The Useless East Canada thread!

I picked up a tonne of stuff for the accent at CT on your guys' advice. When people come to my place we can instal all of it. Lots of chrome and CF trim since they compliment each other so well. I got some sweet red raciung seats. They look just like Brides! And I got a steering wheel cover. Some NOS stickers. Some 13 inch chrome spinner wheel covers. It's gonna be tight.

Okay, found official weights and stats.
2005 Anny Ed 350Z = 3225 -> 10.75 lb/hp
2005 6MT G35C = 3512 -> 11.7 lb/hp
Couldn't find an official number for the 05 G, so here's a comparison of 03's
2003 Nissan 350z 5.4 14.1
2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe 5.5 14.2
Just to put things more in perspective, here's some more data:
2006 Honda S2000 5.5 14.0 (C&D May '06)
2006 S2000 - 2855lbs - 12.04 lbs/hp
So why did I bring the S2000 into this? Because it has a worse lb/hp than the G, godawful lb/lb-ft-tq, yet runs a better 1/4 mile than the 350Z. So power to weight only gives you part of the equation. Aerodynamics and off the line traction makes up a large portion as well. The G35C has a CofD of 0.27 to the 350Z's 0.29. The slightly longer moment arm gained from having a longer wheelbase would cause more weight transfer to the rears under launch, and in theory should give an ever so slightly better launch.
My point? A contest of speed between a 350Z and a G35C is damn near 100% driver skill.

Pulled from the drag racing forum..
100% stock and the time was confirmed..
Veetec --------------------------04 Base 6spd 13.640@102.42mph 1.983 60ft
^do you have any way of finding out if a g35 has run anything close to that bone stock?
I know that the driver issue will come up, but I am just curious as to what they can run bone stock.
I noticed that you compared the 35th to the g35c.. The 35th is probably the heaviest of all models (for that model year), so I am wondering if you compared the heaviest of G models..
