car and driver website
found this on the car and driver website yesterday. have not seen it posted anywhere yet. thought some people might be interested.
Infiniti - Car News
What's New for 2009.
July 2008
G37: Last year’s G35 sedan gains 24 horsepower and in the process becomes the G37 sedan, with a 330-hp, 3.7-liter V-6 stuffed underhood (this is the same engine that was introduced last year in the G37 coupe). Sedans with the Sport package get the G37 coupe’s 18-inch wheels and upgraded four-piston calipers with 14-inch rotors. For those forgoing the manual transmission, there’s a new seven-speed automatic that replaces last year’s five-speed slushbox. All-wheel drive is now available in the G37x coupe, and a droptop version of the G37 coupe should debut in February.

The G37S also feels more planted than the G35S when pushing it hard.
In the other hand, the 09 G37 Sedan should be significantly faster than the 09 G37 Coupe.
Makes me wonder if Infiniti will do anything about that. Having their sedan being faster than their "sports coupe" just doesn't do anything good for their target audience on the coupe. I doubt Infiniti will do anything about the weight. But who knows about further tuning.

AAMC, the primary driver for the extra weight in the coupe is additional structure in the doors to make up for their length and the lack of a b-pillar in side impact protection.
