The g35 is cheeper and in terms of performace vs price *at this lvl* it COULD be considered a better value. While i am a rabid 2IS fanboi, i will not speak badly of a G35, if you cant afford the 2IS entry fee the G is the default #2 choice. JDM FTW!!!

G37 pretty much equal to IS350, both are DEFINITELY faster than the G35.

My cousin and sister both own Infiniti's (but not the G35) however that's the car they get for a loaner. I've run them several times and haven't lost yet. I've also timed them with my passport g-timer and have come close, but have not been able to match or beat my time in the IS.

I believe the original post was asking which was faster, not which is a sports car...

i own a 05 6speed g35 coupe and i can tell you the IS350 is faster! as for the 08 sedans they run about 14.1-.3 for the quarter mile i believe! our cars have been tested at that quarter mile time but most people on the forum here get high 13s!
