raced a twin turbo g35 and a audi s4 last night. They were both putting down over 400whp. im only around 320. we all raced at the same time. went from like a 40 roll up to 130. they were pretty much even with eachother. They pulled me by 2 2.5 cars.

 

that's funny, your power to weight ratio should be a lot better than theres.

 

yeah but at the same time they also have 110+ hp than i do

 

but you weigh like 1k lbs less, how does that happen?

 

i have only seen ONE fast twin turbo 350z/g35 and ive seen alot of them. They are turds.


I remember the thread, where someone asked how much power it would take to be a c6z, and going to Google (your guy's drag strip) it said, with the power to weight, you would need 360hp i believe....i know it wasnt more than that,. so i am giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Now, if a 320 fd got beat by a turd of a g35, just think what a c6z would do!

OH NOES1!1111oneoneoenone1!!! GOOGLE HAS FAILED US!!!1!!1!111 NOOOOOOOOOOO

 

the kid with the g35 said his **** weighed 3500 lbs. my fd, with the sub and amp in the hatch with the spare tire, weighs about 3000.

 

Just like your a professional tuner and builder (taught from the best in the country)?

Instead of using physics and the way the real world works, we should just consult with you because you have seen, built, and tuned everything.

 

damn, with that much power you should be able to beat a saleen s7 stage 3

 

Naaaa... Only an LS1 F-body with a couple of bolt ons could do that. They are touched by god you know.

 

As says google -

Infiniti G35 Coupe RWD V6 3485.5 lbs

that's with no one inside, and no TT kit, which is ******* heavy.

 

lol you just dont get it do you.

 

well maybe there is something wrong with the way my turbo's are working. my primary has seemed a little sluggish. and with the boost turned up, there is not a very smooth transition.

 

?

?????????????

 

exactly.

 

This is from the other thread

The guy who started this thread is stock weight. Again you can not defy physics. If you cant prove your point just like in the other threads then why do you even bother. "you just dont get it" means nothing to me. I get it allright. I just see right through it. I think its the smell

 

doesnt torque have anything to do with racing? most piston engine cars have more than our rotary cars.

 

ls7's dont have that.

 

power to weight really dosint mean that much. look at drag bikes to drag cars.. the cars with the worse powet to weight kill the bikes...

on a side note every 100lbs is 10th of a sec... so if you have the same cars and take 1000lbs out of one of them it will be a sec faster in the 1/4 mile

 

that's funny.. now the power to weight ratio does not matter as much.......

 

I love how many internet mechanics there are out there, sometime I wish the literacy rate in the us was lower than it all ready is.

 

at least you get the props for honesty

 

06 r1 150hp (rear wheel) / 381lbs (dry) = 2.54 pounds per HP..... 1/4 mile 10.50 on a good day

big daddy dwayne gutridges...on DOT drag tire
93 trunk mustang 900hp (rear wheel) / 3000lbs (weight of his class cant be lighter) = 3.333333333 pounds per hp.....1/4 mile time 7.90

where is your power to weight department now

like i said power to weight dosent matter that much.. power to weight is not everything.... yes a lighter car with less HP can beat a heavy car with more power... but its not always the case

that is all i was sayin when i said it didint matter that much...

 

vehicle weight
engine power, and the details of the torque or horsepower curve
coefficient of friction of the tires on the track
aerodynamic drag
moment of inertia and frictional loss of moving parts
drivetrain gearing
shifting mechanisms
location of the vehicle's vertical and horizontal center of gravity
driver skill

All matter

+1 its not just 1 thing out of the list he said

 

no crap it all matters... it's not THAT important according to other people posting on this board. e.g.: https://www.rx7club.com/racing-kills-lounge-10/streetported-s4-na-vs-2000-pontiac-trans-am-629803/
