Head to head in what?

Straight line acceleration or handling?

Of th cars you mentioned, we will smoke a Crossfire's pants off, unless it is one of the new SRT-6 models. A regular WRX is not as fast as our cars(except for the hole shot) in a straight line, but WRX's can handle real well..particularly at autocross type racing. A WRX STI will smoke us in a straight line, but we'd probably beat him in the twisties(unless he does suspension upgrades). We would kill a Grand Prix GTP in all categories. Supposedly the G35 pulls more lateral G's than the Z does, but the Z is lighter and just slightly faster in a straight line. I think on a track(despite the slight G-force advantage in favor of the G35), the Z would still pull better times.

Buick Regal??? Are you serious??

The mazda RX-8 is a close performance competitor to the G35(for the price), although we are faster...they handle better.

The closest competitor for the G35 overall is probably the BMW 330 and Acura TL. The G35 is faster than both, but those 2 cars overall are good market competitors for the G in terms of the whole car package(performance, price, options, etc).
