Anyway, I'm just trying to give a perspective, I knew full well what the IS350 and the 335i offered and I LOVE my G35. but if you're going to get into numbers and speeds and what not, the G35 is not the runaway victor and its not that fast.

The 07 G35 sedan is fast, as are the IS350 & 335i....leave it there.

IS350 isn't really much quicker than the G, and the fact that it has a little more torque does not warrant the price difference between the fully loaded G and fully loaded IS350.

Ah where to start, I'm not a fanboy by any means, but you can't just look at a car and go " well one makes the much HP and Tq so it mus tbe faster" it doesn't work that way. Peak Power is now all that matters, take into account what the engine in making most of the time.

I'm not quite ready for a new car but I hope a newer bigger engine see's it way into the new G when I'm ready.

For me I bought a sedan not a sports car. I think the numbers are great for the market the G is in. The 335 maybe faster but again more money so bang for the buck the G wins. Also to me the 335 was just to sterile. If I wanted to beat the 335 I'll take the G and add a super charger, turbo etc.
I would also buy the coupe not the sedan. I'm very impressed with the new G's performace and handling which meets all my needs and then some.

My Bro's getting the new Xede inline computer for his 335i and someone with an auto posted 330hp/378tq with the same upgrade. The big kick in the @ss is that the tuning tends to add 1-2 mpg to the fuel economy wich is already better than G.
