08 acura tls vs G35 vs 350z... who wins?
Just installed HFPC and rv6 j pipe this week and WOW it pulls!! Everything else is stock though.
Me and my friends making a bet who will win off the line or who will pass who by a few car lengths first??
Anyone here raced any Nissan or G's? What are the odds I will win with only the torque and hp of Jpipe and HFPC?
Plz only give me ur opinion if you minimum have these mods

I have a base model TL auto.
Mods are atlp quad exhaust, rv6 j-pipe, rv6 pcd, injen cai, hondata flashpro fully tuned.
I raced my friends completely bone stock 2003 sedan automatic g35 (not the HR motor)
Did maybe 8 runs mixed. Some from a dig, some from 20mph some from 50 mph.
From a dig the g35 took off on the line and kept pulling on me til 80. had 2-3 car lengths by than.
From 20 mph I got the jump every time but the g35 easily started closing in on me at higher speeds (maybe 70 mph or so) we shut it down around 80-90. Sometimes I would win by a car length, other times he would win by the same
Same from 50 mph. I got the jump at first but the g35 easily started catching up and closed distance. also ended about 80-90 mph... Same results. Sometimes it would end with me winning, other times with him by a car length.
G35 completely bone stock is impressive and fast. I'm fully bolted with exhaust and tuned and I still consider it a loss vs a 100% stock g35.
My predictions are
1. 350z (same motor as the g35 depending on year but lighter than the Infiniti by several hundred lbs)
2. g35 (I raced the non HR motor. If it's the 2007+ with the HR motor than it would be even more of a loss)
3. TL-S.
TL-S makes about 230whp stock. both the g35 and 350z make about 260whp stock I think.
TL-S weighs the most out of the bunch I think although not by much.
I raced a friend's bone stock 07 auto TL-S at a stop light. 0-100 mph. I beat him on the launch and stayed ahead all the way to 100. I beat him pretty badly about 3-5 car lengths. I had the same mods but did not have flashpro at the time

It made a difference in throttle response and smoothness throughout the entire Rev range.
It did not make a difference when it comes to making my car feel any faster.
I had full bolt on exhaust and cai for about 2 years so I was really familiar with the feel of the car prior to hondata.
Once I had the car etuned with VitTuned the car drove a lot more smoother however the car did not feel any noticeably faster at wide open throttle.
in my opinion it was a waste of money and time trying to make my base model auto TL a quicker car.
If I had a 6spd than it would be much more worth it.
I am in the process of returning the car back to stock now.
I don't have 0-100 or 60 times. I hardly drive the car fast because it's not even fast lol.
This was my first car and it was a learning experience. I was all into modding it and doing this and that to it. Now after owning it for 4 years I've learned that this platform isn't the best to mod for speed and performance.
The only way I would have learned that was to actually attempt it first for myself, which I did.
I now find myself not caring much for the TL in terms of performance anymore. My next car is going to be a much better car that's for sure.

As of currently I have only HFPC and Jpipe, what would be ur advice if i just spent $$$ on injen cai, xlr8 catback exhaust and A-spec front lip kit ??
Don't need to go all crazy with the mods

It looks like your trying to go for a mix of performance as well as looks. That can get pretty expensive. I know because I did the exact same thing when I first got my TL. Within the first 4 months of ownership I dropped a little over $4,000 for various parts like coils, ASPEC lip kit all around, rear sway bar, jpipe and many other small things that added up...
Prioritize your goals and knock them out in order.
Honestly my next car will not be Acura because I want a car that is performance oriented and acura has nothing to offer with their new lineup. I've got my eyes on Lexus IS-F, RC-F, S4, M3, C63 something of that nature.
I'm leaning towards Lexus. When it comes to Japanese luxury cars I see it as Lexus is #1 Infiniti #2 and Acura dead last. Their technology is dated and interior is ugly. Cars look to bland and plain. Will never own another newer Acura.
When I first owned my car I used to be a acura fanboy but after owning it for 4 years I began to realize how behind the game Acura really is compared to the competition

I'm guessing the G and Z stay relatively even, with the Z pulling ever so slightly ahead (even though I have yet to lose to one myself in the G).
The TL-S on the other hand will be left behind by 2-3 car lengths minimum. Sorry man. But hey, it's all for fun, right?

08 TL type-S
Viet,
I still love my Acura, and am sorry you have lost your love of Acura.
I have the same setup you had, with High Flow cats, and a RV6 version 3 j pipe. The difference is I have a 6 speed TL type S and kept my Type S quad exhaust. My TL-S pulls hard and I would think I could take a g35.
I have considered getting my local import tuning shop to tune my TL for about a year. I went to a mini meet with a dyno night and got my TLS dynode to see it with the HFCs and Jpipe. Best run was 237 HP @ 5850 RPM and Max Torque 238.3 @ 3850 RPM to the wheels.
They just called the other day and asked if I still want a tune. I still have to buy Hondata and then they will tune it. So , it will be over $1000.00 so I am waiting. I had the Hondata Flashpro in my Civic Si , so I am familiar with the feel.
I just don't know if its worth it for the money to go ahead with the tune now. I know the tune will not make my car really much faster, just smoother through the transmission 6 speed.

Unfortunately the auto TL is not too quick, even FBO. If you had a 6mt with bolt on's it would be a totally different story....until the VQ motors started modding.
With bolt ons in my 6mt I would walk/beat g35s, g37s (stock), 350z, etc
