What's sad is that the people commenting on that website actually think the G35 won... I believe that's called a "ricer flyby"?

I hate to be an ***- but the footage was way too short, the driver didn't seem to mentally engaged with operating an automobile, and his buddy may have weighed 350 lbs....

too many variables and not enough information to actually say what would win without a true 0-100 lineup....

Pretty much no matter what variables there are, the G35 shouldn't pull away like that at the end. It looks like the IS driver backed off once they hit a certain speed.

Looked like the IS backed off. The G35 driver is very immature, the finger, what is that? instead, give a thumbs up or something.

Those guys in the g35 where idiots.

The IS350 just let off the gas at the end and they got all happy and thought they won cuz of it.

that idiot driver in the g35 looked alot like "Turtle" from the show Entourage. lol. Anyways, it definitely seemed like the Is350 driver shut it down after the cars could pull no more.

Its possible that the G35 would pull on the IS from that kind of roll. The IS has the big advantage from the dig in 1st and 2nd gear. Its funny how the passenger even said "ohh he's pullin".

Roll racing is ****ing retarded if someone plans on using it as an actual comparison between two vehicles... you have to look at all the variables involved.

Track the cars THEN tell me what went down in a controlled environment... and if and when that's done leave the hillbilly out of the video.
