Weight difference between the G37 vs G35 sedan
It seems as though every time they bring a new car out they improve on everything and at the same time add on weight which kind of ruins the point of making a new model only marginally more powerful. The 1st generation 6MT G sedan has a curb weight of 3,398 lbs and the G37 sedan is 3,615 lbs which is high but still a lot better than other cars in it's class like the Pontiac G8 which has a curb weight of 3946 lbs. I always liked a featherweight car.
My question is how many of you would trade in your 03-06 sedan for a G37 sedan? I guess the interior on the G37 makes it all worth the extra weight to most people since that interior to me is up to par with a 7 series. I would be just as happy with the interior from the 05-06 in my 04.

The G37 is simply a better car. The 07-08 G35 sedans are really nice, but the 09 G37 sedan is a big step ahead in terms of acceleration. It would take about $4K worth of mods and lots of drivability compromise to get a first G to hang with the G37 sedan. I think you weights might be off a bit though because those look like the curb weights for the 07-08 G35, not the G37. The G37 is in the 3,750lb range. The X models are coming close to pushing 3,900lbs.
Now a VQ37HR in the 350lb+ lighter 1st gen? Wow! That would be fun.

I really don't like the 07+ body style that much - too curvy, and the interior is even worse - the high dashboard with the lcd screen and the controls that point up at the ceiling make it feel like a minivan on the inside. I drove an 07 loaner for a couple days and it felt bigger and less sporty than the earlier cars.

Its funny, because i drift from the 2nd gen area to the first gen. And in the first gen they call new cars ugly, less sporty ect, and in the 2nd gen they call the first gen cheap, and less aggressive and IMO get a bit snooty.
I enjoy both. They are both good cars. But right now, you can get an 05 sedan in the teens with not many miles. Vs a 40k G37. With 20K+ in mods to an 05 Sedan, you will leave the G37 so far behind you wont even see it..
