. For the $26k I paid for it (w/Navi), it was a hard deal to pass up....which is why I did not, despite the fact that we are a Nissan household. 
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.

VCM is only on the sedans. Drive a V6 AT coupe, its quite fast.

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.
