On paper the is350 is making 306hp, the g37 vq37 makes 330
G37 weighs ~ 3600-4100 lbs
Is350 weighs ~ 3400-3500 lbs
(stats based on Wikipedia)
I think your gonna walk him to be honest it might come down to the driver
Here it is from the g37 drivers themselves.

automatic? manual? those kinda make the difference
I hate to say it, love my IS but the g37 gearbox is much more favorable than the IS. so if its both automatic, I would take the G... psych him out and maybe you got a chance. it would be close but i wouldn't put money on it

The is350 should be able to take the G from a dig. Our crazy aggressive first gear, lower weight, and higher torque will get us off the line quicker.
Up top, the gearing on the IS isn't that favorable and the G37 has the extra hp for a better top speed.
In reality, the difference will come down to the driver; the two cars are too similar for a clear cut winner with two non-profession drivers. if you mess up the launch you will lose. If you nail the launch, the g37 has no chance until triple digits.

I have both cars. From a stand still, the automatic Is350 will walk on an automatic G37. The G37 starts off slow due to its weight where the IS350 speeds off right off the bat due to our aggressive gearing and torque. I'm not sure about 80 mph but for sure at 100mph, the G37 will pass the IS350.
Edit: I'm not sure if it is just my experience, but I heard from others too but the G37 gearbox isn't responsive all the time. So if the driver doesn't know how to start the G, he'll find himself pressing hard on the acceleration but will not get any response until a little bit later. My friend's tried out the G37 and agreed that he feels the "unresponsive start"
