If you like numbers, just for the fun of it, here’s a quick summary index of the runs from our future hall-of-famers.

1) First up is Heat, looking good in a stock Graphite G barely past break-in, maybe not quite optimal engine output yet.
2) Next is Ahujadaddy in an Athens Blue already at 3000 miles, also stock.
3) This just in, KAHBOOM in a stock OB with new best time for the G under cooler conditions and under 13.8!
4) Long awaited first 6MT, EJ2000 launches using clutch skillz in a loaded stock G (OB of course) with 4WAS under slick conditions.
5) First outing by rookie spyderbret at The Strip, quite possible the thinner air hurts a heavy G
6) Second outing by spyderbret, odo now at 5800 miles
7) A great 13.571 run by FLGspot in his lightly modded G!
…

Don’t miss out on the great après-race commentaries, pics/vids, advice, and tips shared. With enough experience gained running the G37, the prediction is 13.7 1/4 mile is possible for a stock G37.

Good luck on the next runs!

Ahujadaddy

hahahha, AWESOME! I really thought i'd be the first to track it, but the other dude beat me by a couple days.

btw, i had a "full tank of unleaded" lol... but yea, full tank for me. Tryin to keep stuff constant for now, bfr i go for a REALLY fast time... at which time i will remove the spare tire also.

Track conditions were: Dry and bout 80 degrees

chilibowl

I think with a quarter tank, no spare tire, a better 60 ft (practice your launching), I believe a 13.7 is achievable. I think a 6MT could possibly reach a 13.5 with some stickier tires.

leeI35G35

Going to the track with little gas is always better. My spare tire with jack was removed the first day of ownership. lol

OT: Have you guys seen the donut. That is one nice *** donut we have.

Ahujadaddy

^^it is an awesome donut indeed

i will go with 1/4 tank next time. just wanted to get a baseline

KAHBOOM

iTrader: (4)

My break in method was pretty much as per the factory recommendation. This was only the 4th time that I redlined it and never did before 800 miles.

leeI35G35

KAHBOOM, WOW!!! I knew there was hope for us. That is a very good time and the engine is still not completely broken in. WOOT WOOT!! I must brag your time to some friends.

cvt

now i know with a 6MT and a good driver the G37 can get into mid 13s...

solopresident

G37 gets faster and faster.

ABQG35c

If you can shift as fast..

That's awesome tho that you got the time that you did kahboom. Hey, I think I'm going back to the G again... And save me about 35k to invest My mom will have the SUV, so I'll just use hers to lug people around in

NemesisG37

This car should be able to break into a 13.59 stock.
