What do you hate about YOUR G35?
Yes that is what I am saying. Oh and it has 20 years of technology since 1990. But still if you take a 1990 348 GTS and look at the price tag it is going to be around $40,000.00. On top of that you have to pay for the $300 oil change every 2k to 3k, then you also need to have the car re-tuned every 5k to 10k. So yes the G is a fast, luxurious, and handles good. Think of that at 20 years ago for over $100,000.00. now we can pick up a car with the same numbers as a Ferrari. I remember when 0-60 in 5.5 seconds was crazy fast. I guess I am just old or something.
20 years
its not 20 years, g35s came out in late 2002 so thats 12-13 years after 1990.
although honda had a 3.0 DOHC V6 with 270hp back in 1990(which later became a 3.2 making 290hp). the acura legend with the type 2 motor had 230hp so a DOHC 3.5 that makes 260-280hp isn't exactly ground breaking.
on the other hand powerwise it kicked the IS300's *** and the TL/CL is fwd. it was a performance bargain compared to other entry level luxury cars...sort of falls between the 330 and the m3

My G35 is a 2004, so it IS 14 years in my case.
So a new G is fast, luxurious and handles good compared to a 20 year old Ferrari? Technology has come a long way. It's not even the same league. You can pick up the same numbers as a 20 year old car, way to go

Oh and the Acura CL Type-S with the 3.2 liter v-6, 0-60 is 6.8 sec. Then the 3.5 liter TL did 0-60 in 6 seconds. None of these cars hit the marks that the G hit.
It is a fvcking Ferrari, I don't care if it is 28 years old. 0-60 in 5 sec was unheard of back then. In 20 years do you think we will have Ferrari's getting to 60 in 1 second? I doubt it.

I have something to add that I HATE about my G.
I HATE my loose, rocking driver's seat. And my B to B warranty is no longer, so it looks like I am out of luck unless I want to spend like a grand on some new rails.

Comon dude, 0mph to 60mph in 5.1-5.5 sec. That is fast as hell in most standards. Back in 1990 we would own supercars.
The 1990 Ferrari 348 GTS = Zero to sixty was achieved in only 5.5 seconds, with the top sped of 165 mph. This thing had a V8, and it is a Ferrari, the numbers look a lot like the G35 numbers. G35 not fast, ha.

Edmunds tested the G35 coupe auto & got 6.2 & 14.66 .
MotorTrend has it @ 5.8
Car and Driver hast it @ 6.0 & 14.6

My point was it's rediculous to say your car is fast based off comparing to something 20 years old.
20 years from now. I was a huge honda guy back then. I don't think the 3.0 could get the car to 60 in under 6 seconds. Actually in 1990 when they came out with the 3.0 liter v6 it only had 160 hp and 162 ft lbs. the 0-60 time was a little over 9 seconds. There has never been a car that has close to supercar stats for the price you can get a G or Z for. There is just no comparison. I Love my honda's. The engine is put together 100% better than almost any other out there. Hell I had a 86 Honda Accord 2 door hatchback Lx-i model with the 2.0 liter Programmed Fuel injection engine and that baby would fly, I out ran an eighties model BMW M3 in that little accord, on the interstate with speedo buried at 130mph and I was still picking up speed while the M3 was topped out at about 120mph.
Oh and the Acura CL Type-S with the 3.2 liter v-6, 0-60 is 6.8 sec. Then the 3.5 liter TL did 0-60 in 6 seconds. None of these cars hit the marks that the G hit.

if you want to talk auto vs auto
geez you guys are fanboys....i didn't buy my car from straight line speed and I certainly wouldn't buy a TL/CL/Accord for that reason, but the topic of power was being discussed..why you gotta be such a douche about it, sorry for telling the truth about your car
and how exactly is saying that g35 have comparable acceleration to CLs and TL being a honda fanboy, i could say the same thing about maximas and 3.5 altimas being as fast or faster then g35s
