g35 vs s2000 compare

[DirtyMechanic]

i would like to see a stock G35 v a stock S2k from a 50 kick

Thing is you have to consider your driving style, look at what it took for the S2K to run like that, you'd have to wring out the S2K. In my daily commute I just punch it a and the torque puts a smile on my face and I'm nowhere near redline.

yes i love the low end tq. well most of america does. thats why people like the G35s so much. i usually drive around town from 1700rpm to about 2200rpm. and never have a problem keeping up in traffic at a light.

That's 04 6spd G35 Coupe. Which has non rev up motor.

Which has 3.5 L 190 kW (280 hp) V6.

Put the rev up 6spd against the stock s2k. With no camera man in the G.

Which has 3.5 L 222 kW (298 hp) V6

those rev-ups have 10 less tq factory rating. and after driving both DE and Rev-Ups for a living. the Rev-Ups feels much slower with that less tq.

i've always considered the s2k v g35 stockers to be a close race. But, we were talking about a race not cruising from 50. The revup motor was a good addition to the platform and made the car a good bit better.
that is also why i said the g35 would be a better choice for a DD. less throttle for suberban driving. its also why i tell people that are looking at s2k's and want a city car to get an AP2 because they have that extra torque for suburban driving.

g actually wins stock v stock.. i've done a 60 roll in my s2k (ap1) vs a g on 316 heading out to athens.... we ran 3 times... he won by a car the first run, half a car the second and the 3rd was on a slight downhill and he lost by half a car. honestly i/e and a tune will change the tide for the s2k though.

yes i know after playing with friends that have stock or mostly stock S2Ks i would have to agree stock for stock it would probably come down to driver. and if either one had more mods over the other. that one would probably some out ahead. but not by much. then again even if that. still might come down to driver then.
