I know what you mean. A guy in a new Dodge Charger tried to drive over me on the Tollway is afternoon. It's bad enough with the Ricers and Mustangs, now it's "look at me, I got a Hemi"

G35s are nice, but unless it is highly modded, doubt it will come close to the C5.

I used to have a G35 6-speed coupe:



But my bolt-ons only LT1 powered C4 could destroy that thing in a race, let alone a C5. Nice car and fun to drive, but fast? I suppose it's all relative. Just my .02

Isnt G35 supposed to be the luxury version of the Nissan 350Z, which is not such a bad car, if I may say so. I'm not sure how the Z would compare against a C5.

But then as we see it here, the original poster's car is modded too. So a modded C5 against a modded G35 is a dead brainer.

The G35 is heavier, and has 70 less horse power. There's no way they're going to keep up with a C5 unless you mod them.

I think the G-35 looks sexy as hell, but fast? Not quite.

my c5 is stock, my friends 350 has a tune, gears, new fly wheel and clutch .. and its not even close from a stop... they are decently quick at higher speeds though. the c5 still puts Lengths on it...
