Who thinks this is farfetched??

GreddyBoy858 · 08-15-2007, 04:10 PM

I just find it hard to believe that a 230hp 328i beats a 300hp G35. I have driven both, and the G is faster. Unless your Magnaflo muffler gave you ~70hp, I just dont see how you got 4 cars on him.. The only thing I can think of is for you to find a different G35 and race him. Maybe your friends car has something wrong with it?

tlester · 08-15-2007, 05:24 PM

Car and Driver ranked the 2007 328i above the G35. Even they said the 328i could beat it.

Lee Rambler · 08-15-2007, 05:34 PM

didn't bother reading entire thread, but my vote goes to far fetched...

oh no,

now we're confusing winning a comparo test in a mag with being faster

the 328 won the test, the G35 was faster

wishfulthinking.com did a road test that did verify the OP's assertions.

who's the one claiming the car with 70 less hp is faster

actually, did you ever mention what year G35 you're "racing"? I think we all just assume it's a new one, but the new ones have more HP than the G35 of a few years ago

if it's old and beat up maybe you do stand a chance

wasn't there a pretty big HP swing from the first ones to the most recent ones though

iirc they were about 255 to start, but that got bumped up to 270ish or even a bit higher in the last g35 coupes

edit, the early coupes had 280, later 298 hp

esbezee92 · 08-15-2007, 10:01 PM

not positive but i think they started at 275 and if you get the 6MT (at least the new ones) you get 295, idk when 295 started being available, def wasnt the first few MY's

They never has 255. Started at 280. Sedan had 270.

edit: sedan had 260..

SunnyD · 08-15-2007, 11:51 PM

Yea 03-04 had 280 hp...05+ had 298.

GreddyBoy858 · 08-15-2007, 11:57 PM

And the new G has 306hp

dragonfly · 08-16-2007, 02:13 AM

They were both automatics- The maximum power that G35 AUTO coupe ever made was 275hp @6200 rpm(2007 model).

Here is a coupe comparison:
2007 G35 vs. 2007 328i
275 hp@6200 vs. 230 hp@6500
268 lbft@4800 vs. 200 lbft@2750
3505 lb vs. 3417 lb

for the people that didnt read the entire thread... I drove the g35 after seeing the 328 beat it.. i drove it because i thought that the g35 driver wasnt pushin the pedal to the floor.. when i drove it. i did break launch traction off and EVERYTHING.. and i lost by half a car - a car length... WHY WOULD HE BULLSHIT.. what will he gain out of it?... as if he was lying would make it true or something.

esbezee92 · 08-16-2007, 02:40 AM

when you drove the g yourself how was your takeoff, you said you brake launched it but did you spin to much or would you call it a good launch?

they ran like 4 times.. i drove it 1nce.. my launch was the best one out of them all... i would say it was an almost perfect launch.. very little wheelspin.. reved it to ABOUT 2k rpm

esbezee92 · 08-16-2007, 02:46 AM

well in that case... nice

maybe me or someone else thats local in a 328 should run oblivion to see if he has a particularly strong 328 or if these cars are just underrated

Oblivion08 · 08-16-2007, 02:55 PM
