A few thoughts:
- I'll happily take an even trade in acceleration performance with the outgoing G35 if it comes with a smoother engine, and better brakes.
- A single panic stop does not indicate real brake performance. A single stop on cool brakes is ALWAYS tire, not brake, limited. And extra 3ft on run #1 makes sense with more weight, but I'd bet my house the new sport brakes stop quicker by the 3rd or 4th hard stop when the brakes are hot.
- Hadn't heard about the coupe steering rate going into the sport sedans. That's got me pretty stoked.
- Interesting that they tested a manual but photographed an automatic.
- There is a good picture in the photos that clearly shows the violet "sub-ring" in the gauges is still there.
- Cool that the car pictured is the same color combo I ordered. I was reluctant to get the gray interior with the garnet but I think it looks good in the article.
- The spoiler question continues to infuriate me. I WANT THAT SPOILER IN THE PHOTOS! But I'm scared to order it with the spoiler because other photos I've seen have the old "floating" spoiler that I don't like at all. How to know which one I'd end up with?!?

"The steering is also revised for rear-drive G37 Sports, as they adopt the G37 Sport coupe’s quicker-ratio rack; it’s talkative, lively, and accurate. We greatly prefer this setup to the steering in base and all-wheel-drive cars, which, in addition to being slower, sacrifices some feel"....CAR AND DRIVER
