The 2006 Bmw M3 is 3400+. The new G37 weighs 200 - 300lbs more depending on the model. It has basically the same horsepower and torque numbers so you can forget a sub 5.0 sec car 0-60!

Thus far, BABYING MY '05 G35 Coupe 6MT with traction control enabled, Tanabe Y pipe, Motordyne MREV+ package, SUS filter, and 18 in michelin pilot sport a/s tires averages 5.5 0-60.
Same, michelin pilot sports, 0-60 5.3-6 sec 0-60.
The Z will do better. But, the G35 is one nice ride (had one oil burning biatch). While in Indian country Ive never topped out. BUT, this beast pulls hard. Ive pulled strong along side many a beefed 350 pickup. Far into a zone (>100mph) that might land me in some civil war era jail before I could blink. They are left in the dust. No mustangs yet...
Some SOB might smoke you with a 405 HP beast, but the interior is nicer than the new Vette. There will always be someone who has something faster, wider, stronger, badder. Just put the lean on and know that the only reason you are being tested is that they are jacking.

Have you read any of the first drives? The G is more of a sports car than it ever was. There is no way you can call it a cruiser. It has a better, sportier suspension, better brakes, and better accelleration than it does now. The extra weight offsets the power only slightly. It will definitely be faster than the current G.

I'm beginning to wonder how many of the posters on this forum have ever driven a sports car to know the differance between the two.
Everyone has their own personalized performance bar. I don't need to read some magazine article to tell me if a car is quick or not, and I don't even need a stop watch to make that determination. I simply test drive the car and within a few minutes, I make that determination.
No one is denying that the G37 will have better performance than the G35. What I am saying is that I was looking for the G37 to at least match the performance of the 335, especially since the G37 is being released a year after the 335. And based on how portly the G37 will be, there's a zero chance of that happening.
Let's not forget when the G35 was first released it blew away the 3 series both from the performance and appearance perspectives. You won't be able to make that same statement about the G37.
