Whats up everybody. I know the new es is supposed to be faster but how about against say a 93 es300 with a five speed. I've tested my car numerous times with a g-tech accelerometer and my best 0 to 60 was 7.01 and my worse time was a 7.3 sec. I think it would be a good race what do you guys think?

You'll get smoked....Unless you did mods like mcelligott you have no chance.

EDIT: thought you said racecar
yea with the 7sec it would be an interesting race

just get the G35 coupe...i love that skyline...
6spd, inline 6... and HUGH bembo brake system...

7.01 is pretty quick. I think you can give a new ES330 a good run for the money, maybe beat it.

well todd50, since you advanced your timing, you have a chance.... but a regular manual ES will not win

I think the 5 spd will kick its ***.
As the new ES will still be trying to figure out a gear with its computer controlled throttle and tranny it will be left behind .

I agree! Driving a stick properly will always get the best acceleration out of a car because you can shift it out of each gear where the car develops it's peak HP.

I think the 330 would probably pull on the old 5 speed a little bit. But I know for sure that an 02 es would get walked by any 1st gen ES. The new body style 300 can't get out of its own way lol.

Just set the standard that unless you're mce, the new gen will win =)

I only have 275 miles on the ES 330 but had to get on the throttle a little today to merge on to a freeway with a very short on ramp. The transmission shifts are really "timed" nicely and it pulls quite well in each gear, even though it wasn't floored. My neighbor has a 2003 ES 300 and was telling me his 1999 ES has more power. It may be the difference in the computer controlled shifts rather than a difference in horsepower.

of the previous body style and smoked him by a respectable margin with my ES330 today. We raced on a flat Expressway at a red light in Sacramento, and I'll never do that again as we passed a CHP going the opposite direction. It sounded like the guy did some mods to his car that may have hindered his performance a bit. Now my co-workers 5 Series dusted me until something malfunctioned on his car. Another co-workers G-35 left us both in the dust. Time to fork out some $ to have some serious stickers added to boost another 5hp. hehe!
