G37's are slower than the G35, although it has more power its also heavier, compensating for the added power. its actually kinda funny when u think about it. what were the engineers at nissan thinking??

I just evaluated a 09 Infinity G37SPORT sedan,328 HP.It rode ok and handled BETTER THAN THE 06 IS350 with sport handling package I HAD. I have a sport handling package 09 IS350 on order.Seats are better in the G37 but the engine seems lazy compared to the lexus and just does not turn on like the IS350 engine, plus it does not sound as good as the lexus.I had to go back to the IS350.

Get the F-sport sway bars when your order comes in.

I test drove the G35 vs. IS350 when I was shopping for my car, the G35 handling was slightly tighter, but the sway bars brought the IS I eventually bought (08 with sport package) back on part with it.

One plus I can give the G though, it has a nav system with features from this century, and it's a lot less insanely priced an option too. (Even moreso the radar cruise as far as non-insane pricing vs. Lexus pricing)
