ok... I'm a bit ticked about something....

I have a Touring Auto (if you wanna bash me on this you're wasting your time)

I have never got a 0-60 time better than 6.4 sec.

I launch by torque braking at about 2,000 rpm and then releasing brake and fully engaging the throttle. I the car jumps forward on the initial launch well, but about 15 feet into it the power seems to drop and then finally comes back once the revs are up to about 3,500 rpm.

This can't be right..... I've ridden in a manual tranny Z and the manual put the power to the road from the beginning... no bogging down.

can someone explain?

 

the G35s people wouldn't slam down on the gas to get the best times. Probably just a combination of the drive-by-wire and TCS working together. Try smoothly engaging the gas but aggressive with it.

 

I have an auto. I've never timed myself other than the car computer so it's probably not that accurate, but I get definately better than 6.4, more like 5.6-5.8. I just floor it and shift in manual mode at 6300, I make 60 in 2nd. As you can imagine, it's hard to drive, time, and shift ... and lookout for smokey

 

I have an auto touring too. Have you tried flooring the throttle while holding hard on the brake? I found the computer limits the revs to 2000+ ( can't remember exactly what RPM). When releasing the brake, the revs shoot up. No bogging. Well at least for me. Make sure TCS is off first though.
