And considering, it might even be lighter in weight than the G35.

G35 is 5.5secs tops

A G35 sedan or coupe is just an ordinary fast car

Vauxhall carlton is a sports sedan designed specifically as a sleeper. It's the kind of vehicle you underestimate because it was made by Vauxhall/Opel but believe me, you don't wanna challenge it grin

the only G35 that is 5.1 is the coupe sport and only the 6speed manual transmission normal RWD or AWD is 5.5 and above.

the VQ35DE is 5.7secs at 280-298hp
the VQ35HR is 5.4 secs 306-325hp

you are using an automatic G35x sedan with 306hp the best you can do is 5.4 which I even doubt because only the coupe and convertible have those times

My Grandma can step on the Gas pedal and if lucky/fast enough cover the 11km third mainland bridge and win the challenge in the right vehicle.

A proper race will test not just speed but concentration, strength, physical fitness, technique fearlessness, ability to read maps and follow signs, discipline, etc....

Want a proper race?

I'm in!But you gotta wait for my E220(2009) cdi to arrive from Berlin.i wanna have a feel of that diesel monster on an empty highway.
My c230 kompressor(2006) sports knocked engine because of the pomposity of one ordinary mechanic on this forum.
Oga, when that diesel engine starts to give you problem ehh.. That car will just be decoration in your compound and no body will agree to buy it even for N100.
The problem is the quality of our diesel. We do not use diesel in Nigeria , rather a mixture of different chemicals of which diesel is 10%. The effect on the common rail fuel system is disastrous.
