Infinity G37

 

i love my 3G type-S for these reasons:

1. 6MT
2. semi-luxury 4-door sedan
3. excellent handling for FWD
4. fast at highway speeds
5. no governor

honestly i would not buy something else in the same league, as the only complaint i have is FWD. can't see myself buying a BMW (not my style), an Infiniti (they're everywhere) or a Lexus (uninspiring), even if they had MTs.

so that leaves the Audi S4/S6 (or RS4), if they ever bring it back here), and the Cadillac CTS-V, but both of those are a lot pricier. i'd love to see Caddy come out with an ATS-V, that might hit the sweet spot, if there's an MT, no governor, and ~5 second 0-60 time.

otherwise, i'm sticking with the type-S until it falls apart

Have had an 01 TL, 05 TL, 08 type s now and an MDX now...looked into & drove an 09 Lexus GS 450h last week and loved it.

 

I had heard only 05s and 06s didn't have governors. I have an 08 type s that shuts off at 135mph...u have no governor on an 07?

 

 

i have an 08 type-S MT, no governor. i believe the MTs don't have one, but the ATs do. had mine up to 141mph, no shut-off. supposedly it will get up to 153 or something like that before drag limiting.

 

I need to get my turned off. I have an AT so that's probably why. When I'm driving "in spirited fashion" I put it in manual mode and can easily hit the 135 in 4th gear. The throttle body spacer really made me feel more open at top speeds. I also have a CAI, UR under drive pulley, ATLP jpipe, ATLP HFC and ATLP quads. ...oh and a roof spooner to help me go even faster! Hahaha JK about the roof spoiler.

Definitely the 2014 Audi RS7.. white!

 

nice mods! LOL yeah the roof spoiler gave me an extra half-second at the drag strip easy

 

That shift to 5th at about 110 is so annoying. Just sits right there at 4K rpm's and won't move. 4th will go all the way up to 135? Did not know that.

 

Personally, I am ready to part ways from the TL for a Toyota Tacoma Crew Cab SR5. Need something more comfortable and sitting higher up from the ground

 

I picked up my '08 TL five days ago. My decision came down to the TL and G37. I picked the TL primarily due to my experience with Hondas. I had a '84 Accord that I killed at 190K. It would have gone further if I had treated it better. I still have my '94 Accord EX. It has 281K on it. So my personal experience with Honda reliability was huge. I also liked the styling of the TL a little more. The interior layout was more to my tastes in the TL also.

The G had the horsepower and all-wheel drive advantage in the X, but I'm not racing this car and I've gotten through over thirty winters in Pittsburgh without all-wheel drive.

The IS350 was smaller and the GS was much more expensive. The other cars in this segment from Audi, BMW and Volvo just had more reliability concerns and higher cost of owner issues.

 

Don't shift. I don't think the mods make a difference to what it revs to but it definitely feels nice in fourth over 100mph. It's like it has way more to go. Be careful and glance down at your RPM in 4th, I guarantee its not that high.

 

toyota avalon, lexus gs

 

i am down with this!

 

E46 M3
03-04 Termi Cobra
07-08 SRT8 Charger
New Model 5.0 Mustang

 

Toyota Supra
Mitsubishi 3000GT
Nissan 240SX

 

For me the choice is simple an F30 bimmer with a F13 bumper.

 

It's interesting to see so many guys saying e46 m3. I just sold my tl and lurking around to figure out what I should do. I've had a 99 si civic, 00 s2000, 03 tl types, 07 BMW 335i, 07 g35s, 01 s2000, 04 tl, now my new official daily 94 corolla! Haha. Tbh I'm looking for another s2000 it was overall the best car. The g35 sedan is a good choice if you get the confused year( g37 sedan body with vq35hr motor) except the mpg. I'm trying to find out what makes the e46 m3 a good choice. There's a few for sale in my area.

 

I love my TLS as it is now
Good handling and speed
though I would switch to the new Genesis coupe V6 track, lots of good reviews on it

 

^^^^the only 3.2 NA six cylinder offer 333 hp, even compare today sport car like 370z, genesis coupe and other sport car none listed above even come close to the level of E46 M3 performance.

 

Prob TL-S 6spd, then evo 10, then r35 then murcialago, then veyron and finally f18-e... ok the first 3 are realistic..

 

335i twin turbo =P

 

Governor is set at 150 mph. And yes you can set cruise at 138 mph.

If I sold my truck and TL I would buy a newer F150 king ranch lariat supercrew.

 

I've been strongly considering getting an S2000...

 

The new 2013 335

 

Kia Optima Hybrid.

 

06 lifted 5.9 cummins, nothing beats the sound of that spooling turbo and black smoke

 

911 gt3

 

Realistically:

Impreza WRX
Accord V6
Genesis Coupe
Used '08 TL-S lol

 

now you've got me curious... i read there wasn't a governor on MTs. now i have to try for 150+ to see if there is

if i'm arrested i'm blaming you LOL

 

My wife drives an 07 TL-S, I've got a Lexus GS AWD. Both cars are great and I don't complain about driving either one. Pros and cons to both of them....

 

3G TL type-S or A-spec with 6MT AWD and the 3.5 VTEC tuned to 300+ hp like the RL... why oh why, acura, didn't you do that???

 

2013 Lexus GS F Sport!! Honda fired their designers and Toyota hired them lol, what a beautiful car! Almost as beautiful as the TL in this price range.

 

If I had the money I'll buy a CTS-V or a AMG C63

 

CTS V Wagon.

 

Audi RS4
BMW 335IS
Lexus IS350
F250 turbo-diesel or a Ford Raptor
Nissan GTR (i wish)
