Peformance-wise the TL Type-S actually handles and grips better than a G. I find the damping rates on the G a little uncontrolled on the Journey but it's tolerable for a street car. I would have gotten the sport but I hate the seats in that car. too bad.
as a former 04 tl sixspd with 18"s owner and a new G35s sixspd owner i cannot see how the 07 tl type s can out handle the infiniti,, the torque steer in the acura alone almost sent me into oncoming traffic more than once, just not holding on to the wheel and a little to much peddal, is very dangerous, not that i did not love my acura, i almost cried as they drove it away!!
im looking forward to my first runin with a new tl type s, i bet all they see is my taillights!!!

Finally got PICS!!!

This is after the first wash after my application of the paint protection that I use (fireglaze).

Might start Zaino-ing it too to get even more luster. We'll see...

hey thanks

yeah it's a paint sealant/polish yada yada. it's nice but not as shiny as zaino or the likes. i like it because it's an easy one-time application and it's cheap. i got it from sparkleauto.com

nice thing is, i just wash the car and occasionally wet wax it. i don't have time to spend all day buffing the car and dont really want to. i want my car to look "good" not "show car". weekends are for fun in the sun, not scrub in the sun!
