Callmedoc on the Car Lounge forums posted this interesting tidbit from a Japanese publication. Apparently they took a sports sedan from three major marques - the Acura TL-S, G35 sedan (the new one), and an IS350, shipped them overseas to WSIR (Willow Springs International Raceway). and put them in the capable hands of the Drift King himself - Keiichi Tsuchiya.
If your first assumption involved the IS or the G35 duking it out for first place, you'd be wrong. Dead wrong. The TL, being FWD and having the lowest output of the three, came in nearly *2* seconds faster - quite a margin.
For fun, they also threw in an RDX, which lagged a good five-six seconds behind the pack - which isn't surprising from a cute-ute with a turbo 4.

Makes me wonder if they were driven with drift style - when you are going sideways, you are not going forward.
