haha well I agree with you, no reason to be mad. We know we've got the upperhand. Plus, its not just about times on the track, we look better and sound better too.

Oh God....don't get me started. I mean, if FWDs were so great, we'd be driving Minis and Audi non-quattros.
Accord, Acura TSX....Altima Coupes, Maximas..........same damn difference.
Give any of the above just under 300 HP @ around 3400-3500 curb weight, a straight line (like ALLLLL of our roads), and experienced drag racer?
I'll take 'em over the cherry-G35 drag racer lacking familiarity with what he/she drives.....possibly all day long.
Until we hit the track. A real track with twisties, not a drag STRIP.
Where the front-driver will ultimately spin out and/or flip - trust me, I've done these things...........enroute getting their butts kicked by our dressed up, gussied up, 350Zs.
As they do almost daily when I encounter them on S. Florida roads. Eat my dust and suck up my fumes, you chumps.
Hell, a frickin Honda S2000 can't even deal with us. And this is just after the same Accords & TSXs get smashed by their little-bitty S2000 relatives.
Now, off to the Honda dealership with EnerOnE to get rid of my crappy G.

OK..........I'll cheer up, dudes & dudettes. 
We cool anynigma, BonB.
And yes, the S2000 is a formidable foe, where I simply base my comments on Road & Track - about 2 years ago - comparing it with the Nismo Z, which has essentially the same performance of the sport-pack Touring Z.
Stock Honda v. Stock Nissan = Honda lost.
I just can't stand these front drive beeches running too much smack.
With their stupid tranverse-mounted engines sitting fore of the front axle - brilliant! - for about 60% in front weight balance, just so we can have nice, light steering under hard acceleration (as we turn a sharp corner)........no worries.
Oh, did I forget the lack of front end dive when braking (which may also include turning the wheel - see above).............thus making FWDs the true driver's car.
Now, I'm off to dust a TSX or 2. Maybe a Mitsubishi Eclipse?
Can't wait.
Thanks, homies! All bitterness aside, y'all cheered me up.
I'm a happy camper.

From driving all generations of accords and g35s I would have to say that in a straight line a stock accord v6 coupe will pull on a stock g35 and a 2011 acc cp. will give a g37s a run for its money. I have never ran them side by side but I can honestly say that a new accord v6 coupe auto or manual feels much quicker than my 04 g with all bolt ons. however, i dont really care as the g is just a big ol luxury coupe that is relatively under powered for its size yet feels more fun to drive due to the rwd and balance.
Why do I drive a g? style, sound, decently quick, and comfy. Why do i drive a boosted 240? fast, can beat on it relientlessly, and if it gets wrecked at the track im 2g and 10hrs from everything swapped into a new shell.

lol the driver of the G… well cant drive. after i had my bone stock 6mt for a month i clocked in a 14.3 (running against a 2008 civic Si with some fart cannon and a driver that was talkin mad s..t, and he ended up running a 15.6), and after having an accord v6 (auto) there is no reason why the g couldnt have taken the win. the accords would be lucky to run a 15 sec 1/4 even with the 6mt.

^ This is why I think Infiniti needs to step up their game and equip the g with the 5.6L from the m56.
When the G was introduced in 2003, it had more power than any econobox from Japan, as well as the Mustang. Now, eight years later, the first gen G doesn't enjoy nearly the horsepower advantage it used to, and the new G37 is going to get it's *** handed to it on the track against the Mustang GT - any track.
I know the G and the Mustang are not equals, but there was a time when the G outperformed the Mustang, while delivering some added luxury.
If we're comparing a 2011 Accord with a 2003 - 2007 G35, we have to realize Honda has had basically eight years to catch up to the G performance wise.
