most of its competition is around 3,500lbs but you also have to take into considertion most other mfgrs give the weight of a unloaded car as they have all the option packages where acura sells all in one...take that g35 and add all the goodies and its a good 3,800-3,900lbs about 300-400lbs heavier than the tl...but with rwd it helps mask that weight and fwd can create the evil push of understeer with bad suspension tuning...(in fact all new cars sold today all understeer due to various litigation over the years...understeer is the easiest way to control a skid)
Maybe I'm missing something, but the curb weight of the G35 is
Base model (A/T)
3,336 lbs
Leather model (A/T)
3,369 lbs
Leather 6MT model
3,398 lbs
What options are there that would add
402 - 464 or
502 - 564 lbs worth of weight
