Acura CL-S FWD
The CLS is the best FWD car I've ever driven but once again, un going to RWD again.

just had to register to post this, but did anybody happen to notice in that 0-60run did you ever notice that when she runs 0-40mph(or like 38) it's 2seconds into it, then all of a sudden she lets off the gas- hence the drop in the speedo?
Didn't think so
...and if you don't believe me, watch it again. at 40sec. she starts the run, then at 42sec she's just below 40 and all of a sudden the speedo drops and she stops accelerating from about 43-45seconds or so. So yea, when we stop accelerating even a mclaren f1 can do 0-60 in 10seconds

zapata with fair weather conditions and if you owned both the cl-s 6 speed and g35 coupe 6 speed, you will start to fall in love with the RWD aspect!!!!!
after getting out of a Z and back into my cl-s it does not feel right at all
the more i drive both cars the more i understand how bad the cl-s handles in comparision to fwd and rwd sidemarker

How can you lame guys on here even compare a CL or CL-S (Sh*t) to a G35 coupe. How can you guys rant and rave about a type of car that my mom wouldn't even drive. I know because I attempted to buy her one, but she would rather have a Lexus. More of a true luxury car. Acura has always been known for "Best Bang for da Buck", but its been called BORING waaaaaaaaaaay to often. CL is one of those weird 'in between cars'. Its not really super luxurious, but then its not really super sporty either. The CL seems to have an identity crisis like a hermaphrodite. CL is a nice ride, but its just too straight up boring. Please stop hatin' on the coupe, we'll just blow by you and brush you haters off like a piece of dandruff.

This thread has gotten rediculous. Judging acceleration by looking at a speedomoter/tach without knowing what input the driver is giving to the car at the pedal/brake is simply retarded. Do some research (dyno charts, time slips, etc) and deal with facts. You will find your answers there, not with stupid little mpeg movies.

I test drove the G35.
BMW Beater is is not.
Probably the ugliest LED's from the rear.
Your interior is like a Monogram model kit gone bad.
Your navi toggle is about as accurate as an Atari joystick.
Where the fuck is the memory seats?
Your engine is fun and it pulls hard, but not from a standing start it felt muddy until 20MPH. The stick version of the car is alot of fun.
Your brakes are too sensative, that opinion I've shared w/ more than one person.

Where the fuck is the memory seats?- I know

This has to be one of the dumbest things I've read....he compares one car's crank horsepower to another car's wheel horsepower....(unless an intake gives the G35 an additional 75hp...now that would be sweet!
I admit that some of the posts here are childish but its funny reading the G35 forum and they sound exactly the same but with a different car.
I agree with zeroday. I love cars and these "my car is better than yours" debates are pretty petty.

lol. you like your car, that's great, i like mine, i'm not here to put anybodys down.
but i'm not going to just sit by as everybody gangs up on it for doing a 0-60 run in 8seconds, esp. when she lets off the gas pedal for 3seconds

wow, the comeback wasn't much better either...
I will admit that the 8 second 0-60 posts were pretty bad. There is no doubt that the G35 is a low 6 second 0-60 car.

Didn't think so
...and if you don't believe me, watch it again. at 40sec. she starts the run, then at 42sec she's just below 40 and all of a sudden the speedo drops and she stops accelerating from about 43-45seconds or so. So yea, when we stop accelerating even a mclaren f1 can do 0-60 in 10seconds
just had to register to post this, but did anybody happen to notice in that 0-60run did you ever notice that when she runs 0-40mph(or like 38) it's 2seconds into it, then all of a sudden she lets off the gas- hence the drop in the speedo?

Now for track racing RWD is essential, don't get me wrong but for on the street and day to day use.....I'm sitting pretty.

they must have been comparing the cl-s to a 7 series.
no way in hell a cl-s can handle better then a 3, 5, or z series!
