I'm not a fan of rolling races unless both cars are at the same speed intially. Seems like the two cars couldn't line up if their life counted on it.

The G35 is a quick car, and so is the IS350. Those who magazine race will see that whats on paper doesn't necessarily translate into the real world. A fraction of a second difference on the 1/4th miles doesn't translate into 10 car lengths. It's a lot closer than one might think, until you hit below 11s

It is faster, but its not a huge leap faster. When you have two cars that can put down very close numbers, the race will be determined by the drivers.

Guys. I go to the 1/4 and 1/8th mile tracks a lot. I have NEVER been beat by a g35 coupe or sedan. They run mid to low 14's in the 1/4 mile and upper 9 to 10's in the 1/8th. We know our stock is's run mid 13 1/4's and upper 8 1/8ths. g35's are not fast.

That was 2 out of 3

Also, it looks like the guy in the g35 is rolling han solo style where the IS dude obviously has a dude riding shotgun. How much does the driver and passenger of the IS weigh? The g35 driver looks about 170.
