So I just picked up a new 6 speed G37 sport last week and have been itchin' to get on it and open her up a little bit. I like to take it easy the first few hundred miles other then a short pull here and there to help seal my piston rings, but last night I was driving next to a good friend of mine in his stage 2+ GTI and we decided to play around a little bit. No 'real' race or anything, just a 'put it in 3rd ~ 50 and step down'.
Well, I must say I was pretty impressed with the new G. The VQ37HR motor feels like it has so much more torque down in the lower rpm then my G35 did. A low rpm roll use to be where any GTI (even a stage1) would just have too much punch for me and jump out a good car or 2 before I could even stop their momentum. Well this wasn't the case last night. The GTI did have the initial advantage, but before he could even get out 1/2 a car I had already stopped his momentum, and shortly there after was on my way by him. I didn't shift to 4th, I just let off, so it wasn't a real long run or anything. My 3rd gear goes to about 97-99mph. So from 50-95ish I managed to pull more then a full car from a LOW 3rd gear roll. My boy was like holy shit.
So I was wondering if any of the local stage 2 (or even stage 2+) guys would be down for some fun?? If you are, hit me up!
