G37S is also 200 lb lighter and rear wheel drive. The TL will lose getting off the line due to AWD and will fail to keep up after that. Even cornering, the near 50/50 (53/47) weight distribution and the 7 speed of the G37S will outmatch the SH-AWD and the 60/40 distribution. Though there are many other factors to account for, I would say the G37S takes it either way.
Then again, you're comparing apples to oranges. The TL is not meant for drag racing and is geared more towards comfort/luxury.

Regardless, G37 IS a powerful car.

But in the 1/4, I would give the edge to the G.

She has an '09 and and you an '06. Not fair. I am waiting for someone who has done a fair race. Like 2011 TL vs 2011 G37.

.3 secs more.
WHile ya'll are heavier than us, we cant even get into the mid 13's.
the 4G is not going to do mid 13's at the quarter

^we're just splitting hairs here.
if both cars are between .3 of each other.
because its safe to say the G37x will still destroy both.
which brings it back to the main point.
its a fair comparison.

The most powerful Acura EVER built!
That's how the 4G TL was introduced!

My friend just picked up his G37xS 2 weeks ago and we were planning to go to Cayuga for the drag race on their drag strip but found out they make you sign an insurance waiver in case someone crashes the car and we both don't think it's a good idea and street racing is never a good idea, so we never really raced.
Here is his G37xS and my TL SH-AWD Tech - Aero Kit

Everyone knows that the 5.2 they got was a big time outlier. Basically they are dumping the clutch and using the AWD to get a good launch. I've driven a G37. I promise that from a roll where you are not considering the advantages of AWD or driver skill that the G37 walks off and hides from a TL.

my comparison with the 3G still holds true.

This is a mere comparison between the cars and nothing remotely close to what I am looking for.

Truth. Especially in the auto.
I took my bone stock 2012 6 speed AWD and ran a 14.3/.4 repeatedly at 97 mph with a 2.1 60'. I actually found that the stickiness of the track combined with the factory rev limiter wouldn't let me get off the line as hard as I wanted to. It would launch and slightly bog every time. If I could have spun it up to 5500-6000rpm and slipped the clutch, my time probably been a few tenths quicker.
I used to have a modded EVO and a 1st gen DSM so AWD launches are nothing new to me.

and exactly about the same times the 3G will do the quarter.

Got spanked by a 3G TL Type S about 6 months ago myself.

With all the 4G hype by Honda people tend to underestimate the 3G 6MT. But in real life the G37xS will whack them both by a comfortable margin

being porky negates all that extra power.
and the nsx is considerably slower than both 3g and 4g

Seriously dude stop being so stuck up and putting the 4th gen on a pedestal The 3rd gen still is the best looking TL to date. The 4th Gen update is much nicer and I own two 4th gens.
But I have had a 2003 CL-S, 2006 TL, 2006 RL, 2007 TL-S, and now the ones in my signature.
And they still can demand 15-24k depending on the model.
