Freeway G35 Coupe Encounter

sunchild · 09-08-2005, 02:00 AM

I was cruising on the 5 South and a Silver G35 Coupe with clear sidemarkers (probably modified) with Brembo brakes (6 Speed Manual) wanted to play... we ran until my tires started to feel a little "different" but one thing was clear... on the freeway, the G35 Coupe could not edge on me...

Notes:

-Run Flat tires are something I may need to consider next time I buy tires.
-BMWs run like an Olymic Athlete on the freeway.
-I felt good.

Bad driver. Under normal conditions the G35 is clearly a faster vehicle. Heck, even a Nissan Altima clocks in at 0-60 in 5.9 these days.

Not talking about from launch, talking about from 80MPH to infinity

Nissan Altima clocks in at 0-60 in 5.9 by Cars and Driver
E90 330i was clocks in at 0-60 in at 5.5 by Cars and Driver

I'd say that's pretty impressive for an Altima.

stressdoc · 09-08-2005, 06:25 PM

That is the Altima SE-R. The standard model is slower. I would bet on a 330i in any road or track tangle.

Zero to 60 times are meaningless in a road race.

Racing on a freeway is also meaningless.

The track is the only real judge.

Real judge of what? This post is about an encounter of the 330i and a G35 MT6 on the freeway.

Yea you fatass...

just kidding.

g35's top end seems to be weak, I had an encounter with one on the freeway when i had my CTS and he didnt have enough to take me. So dunno, any g35 drivers have any comments on the g's top end power?

do you realize that most people aren't giving you the full potential of their car?
on the street it's much more about who feels like slowing down first, or who stops gassing it earlier. NOT WHAT CAR IS FASTER

most of the time people aren't even racing you!!!!!

exclusivo · 09-09-2005, 12:18 AM

mm hmm

The Altima 3.5 is the biggest piece of crap I've ever driven.
Torque- steer city!
