Default G35 vs AP1

06 G35 - Stock

00 AP1 - I/E/TP & AP2 motor.


2 runs from 60 to 100mph. I'd end up with 2 cars ahead in the end. We did do a run with him one car ahead @ a lower speed. I'd end up passing him with one car ahead & keep pulling. sounds about right?

a stock s2k and a bolt-on 6MT G35(intake, spacer, exhaust, reflash/tune) are roughly evenly matched with equal drivers. The G is much more forgiving when it comes to shifting well. a 5AT G35 with the same bolt-ons will likely be a tad slower.

I used to own a G... great daily.

I watched a G35 slam into a solid rock wall in the mountains head-on at 50+mph. Probably the single most horrific thing I've ever witnessed. The truly amazing thing was seeing the the two guys in the front climb out of the wreckage without a bump or a scratch. Amazing machine.

I want to do a run with a G35 with bolt-ons I think it be a lot closer. I think the black on black G35 is HOT!

My G35 was totalled when I got rear ended by a truck; I was completely stopped at a red light when he slammed into me. I walked out without a scratch, and no pain/soreness the next morning.

I attribute a lot of it to active headrests; they're designed to move forward in the case of a rear impact to reduce/eliminate whiplash.

All in all, very solid car

I loved my G35 coupe a lot, but it was no where near as fun to drive as my S2K. The gear box an steering wheel almost felt disconnected in comparison. Great for a daily driver. But a rather boring jump IMO.
