The G35 is a lot faster than my IS250 but I still love it! My IS250 is AWD with navi and about 3 weeks old. I just hit 1500km the other day and it's a really fun car to drive.

By the way, the pictures are taken in Mississauga, Ontario around the heartland area...anyone near?

6.2??? No way! Thought it was more like 5.5 or somthing like that... Maybe that was the manual G35c

ICON,

I figured you bought your car in Missisauga but those buildings look so alike to the ones in Markham, near Leslie and 16th. :P

Manual is around 5.6 or .7 I think. But still, it's quite impressive that the IS350, which is considerably heavier than the G35, can blow it away by that large a margin, especially when you're comparing automatic to manual, and a "difference" of only 8 hp.

Somthings wrong then... Gearing? Lexus under rated our engines? Infiniti Overratted their engine?

Side Topic: Haha I was talking to a co-worker / acquaintance... He has a G35c and I never told him about my purchase of a IS 350 but I brought up the fact that I saw soemone call the G35c a jellybean and basically copy and pasted that sentence for him to read LOL and he was like Noooo its not a jellybean. and was then started attacking the IS! Said there arnt that many on the road cuz it sucks... an upscale corolla. LOL I didnt attack his car back... I just said "haha" so sad.. why the hate towards the IS? I like his G... Now I cant tell him I have a IS.

The curb weights as quoted by the mfg. specs. show that the IS350 curb weight is 3527 and the G35 6MT coupe is 3524 so there is no measurable weight difference. The G35 coupe with the manual transmission consistantly has tested at 5.2 to 5.4 sec to 60. The surprising thing is that the IS 350 is at least as fast with an automatic. The 5 speed auto (along with slightly different engine tune) is about a full second slower than the 6MT. The word for the 2007 G35 is slightly over 300 hp with the auto and around 320 with the 6MT. My guess is that for the 2007 model, the G35 6MT will be slightly faster than the IS350 and with the automatic it will be slightly slower.
