Could this be real??? An Accord???
I knew what I was getting into when I bought the G.
It's about on par (speed wise) with a newer average family sedan. But man.. does it ever look sexy.
If I wanted a fast car, I could have bought a $3000 Civic and boosted it.

I personally don't think you guys are. You guys just tell it like it is, with your own flavor. Keeps me very entertained. 
Look at the numbers and it's easy to see how this happened.
People think the G is supposed to be some supercar or something because it LOOKS sporty.
In truth, it's a lard-a$$ed car with average power by today's standards..
My G (an 05) has 280/280. An 2011 Accord is 274/254 (and gets 20/30 MPG). Accord responds reasonably well to mods. The G is a turd for bolt-ons. If the Accord gets the jump, see ya..

and a better question is, if a G rolls down a road with an accord next to it, which one do u think people will look at?
G's and Z's of similar years perform closely in a straight line. But, stock for stock, any Z will out handle a G.

I'm starting to like the G's more and more lately. And I needed a nice, clean, and cheap daily driver so I'm picking up an older G tomorrow. Now I've driven MANY G's(auto's and 6mt's) newer and older ones and honestly they are a horrible drive. (keep in mind my last three cars were a 375awhp Evo X for 2.5 years, a stock S2000 for .5 years. And a 475awhp Evo 8 3+ years..) so I might be a little bias.. But I'm not buying a G for it's heavy and lazy steering/handling(not just compared to the super fast steering rack/handling of the Evo. But the G really feels heavy and lazy... Or its engine that really doesnt make much torque down low, and feels lackluster up top..
Or it's shaky shifter..(not sure why on the 6mt's I can always feel how the engine/drivetrain seem unbalanced and transmit their vibrations to the shifter...)
I'm buying a G because
A. It's the cheapest sexy car(paying $11k for a very nice clean G)
B. It's a Nissan so it's "fairly" reliable(minus electrical issues, window/seat motors, and trans issues) well... the main components are reliable.
C even tho the car is cheap, everyone else thinks it's a $30k+ dollar car.. Which I couldn't always say with my actual $30k+ Evo X
D it's still RWD and 6-speed so it still provides fun and a proper driving experience
But the main reason is it leaves me with enough money to start building my EVO track/weekend car(2.4ltr long rod high revving 4cylinder with an FP black turbo and E85. Reliable built engine and 650+awhp. All day everyday.)
So my new G with some soon to be released 19x11r and 19x9.5f linea corse lc818 rims and a little sound system with a custom made in dash iPad 2 controlling it.. Lol(that's the plan anyhow) should be a nice, reliable, sexy daily driver.
So who cares if a Honda accord could beat a G.. It's not like Honda has ANYthing to brag about with their unattractiveness and their exciting FWD...

Yeah... I didn't buy this car for the speed or even handling.... If I wanted a fast track car I would have bought a STI like all my other friends have......
But even then... G35 should be faster than Accord... Not just on the strip but auto-x as well.

I had a bit older of an accord...it was an 02 I think and a V6....didnt like it at all I think i sold it after 6 months...very boring...not even good looking,....The G I have now is better in every single way over that accord...I would never buy an accord again.
