I hate to superimpose the graphs. I feel as though hp and torque is about 50% of the equation. The other 50% is how the car feels at the track. With an LSD and good 6MT, I think the G37 will be a formidable car. And it won't break down in the second lap.

The biggest issue to overcome for two people comparing these cars is that the 335's power can easily be upgraded. The new VQ37HR-VVEL is certainly an amazing N/A motor though. That is astounding for an N/A V6. They need to put all of this engine tech to work on a V8

This is getting better and better! I really enjoy this forum. Seeing and hearing the G37 doing its thing makes me think twice about waiting those few months and just pay MSRP as the dealer already offered to take delivery in September. Hummm....

I prefer a 3000lb car tops, but in the luxury segment I can understand that to be difficult. Still, 3700 is hard to swallow. That is creeping in on Charger and future Challenger territory.
