Please with 13 posts save blanket statements with nothing to back them up.
In this futile magazine race, we have data showing the IS 350 is currently faster than a MANUAL G35.
DEAL with it.
CLearly on the street, its a driver's race. 5.1 and 5.3 are Neck and NECK.

And MPG shows what gem GR engine is, getting a lot better mpg.
it is tough luck that G35 will be faster than IS350, considering that IS is lighter and more powerful...

The MT reported weight is different from what was reported previously. I'd wait until the official specs are out. MT also got the weight wrong for the IS350.
I think the complaints about the IS350's weight (I personally don't have a problem with it, I think it's fine) was based on its weight relative to how small the car is, especially inside. The G35 is substantially larger.

I think that both the G and IS are excellent cars at what they do, but for people that switch i dont think its because one is overall better than the other. I think its because one is better for that particular person's needs than the other. Obviously this could be said even between the g35 and 3 series, where the two cars are similar... but with the IS and G its a lot more pronounced. jmho.

btw, 22,000 posts doesnt make a blanket statement any better.
you have no legitimate claim either-
you cannot compare tests between different cars, on different days under different conditions, with different drivers, to prove which of two cars that have never lined up against each other is faster.

as mentioned earlier, see posts 27 and 24.

You can't pick times from different publications and then choose the fastest ones and pit it against the one and only time we have for the G35.
I think I may be jumping ship over the Infiniti.
The availability of a manual in the 3.5 engine and good initial reviews are swaying me. I just need a test drive now.
Is g35driver the most active forum?

Before saying which car is faster, lets wait for more comparos. They should have included the IS350. I have no idea why they wouldnt...maybe no manual transmission. Im curious to see who wins between the g35 and IS

Not to offend any of you but from reading all this...i am came up with one thing...
WHO CARES?!?!?! ARE YOU REALLY GOIGN TO BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIFFERNECES LIKE .2-.3?!?! in 0-60 time between thes3 3 cars?? Do you think people who are goign to dish out 35K ae really goign to be like..o wow the 0-60 time is .2 faste r than this..etc.... loll probably not. And if they are goign to use that and factor that in, they are a bunch of monkeys imho.
Drive the 330i, G35 and IS350...all three are superb cars. However from my personal experience the 330i clearly handles amazingly well and is the most responsive. But who cares what I like as a performer... buy whichever one is the best performer for you. Dont nitpick one car and say it is faster than this..even if it is fact - so what? Its nimicule enough to where you wont even experience the difference.
lol cheers

even if the G is slower in a line -which is possible, the 2gr-fse is outstanding- the G will feel different. the car is more oriented toward people that want to feel like the mechanics of driving. its not for everyone. likewise the IS is on the other end of the spectrum and is only for people who put a premium on refinement and luxury. both are exceptional at what they do...
anyway yes g35driver is the most active g forum although it may not be the best. freshalloy.com is another good forum but tends to be more mature. it is smaller however and caters to a slightly different crowd.

Comparing G35 and IS350 is a stretch in some ways.
G35 sedan has much more room, has a 6MT option, and the IS350 has the hotter engine and nicer interior. They're pretty different vehicles.
Oh and the 3 series is still the best drive experience but has a crap interior.
So once again we see the performance/luxury trade-off. I'd say it's:
IS350 <--- G35 ---> 3 series
