not bad for a 5AT

i'm hoping 6MT can hit 13.5...especially if '07 Z can do 13.2

cvt

if a G37 hits 13.5 i'll be VERY impressed. i think it won't be done unless the 6MT loses 100lbs from it's base 3668 lbs curb weight

i'd give the 6MT at least .2 quicker than the auto

Just half a car length. There wasn't much room from light to light to really do anything. I was just shocked that when he took off, it was not like a progressive pull i.e. we are side by side and he evenutally passes, it was more like a instant jump to a car length, then I was able to bring it down to half a car. I didn't rev high or do neutral bomb. It was just a friendly race to see who takes off faster. The G37 manual is probably even or faster than a 335i auto, we just need a 1/4th to prove it. If we do another run but a longer distance or get to a track I will record it on film.

350z's can't run 13.2s without drag radials. With Drags Radials on a car, I would not consider that car stock. I have never seen a z run low 13's stock.

Why? when all tests show them neck and neck or within 1 tenth of each other on both the coupe and sedan?

cvt

what tests are these? so far we have only seen 1 guy do a 1/4 mile on a 6MT. obviously mag tests can be done better.

Is this true? I would think a 6 Speed would be much faster at least .2-.4 off the 1/4 Mile if Launched correctly and a good driver

oh no a 6mt 5at thread again can we not just agree to disagree.

Yeah, Cali definitely makes it hard to go turbo without taking a big risk of getting caught and fined.

BTW, I wanna take on a 335 to see what I can do against one.

cvt

what FI set do you have?...i see Vortech and Greddy TT on your sig...

I have a Vortech supercharger and the GReddy Evo TT exhaust system (which I am actually selling right now and does fit a G37 ).

...look at the dyno comparison done for the sedan on the G35 boards. The 6MT put down 2 - 4 hp more than the 5AT at peak both stock cars on the same machine on theh same day. You will likely see the same result on the Coupe.

The tests that I am referring to are Car and Driver, Road and Track, Automobile Mag, and all the posted and reported drag tests in the real world.
So far we have seen no indication that there is wide gap between the two on any of the mag tests or any real world tests. Surprisingly, the fastest real world times we have seen thus far reported are from 5ATs.

I agree that mag tests can be done better. But if they can be done better on one they can be done better on the other. I say all this as I don't think any G37s are going to be beating any 335s stock for stock. A 6MT G37 will not beat a 335 AT in a drag race from a dig.

cvt

i don't believe a G37S in any for stock will beat a 335i in a dig as well.

but i was just thinking the extra gear and gearing ratios plus the ability to rev higher to pop the clutch would generate a better time...at least flexibility to get better times.

yes the 6MT in those magazines have been timed at 13.9 to 14.1....similar to the 350Z tests they did which of course have seen 13.6s stock on stock tires on owner times.

of course we will never truly know until we see more 6MT guys at the track...

infiniti/nissan has made great improvements on the trannies on both models though. kudos to them.

I am thinking that where you will see the biggest different is up top. I bet the 6MT will reach 150 a few seconds faster.
I think the 6MT has a tenth of a second advantage 0-60 especially if it can maintain traction because you can drop the clutch higher than the 5AT torque converter can stall. I don't like the Bridgestones that much. They are great for a quieter ride but the Michelin Pilots on my G35 coupe were a little stickier. I bet with the Michs the cars could improve the 60 foot times for sure.
