Why Does G37 lose so much?

I agree. In the 9 months I've owned my G, I don't think I've ever pulled up next to a stop light next to a car that could/would beat me. If you're going out street racing or at the drag strip, of course you'll find other cars that will beat you. And you would find the same with any car you owned.
I live in a small town and I have people pull up next to me on a daily basis that would dust my G

Not really sure what you're saying, are you saying you've never pulled up to a light and had a Vette or a GTO in the other lane? Or do you mean the cars that pull up next to you aren't interested in seeing who's faster?

Funny enough you mentioned GTO's. A co-worker of mine has a GTO and I smoked him. Not sure if he is a horrible driver or what, but I had him by a full car length by 75mph.

even with tt, there is a video of a tt350z vs a tt37.
the 37 got abused, by alot.
not a 370z a 350z.
my guess is the tt350z has alot more boost than the tt37.
broke my heart to see that.
if the 37 pulled like it does at high rpm down low, ,aybe it would have a chance.

^^ your talking about Alberto's 350z which is in a completly different stage than just a simply TT kit. Completly built motor able to push 605 rwhp at his lowest setting. That 350z is nothing to be messed with.
HOWEVER back on topic. Your got to realize you bought a "luxury" vehicle. Yes its sporty, and yes it has some power but we are dealing with a heavy ****. G37 are not slow by no means but it takes a bit to get that heavy b!tch movin. If your looking for a drag car get yourself a fox body mustang, vette, camaro.

my friend was weary about buying a 350z after seeing my g. i showed him that video of Alberto's 350z and i think it persuaded him haha. all in all the g is a luxury car with a kick. it can be very quick with forced induction, but stock or just with bolt ons just enjoy the ride

I'm sure it's happened, but not that I can think of. Every car that has attempted to race me has failed. I'm not saying I'm the fastest thing out there, it's just rare(for me) to actually be in a situation that I could get beat. I'm actually a little disappointed, I was hoping for more challenges.

Did take a 09 Mustang GT, IS350, all Acuras, and a new Pontiac G8 (but he would have caught up if we kept going).
Obviously any new V8 muscle car will make us look silly such as the new 5.0 412hp Mustang GT, Camaro SS, Challenger RT/SRT. BMWs w/ the twin turbo 6 such as the 335i & 135i will take us, as will the Honda S2000, WRX and Evos.
Always fun to see how we do out there, just be careful when you see what appears to be an IS w/ no badges, could be an IS-F waiting to make you cry

Agreed. Plus, at least at the track by me (Englishtown, NJ) you do not get to pick who you go up against. When I had my Subaru, my first night out I was against a pro-stock Truck, a mid-90's Mustang GT, and a current model Civic Si. Luck of the draw.

^ ^ i come from the acura crew. you'd be surprised how well the tl-s 6mt with a few bolt on holds up. a fully bolted on tl-s 6mt will easily pull away from an is350 @ 100+ simply because the is350s aren't geared well up top. anyways, the tl-s 6mt with a rv6 v3 jpipe hangs VERY well with a g37s 6mt. trust me...
it doesn't surprise me at all.
on a side note: does anyone know how the G37S 6MT would hold up against the 370Z?

Just took a new Genesis coupe at lunch
pretty close but about a car length in the end at 75mph Spped limit was 75 and he turned off so I didn't break any laws
