Last night I raced a slightly modded g35 coupe (2004-2006 I'm guessing). It was a very short race and I got a pretty great launch. He barely even got into second and he let off and I'm curious as to whether or not I would've had much of a chance in a longer distance anyways.

Auto g35 go's 0-60 in 6.2

Get myself hurt? I was probably "racing" for an eighth of a mile. I took my foot of the gas at 45 just to see who could accelerate faster. I'm not an idiot, thanks.

Racing on public roads is idiotic no matter what the distance.

But to answer your question, the G35 wouldve caught you after the 45 mph.

+2. I've driven both. G35 definitely feels quicker.

To a certain extent, launches determine who wins. I beat a Lexus IS-F In my 545i because I got a better launch.

Drove my friends once. It definitely did feel quicker but the steering shocked at how horrible it was. I felt like I was driving an 1970 school bus.
