Not sure, since the IS is better IMO and R&T feels the same.

How about a IS-F or LS competitor?

How will the weight of the G37 compare to the IS350?

Edit I found my answer.

G37 curb weight is 3616lbs vs 3527 for the IS350. 89lb difference.

I'm going to say this will be a very close race in the 1/4. Curious to see what kind of performance tuning can be had with the G37. I know the IS350 pretty much sucks for trying to squeeze more power out of it.

Now I wonder how bad the G37 will leave the IS350..

I can see the Infiniti fans now RAVING about all their ricer flybys past the IS.

However the G37 is a nice looking ride and Infinti does have some sexy wheels for their cars. Will be an awesome value.

Cars are getting so fat. Pretty soon we're going to have 4,000lb Corollas! I wish the IS350 was somewhere around 3200lbs, all this stuff about 3,500 or 3,700lbs...I mean $ hit! Are they filling the doors with cement?

it seems like the difference between the is350 and earlier g35 is about the same as the difference between the g37 and is350...

^^ IMO that thing is in desperate need of a spoiler or something to balance out that rear end.

This thread has caused me to change plans. I'm going for the G37 now instead of waiting....if I can get my hands on one and if the early prices aren't so rediculous I'll want to shoot someone.
