Even though its 150lb heavier, the 50hp makes up for it... alot.

Check out the Dyno comparison between the G37 & 335i. The G37 makes more power to the wheels, which should be no surpriced with its 330hp engine.
Here's the graph: Cant wait to see these two in action

Just noticed that the pics seem to indicate the sport model will bear a G37 S on the rear of the car. I don't believe this was in the NY auto show car was it? Sweet!

why is the VQ35HR only getting 235RWHP??
i thought they tested earlier having 285RWHP....
287RWHP on the VQ37 isnt totally impressive. i'm still sticking with a 335i with PROcede which will push to around 330RWHP with a $1500 chip.
also, the 335i have roughly 30-40 more HP in 2000-7000RPM then the G37. even the peak power the VQ37 is higher by about 12HP, the mid-range power is much lower then the 335.
stock to stock will be very comparible. but there is no way it can keep up with a PROcede 335i, unless the VQ37 is FI

PROcede 335 will trounce a g37, true. But at what price? Running turbo's constantly will wear them much faster and you pay a price premium for the TT's. Not only that but the 335 doesn't look as good as the G37.

Blue Slate looks so nice, wow.
Good news, thanks for posting.
LOL @ the guy who said the G will outhandle 335i because of 4wheel steering - - HAHA!
335i will probably still be faster, but oh well...

Just a question........why is so many people so concerned with whether the G37 is faster than the 335i or vice versa? If one is a tenth or two quicker than the other, who really cares? And before all of you jump on my @ss, I know that there are a few that take their car to the track on a regular basis and I guess I can see the point in that case. BUT, the amount of people that track their car here is so minimal that I can only come to the conclusion that people want the faster car merely for bragging rights. Am I off base here? Maybe it's just me, but I buy a car that stirs my soul, and I couldn't care less if it may or may not be a tad slower than it's competitor. 
Anyways, I'm just rambling.......don't mind me.

So in essence, adding 19" rims and 14" brakes makes for a 58-lb increase. That's 14.5 lbs per corner. My guess is the rims are cast not forged.

.......So, on with the questions:
6) Will the wheels on the sport versions of the AT and MT be forged or are they also cast?
A. The 19” wheels, available as part of the Tire/Wheel package and Sport package on AT transmission vehicles and standard on Sport 6MT vehicles, are cast.
