David Bernat Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I bought a 2005 LGT LTD with the short-throw shifter. Since buying it I: 1) Switched tires to Goodyear F1 GS/D3 2) Installed an after-market anti sway bar 3) Installed better rotors 4) Installed better struts My question is this: how would you expect this car to perform on a track versus either the 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe or the 2006 BMW 330i?

Brady Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 ARE YOU JOKING? oops, sorry. Caps lock was on. but seriously, are you joking? why don't you just go to the track and find out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnoldscu Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 pretty sure you'd hose the bmw... maybe the g35 would give you a run for your money? I had a friendly bout on the freeway with an 05 (i think) g35 when I was stage 1 and I pulled with people in the car, but stock to stock should be pretty close would be my guess...

Brady Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Not really ... it's been too hot to do anything and I haven't been able to get hold of dad all day ... so no movie for me tonight. Now, do you really have nothing better to do than ask a bunch of people if they THINK you might be able to beat 2 mildly similar cars that cost a lot more in a hypothetical track environment so you can talk a big game at the water cooler tomorrow against the guys in the office with said cars, and when they claim their cars are faster, you can say "nuh-uh ... my friends on the internet said I could beat you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I like how you where not a total asshole and still managed to belittle David Bernat. I don't think his question was a bad question though. Unfortunatelly I do not know much about the G35 or the 330i. I do know I would not trade my LGT for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc 540i Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 What are you talking about? Don't you have anything better to do than sit around trying to make fun of people? Seriously..... It's a car forum not a grammar contest, I think we all knew he meant anti-sway bar, but whatever gets you through the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Well, actually, it would be a case of spelling, not grammar, but who's counting? And seriously, is it such a big deal to get so bent out of shape over it? After all ... it's just a car forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew.anderson Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 David, I still can't answer your questions but have one for you. What sway bars did you install and are you happy with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Thank you! http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13675 And for the record, it was a really stupid question, his title was all in caps, he listed his "mods" in the most asinine and vague possible way, and it's still magazine racing at best, but it's not even that ... it's speculation racing. This is the dork in high-school who would hypothesize who would win in a fight ... Batman or Spider man, but Batman can have fireballs from his fingers and Spiderman can have laser eyes. I mean, really, with the information given, is there any possible way to give an answer that would be even REMOTELY close to being objective? Hell, with the information given, I couldn't even tell if it is significantly better than stock, if at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magowin Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Did you used to live in Bridgewater NJ? I grew up around the block from a David Bernat. Just wondering and if so how is your brother Ryan doing if your him. I bought a 2005 LGT LTD with the short-throw shifter. Since buying it I: 1) Switched tires to Goodyear F1 GS/D3 2) Installed an after-market anti sway bar 3) Installed better rotors 4) Installed better struts My question is this: how would you expect this car to perform on a track versus either the 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe or the 2006 BMW 330i?

wayne53 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 The g35 feels faster, but I think the lgt is faster. I think the time was ~14.9 @ 94.x http://www.filefarmer.com/wayne53/tehgarage1.JPG -Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyMtnGT Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Up here in the thin air of Colorado, those two cars would be toast, as long as the drivers were evenly matched....

QTwo Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Wayne53, Curious about the floor in your garage. Is that tile for the check pattern? Did you place the mat over the top or is it part of the pattern? I have been trying to come up with a way to improve the appearance of my floor. The first try with a floor stain but it didn't work well at all. Looked good for about 2 months and then went downhill quickly. Tough in the northeast because of snow and salt.

phuzaxeman Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 g35 is a little slower than the 350z. you should take the bmw and g35 but it will be a little close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 ...only on the outside. Touchee! But at least the G35 interior is better than the Z ... I can't believe Nissan hasn't figured out that a better interior won't cost them much extra and will greatly improve their entire model line. Now, not to say that Subaru is top-notch, but they're at least figuring out that better interior materials are going a LONG way to improving people's perceptions of brand quality. The cars are SO much nicer on the interior than they were 5-6 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
