If we're talking curves then absolutely.

If we're talking just straight line, then "dust" is probably too strong of an assessment.

IS 350 will win to 60 from a dig (.3 s)
370z will win the quarter mile (.07 s)
370z will win to 100 MPH from a dig and will win a 60-100 roll (and probably other rolls as well) by a lot (~1s)

overall there's no denying that the 370z is fast as hell, I will admit that wholeheartedly. It will destroy the 350 if you put in corners.

even in a straight line, the 370z wins "soundly" (I'd say) but it's not some ungodly holy **** *** rapeage or anything.


If you compare the IS 350 with its true infiniti competitor (G37), IS 350 wins from a dig to 60. from a dig to 100 it's dead even. IS 350 wins in the quarter mile. G37 will win from 60 to 100, though.


Also I agree with Faymester and Phiber's classifications of the 370z and the IS 350.


IS 350 being a luxury car with a "hint of sport" is a perfect assessment in my opinion.

370z is certainly more of a "sporty" car than the IS 350, but not quite in the full fledged "sports car" classification. It's pretty close, though.

Everything is on a spectrum. I guess at the end of the day, where we draw the lines is arbitrary.

370z was made for modification and track performance. And if you compare the price difference you'll know why.
