There may be many many factors such as gearing tires tranny set up, TC stall speed etc- more than just HP and weight that can make a difference in the performance. C&D is always a bit on the quick side with the acceleration numbers IMO even with the G coupe. No other mags are ever able to match most of their times. The fact of the matter remains however that other car companies are targeting the G35 as the car to beat performancewise.

Some interesting data on the IS350...
Weight 3537 lb
306 hp@ 6400 rpm
277 lb/ft @ 4800 rpm
Compression ratio: 111 (no FI here)
Gearing:
I 3.520
II 2.042
III 1.4
IV 1.00
V .716
VI .586
Final 4.083
This car gearing very aggressively. All I need now is the MPH in each gear to make the assumption that the race is over past 100 mph. Fifth AND sixth gears aren't ideal for triple digit runs in this car. I can see why it got 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds. Any compression past 101 is asking for trouble.

Somebody just found out there's a mistake by Car and Driver, & there's only 74 points for the BMW 330i in "Vehicle", according to the numbers published by them
That would mean 212 points and tied for first position with Lexus.
8+7+3+4+3+7+9+7+9+0+17= 74 ???? not 75
