Those were some fun runs Buddy. Your car is easily the fastest car I have ran against. I think you might have had 3 car lengths on me. The M5 is definitely no slouch either, especially for a 4,200lb 4-door. Good runs, hope the weather stays clear enough to get to the track today.

The G35 is a beast thats for sure. We used to run neck and neck... But he decided to get a "methanol power booster"..
Now im the slow guy out of the pack!!

Just because a car has high hp at the wheels doesn't mean its automatically that fast LOL , gearing, where it makes its power, traction an just way too many factors as you know! G35's simply do not pull hard top end, well at least when I was modifying them and mine back in 03, I gave up because the car was so new and limited, now its a whole diff ball game but I still doubt it has the top end for 180's +, still extremely impressive though so not trying to be a jerk dutchboy, I sill have my G and love it, took my supercharger and eveything off though!
I then bought an m3 in 04, ran against my own g, friends g35 auto sedan with stg 2 stillen and a coupe with vortech, nedless to say my m3 stock was eating them up I was shocked considering these cars had as more power, yours is in a diff universe though.

Forged Performance in Marietta, Georgia. The '07 has the HR motor, which is quite a bit different from the previous years. I don't know of any FI yet available to the public. Shouldn't be long though.

I haven't ran much past 160-170mph, but it gets to those speeds very quickly. I think you're right, it would probably run out of gear shortly after 170. I'd really like to do a run with Buddy starting from 100mph to see the outcome.

Rep Power: 333 +1, I think the Porsche's gearing helps alot.

The ability carry a lower gear makes high revving engines a real threat even if they are giving up power. Think M3, M5, Ferrari, GT3, NSX (in its time) etc...
You can have more power, but if you're pushing a higher gear, you could very conceivably be slower.

Haha basically what I was trying to say, G35's never had that top end power out of the VQ, so put it up to an M3 with identical power output and yea....
