OP, when cars are evenly matched, it does come down to the driver, but mostly that applies to the dragstrip, where experience, timing and nerves matter more than a few HP give or take on similar cars. The street is a completely different matter. Usually what wins on the street is Crazy. The person willing to do whatever it takes to win the moment, regardless of consequences to their car, their safety, or the safety of others... that's the one who usually wins. Moreover, that's the one you should just let win, and walk away.
People who hit up the dragstrip have more point of reference than I do for this opinion. It's been 30 years since I took a car to a dragstrip. As for street racing, well...
You'll grow out of that (mostly).My advice is to have fun with your friend when you're both on the road, but avoid actually racing one another in any situation where there's traffic. It's dangerous, man. But if you do want a straight up drag race, do it proper, with a starter and a measured quarter mile on an abandoned road. Give yourself plenty of space between one another, and make sure you're both cool with the whole thing. Also, practice alone beforehand.
Personally, I think your question is lame, and spending time caring about who's car is faster is just childish. But I've also been there in the long long ago, so I thought I'd give you some actual advice instead of just mock you. But I'll do that do, because car forum.

The sarcasm is strong in Razorr.

I'll have some insight on this in the Spring. I buddy of mine has a fully bolted 370, I'm going to have I;E. We both will have tunes, His will be local mines going to be with Motion Lab, and we are going to run the cars and see what happens. I think I'm going to get killed cause he has headers( Stillen tho) But we'll see.

Im pretty sure you could beat him with that.. the only factor that concerns me if that yours is AWD which adds more weight
By the Numbers: 2014 Infiniti Q50, G37, and G35 Sedans
note that they state for the G37x: Quarter-Mile: 13.9 sec @ 100.5 mph
vs the G37's RWD 13.5 sec @ 105.3 mph
Search youtube videos of stock G37 VS 370Z. If your friend really is not about cars he will probably suck at shifting
EDIT: missed this post
you wont need any other mod after this one to win.

I'm pretty sure with those mods you'll beat him. Like previously stated he'll probably miss a shift. Since he's not a car guy I bet he'll also have problems with his launch. You have an X with AT. Traction plus control are in your corner.
PS: Find some nice straight back roads and practice your launch and running through the gears. When you get up to 100 mgh things get a little scary.

so I saw my buddy at a stop light (unplanned) and he missed 3rd..... It wasnt even close and all I have is an ARK catback no tune or anything else yet. I wonder what mods are G sedans would need to beat a stock 370z if both drive perfectly though which is what my real question was, I suspect a full bolt on tuned G would out run a Stock 370 just my thoughts

If you feel it's necessary to be beating your friends and random people with power and speed, you deserve not to have a license.
Impress people with a visually appealing vehicle, one that turns heads and sounds great - not speeding by like a jackass.

Either way, it's something I'd like to see. And as far as being a worthy hypothetical exercise, it's about equal to this thread.

Btw it was on a two lane road part of a highway with no one else around so the only people who could get hurt would be my dumbass self or the dumbass in the other car
I dont mess around with other peoples well being.
