Other than having the seat frame modified to accommodate my height, I have yet to regret my purchase.

EDIT: Though I purchased it for me, the wife drives it far more than I do despite her initial disappointment with my purchase of it over the G35X, 335i, TL and IS350 I was actively xshopping.

in my defense, the link has the dyno #'s of the MT v. At 08 accord...it shows about a 28hp and 34tq difference in the two.

The only car that has the J35Z3 is the Accord Coupe V6 6MT, since there is no Sedan 6MT this year. It is proven that the Z3 has a better torque curve throughout, and puts down way more power to the wheels.
