My statement isn't wrong at all. I've had my own car at the track and ran a 13.7 @ 101. The G37 sedan does not trap anywhere close to 106mph bone stock. Doesn't matter what tranny, AWD or RWD, driver skill, etc, it doesn't matter.

Check that thread. Plenty of examples of what is considered normal for the G37 sedan at a drag strip. Typically around 101-102mph. 13.6-13.9 1/4 mile.

Know somebody that saw the run.

Car was bone stock out of a rental fleet.

Front tires 48 psi, rear tires 28, no spare, 1/8 tank of gas.

That's it other than good weather and a good driver.

Wow.. that is indeed impressive for a stock G.

That sounds like it could be right.

Stock G37 sedan = ultimate sleeper

Motor Trend tested a G37S sedan in 09 and got a 1/4 mile time of 13.5 at 105.6 mph.

AFAIK, 13.50 is the commonly accepted quarter mile time for the G37.

Seems just about right to me.

Idk, speaking from having spray in a g37, 13.0 flat doesn't seem unreal.
I was shaving a full second off with the spray, trapped 109@12.8 was my best with a 100 shot. He could be running a small shot, I have seen a ton of 50 shot set ups on maximas why not on g's. ?

Funny stuff in this thread.

Is Hertz now offering nitrous on rental cars along with the optional GPS? What is the daily rate for the Juice at Hertz?

The car was stock. DA was -150. Car was a base model with 17 inch wheels. Period.

If Motor Trend can get over 105 mph trap speed from a G37, not sure why it would take nitrous to trap 106.

All things considered, 12.8 @ 108 is soft for a 100 shot.

What was you 60 foot?

What was the DA?

What size wheels did you have?

Did you shallow or deep stage?

Did you let the car cool down before your run?

Did you empty your trunk and take out your spare?

Did you run it light on gas? (Full tank is like having a 150 passenger along for the 1/4 mile ride)

60 ft was 1.9

Running heavy 20 x 9 20 x 10 savini's

Car was as cool as it could be on 90deg without oil cooler.

Trunk has 10 lbs nitrous tank plus hardware brakets plus the nano tank another 5 lbs.

No spare

Less than 1/2 tank.

Plus i had a 5 at that shifted like a sloth.

Never bothered with the times slip I was disgusted.

Why do people reference the Motor Trend numbers as if they're legit numbers? Everyone realizes that Motor Trend doesn't actually take cars to a drag strip to get their numbers. Everyone knows that right?

I trust numbers from professional testers way more than amateur drag racers. What most important aspect is that the methodologies employed for getting those results are consistence. I consider it is perfectly legit to compare the numbers that are produced by the same group of professionals.

How can you trust something when you don't know what methodology they are using? That baffles me. All of the car books use imprecise ways to measure 1/4 ET and trap speed.

A drag strip is a drag strip. Same thing happens all across the country at every drag strip. All measured the same way. Really, the only "real world" numbers any of us are going to see.

Also, to your point about "compare numbers that are produced by the same group" - well you can't compare Motor Trend numbers to an actual run a drag strip because they are not "produced by the same group" and they use completely different methodologies.

Finally, your point about "amateur drag racers" - the thing is, trap speed is fairly consistent at a drag strip regardless of driver skill. The ET is highly affected by driver skill and shifting quickness. Trap speed, not so much.

Yes, all drag strips in the world are at the identical elevation. They all have the identical surface. And every car is driven under the identical temperature and humidity conditions, by the same drag-racing robot.

Good point.
