked at a stock 2003 and it was a 14.5 so i don't know.

~~~~~~~~~

Accourding to this guy who has everything i have done to my sedan check out the times.

http://www.dragtimes.com/Infin....html

I am sure that my sedan can do it in 13.8 if this guy can with all the same mods. I have 4 245 40 18's that i took off when i put on the 19's...

I really need to go to the track.

[MFL28]

thanks for the link. not sure what to make of that. said it was an 05 G35. didn't see any specifics, had to be a manual coupe or something. no way that was an auto sedan running 14.19 bone stock. won't happen. Don't see an 06 auto sedan running that either. different cities, different dates, different weather. can't make too much of that comparison.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

well check out the times I also edited it lol. I made a mistake. Also the 05-06 sedans are the same damn thing. I didn't find a 06 so i put a 05 and yes i checked the box for stock.

Hey im only going by the web site lol

but i like the numbers from the G35 6mt that i poted a link to!

DJ

[MFL28]

well I know there are G35's that could smoke me, mainly the 305 horse 6spds. I could hang with the 306 horse autos though, given that motortrend consistently got 14.0 out of one. But back to my original question..we're talking an 06 auto sedan here, stock. We're probably putting equal amounts of HP at the crank (within 5 at least) and I am a good 45 ft lbs of torque on the plus side over him. I just think he's a good 3-5 tenths slower than me, after doing some more research. guess there's only one way to find out though.

Find a track and report back to us!

who keeps their G stock anyways..

[Sentientbydesign]

Just out of curiousity, how do you know your crank power?

I guesstimate my RWHP to be in the 240-250 range and with a few add ons, CAI, Cat-back exhaust...etc. I'll probably make somewhere in the high 260s or low 270s.

There are 2 things I've learned over the years about power modding:

1) Manufacturers play with dyno numbers

2) Power mods are usually less than the sum of the HP gains. You can't add the y-pipe gain of 10HP to the Cat-back gain of 15HP to get 25HP, you'll probably get a little more than the higher of the two.

[MFL28]

My crank #'s are 260hp and 302 ft lbs. No, I'm not one of these idiots who claims 20 horsepower from a damn air intake. I do haev a ram air intake, catback exhaust, midpipe, bigger throttle body, and underdrive pullies. I figure the intake might make 5-6 at the crank, exhaust work 10-15 crank (mainly the midpipe), TB and pullies 5-8 at crank, so I might be in the 278-285 range. wheel power, I don't know. never dynoed. but yeah his G35 is totally stock.

[goneracin]

With your car, its not how much power you have/don't have. The problem you face is you have a five speed and more importantly, you have a problem getting it all to the pavement. A G puts down almost all its power with out wheel hop and tire spin. It will be a drivers race, but I would bet on the G.

[ryan_g35]

i have a auto 06 coupe and i have beaten my friends gt stock for stock by 2.5 cars he hasnt done anything to it so i dont know how it would turn out. I will admit he is not the best driver. I guess you just have to race him

I do?? That's news to me! I can launch pretty damn good. I have some good 285's in the rear that grab pretty well. No way this guy's G could hang with me off the line with a good launch..just physically impossible. I see him making up some ground as speeds progress, though.

[telcoman]

who keeps their G stock anyways..

[goneracin]

No offense, I have a mustang too, but unless you've done suspension mods in your rear, your tires are spinning and your wasting power. Go test drive a G and you will feel the difference.
