well i pulled up and im like damn thats a nice g...got out looked at it a bit, had all these stickers what not, VRT symbol, im like damn nice.....take a look inside and....its AUTO AHAHHAHAAH!

 

i dont understand why anyone would do all this and have it be auto?? no fun, still nice, nonetheless

 

Autos can have their advantages especially drag racing. At the same time, a misshift with a FI car and ur motor may go BOOM!

But I don't drag race. Heel-n-Toe ftw.

 

off topic, but relating to post #2.. how come if u miss shift on an FI car, you can blow ur engine.. but if u miss shift on a factory turbocharged car (ex: 3000gt vr4, jetta, etc) ull be fine?

 

bet he can beat the **** out of you and your popcharger...

those stickers gotta be 12 whp alone

 

that guy is on g35driver. his name is balla. hes got turbonetics i think. where do you guys go to school?

 

Yah, I'm putting my money on the auto G against the dude and his 6MT w/Popcharger.

 

yea his car is nice, i think having m/t would be a lot more fun though, ahah

 

i saw his car on g35 driver, it became car of the month or something, so far his engine mods are, intake, exhaust/muffler. i wanna race!! ahhaha

 

OEM turbo motors are designed with greater tolerances for higher cylinder pressures (oftentimes iron blocks with FI rods, pistons, retainers, bearings, etc) and run at much lower boost and compression...overengineered for worst case scenarios. But I don't think there are any guarantees...you misshift and hang out at 9k rpm for an extended period of time when factory redline is 6500 rpm on a stock turbo car and something's gonna give (even with stock N/A motors).

Frequently, someone who is going for aftermarket turbo is also hoping to maximize the performance gains meaning that they're going beyond the engineering intentions of that motor. I think that's why the high hp FI Z owners are spending a considerable amount of money to build the blocks to handle the boost and this isn't even for misshift protection.

 

^yeah what he said

 

umm i am not sure if you read what i wrote but he does have turbo... he would spank you unless youre force fed also...

 

auto is not necessarily a bad thing. i wouldnt want one but just because it is an auto dosent mean it is slow

 

So, all of a sudden people arn't allowed to mod autos? Wow, what a world we live in.

 

It's a new policy that started on May 17, 2005, you may not have heard of it.

 

no, go on g35 driver and read his car of the month thing, it says future plans: greddy TT, but it says right now he has exhaust, muffler, and AEM intake..

so no

 

That's each, pal!

 

i saw this car at H.I.N in L.A i think

 

Okay...really rice to put stickers on your car just for the sake of putting stickers on. You've got to at least have what's there, and even then, I'm not a fan.

 

If you miss shift into the wrong gear it's bad...and bad with both NA or FI. Mis shifting and not getting into a gear, there's no real danger.
