Car and Driver August 2008
okay, read the article... doesn't say that the 328 out perform's the G. it's one quote from one guy, sayin' the G's not as good as a 328i. so, what? the op is really blowin' this whole thing up. not as good is a totally subjective comment... get over it.

Meh... its C&D. They're the ones who put the M3 over the GTR in a performance-oriented comparison. And the same mag who put the GTR above the GT2, Viper ARC, & Z06 in a performance shoot-out, dispite being the 3rd slowest and being obliterated by the ARC.

In case you guys want to know, the reviewer is talking about the comparison from last year. 328i first place and g35 second place.

I think everyone is reading into the EVO vs. G35 comment too much. I think the writer meant that the G35 is more of an adult car than an EVO..... nothing to do with performance comparisons.
Although, considering that a loaded EVO runs $38k..... and comparing the rest of the car to the G35, I'd want the performance difference between the two to be larger.
