Best Motoring has an awesome vid in their March 2007 edtion, has anyone seen it? It's extremely thorough and they have a five lap race between the four cars. They start from a roll and the IS350 seems to rocket out of the gate compared to the other 3 cars. In the end, the 335i and G35 clearly outhandled the IS and Spec.B. The results were:

G35 (tie for 1st)
335i (tie for 1st)
IS350 3rd
Spec.B 4th

Like I mentioned, they started out from a roll in a hp/weight order....so the IS350 was first, the G35 second, the 335i third, and the Spec.B last. Not surpisingly, the 335i had the best laptime. The 335i tied with the G, but also started out in third place.

The only caveat is that it is in Japanese, so I can't understand a thing what they are saying. Fortunately, you can read all the numbers posted though.

You can download it through torrents if you cant wait.

TheGambler

Is is possible to upload a 700Mb file to Youtube?

Edit: I just tried to upload it to Youtube, but they will only allow 100MB uploads.

IS350 is still the sexiest. And yes, I am biased! haha

TheGambler, there is no G35, it is the Nissan Skyline. Not sure if its identical to our G35 suspension wise.

TheGambler

G35/Skyline 350GT is the exact same car including suspension. I posted it a G35 since that is what we call it here.

depends.. they have 8 speed auto skyline there...

TheGambler

The 07s don't have the 8 speed CVT, they have the same 5AT tranny as the G.

picus

The Skyline in that test is identical in every way (minus drive side) to the USDM '07 G35.

Not really a shocker. We all know that Infiniti has much more aggressive suspensions than Lexus. Have you ever driven a G35 coupe or FX45...your teeth hurt after the ride
