Dude, you need a reality check. People have been modding GSs for 6-7 years now and the IS 4 solid years now. There are TONS of mods for them. I agree the G35 has mods, but nowhere close yet.
We won't even go into forced induction, where the VQ hasn't a chance against the 2JZ. I've read about those blown 350Zs, the engine needs to be almost totally rebuilt to get over 450hp.
I agree, the IS is now outmatched by the newer offerings but it was the 1st to beat the 3 in comparos and be taken SERIOUSLY as a 3 alternate.
Remember the G20????

Nope, we have many over 400 at the wheels, that is like what 480 or so hp to the crank?

This thread does it!!! TOO many peepz think just cause they own a car with certain brand, they act as if they are "unofficial" spokes person for that company.
everyone take a chill pill.....auto industry is a business, and they will try to sell thier products most profitable as they can....
what this means is.......
ALL CARS WILL HAVE PROBLEMS. if not, the service dept will be out of business
ALL CARS HAVE MINUS AND PLUS. sorry TL_6SPD aka Silvermullet, you POS g35 is not perfect as well as TL and all LEXUS for that matter
Just like someone else said here......keep your focus for other cars that you want to own. FOR ME.....its an M3 baby!! about 3 years....hopefully.....now that's a car!!!
forget all this bickering over what car has mods and which is better at this and that.......car is only a car.
flame suit on...... :thefinger

G-35 drivers
I hate to chime onto this thread, but I could'nt resist. This TL vs. G35 stuff is getting old and will never be solved. I only have one factual observation. Why is it I seem to see mainly older women (and alot of blue haired ones) driving G35's??

Exterior look TL
Interior look TL
Handling G35
Braking G35
Straight away TL (barely)
Navigation system TL (by a long way here)
Resale G35 (too new to tell for TL yet)
SO if you want the best handling and braking car then get a G35. If you want the best accelerating, and best looking car, along with the best technology get a TL.

ACTUALLY ABOVE ALL THINGS, THE REASON I GOT THE TL WAS :
FWD for snow
EXTERIOR LOOK i mean....its subjective, i think its ALOT more agressive than g35.....especially sedan, coupe looks chill~
and of course......4 door sedan that looks awesome and 6mt to power. :toothless
anyone else buy their TL based on the exterior? I mean that is one of the first thing to pass before I check HP, Amenities, options, and cost....I have to like the "look" first.

It has to pass the looks test, HAS TO. In this case, it appeals to so many, the younger crowd, because its aggressive, easy to mod and accessorize, for the business wise because of the style and luxury look.
IMO, the G35 coupe does match up and outperform the TL in many areas...but FOR ME, I WAS NOT LOOKING FOR A COUPE, I was looking for a sedan and when i compared the G35 sedan, the performance didn't make up for the looks that I was more impressed with on the TL.

All we need is a "GTL" Sedan :
1) G35 Engine I had to go with the VQ35 because of lower compression,torque curve and mod availability (Future and Present)
2) (Your Choice) TL 6-speed tranny or G35 Automatic tranny
2) TL Interior with TL NAV
3) TL Exterior overall with g35 front end
4) Your choice AWD or RWD with LSD
5) 35k Price TAG
6) Brembo Brakes
7) Pilot Sports
NOW this would be a car!!! What do you guys think ???

BTW, TL's value rating was Excellent for '03 and 04, all models.
bktabinga: I had a 94 Integra and it was just about the best car I have ever owned. It now has 130K on it and it's still in the family. My mother-in-law drives it a whopping 2 miles a day to and from work. Makes me look forward to the holidays b/c I still have visiting rights with her (the Integra, that is...).
