Is it just me?

Is it just me or does the 07-08 Sedans feel like they are faster than an 06 MT?

I've had my car in the dealership twice now (one for CAI, second for tint) and both times they gave me an 07 or 08 Sedan. Both seem like the throttle is way more sensitive and throw you back in your seat more than my 06 MT and more than the 07 MT that I test drove. Maybe it's the two TBs, maybe my butt dyno is broken. I don't know neither were AWD.

Times for both the G37 and new G35 sedan have 0-60 times ranging from about 5.2 sec to 5.4 sec depending on the publication.

Quarter mile times range from 13.8-14.0. Both cars trap at pretty much the same speed (can't remember that speed off the top of my head though).

Which leaves the question, where's the '06 coupe 6mt fall? I've heard 298bhp and 5.4/14.2 but I'm not sure how real world that is.
