Another New G Owner (coming from a civic)

Hey just wanted to say HI. I am a proud owner of a 2005 IP G35C 6MT. I have been driving the car for about 2 weeks now and love it to death. Took me 2 weeks to break it in. I still have my 1999 White Civic EX with a B18C Type R Engine. I have so much work put into it that I could not give it up. So now I have two white cars. LOL I do a lot of AutoX and can't wait to try the G on the track. It will be a different experience coming from a FWD. Already I can notice a big difference in handling and power. Problem is..... I don't know which car is faster in the 1/4 mile.
Here are the pics:

sorry man, no can do. The car handles like a dream even though it is a FWD car. Spent a lot of time learning how to drive with that suspension that I know how it reacts. It has actually given me some really good times on the AutoX!!

Very nice upgrade

I would also recommend selling the Civic, and upgrading the G.

Eh. I'd say, keep the civic. It's your toy. Sometimes I wish I could have kept my 87 Mustang GT. So which is faster? The G or the Civic?

The thought has crossed my mind a million times but I came to the conclusion that I can use a good daily driver car that saves money on gas and is fast. The car has never done me wrong and I think it still looks good. The civic looks like a toy compared to the G. Plus it is a cheap car to AutoX in. Tires are cheap compared to the G. Dont get me wrong, I can afford to buy new tires but the civic's cheaper.

Actually it is not a GSR engine, it is a JDM Type R engine. And no, I do not think I will be selling it in the near future!
