Pretty much what was said above.

But this really only applies in a straight up drag race. Throw a few curves in there and the older car will suffer very badly. Unless it has suspension upgrades.

Older cars sit higher, are more top heavy, and the suspension is looser so when you hit bumps, curves it will effect your steering.

But then again, if you get an inexperienced driver in the GTO and someone who knows what they are doing in the G35 a lot of things can happen. For example if the G35 has more gears than the GTO that will be in favor of the G35 because it will allow the driver to keep the engine in its power band.

And for racing, please do it on a strip with proper safety gear. When I first got my license I thought I could race anyone in my Cougar and get away with it, was almost in two wrecks. Going 110 down a straight away and hit a bump, it threw the front of the car up in the air and jerked the steering wheel out of my hands. And later I almost slid into a train trying to stop from racing down the same straight.

Good luck on getting a Judge, very cool cars. And remember, when you hit the stip pull the Air-Ram handle under the dash for a few more horses.

agreed, plus newer cars are lighter and are a little better suspension wise so they would have the advantage cornering and such, but I think he was just talking a straight-away... but you brought up good points

and with the street racing? yea like I mentioned before wasnt the smartest thing I've done (seen too many accidents)... just be safe mate =)
