Top End Power

Top End Power
I know that heavier cars take a second to get going. I do not intend to quarter mile or have stoplight races. However, i do care about top end power
. Spirited highway driving is always fun. Now that we have seen some statistics, can someone put them into perspective for me? The 37 isnt a rocket ship off the lineup but how hard is it going to pull up top? Comparable to which cars? The is350 is a monster on the highway. Ive seen it pull on the M3.

Um to my knowledge the is350 sucks up top. It has all of its power from a dig...then it slows way down up top. The is350 will pull like hell on a stock g35 from a dig, but up top 80mph+ forget about it. There is a video of a g35sedan racing a is350 on the freeway (both stock) and the g35 pulled pretty hard maybe 3+ cars. So if the reviews are right and they say there "isn't much power difference" between the 2...then i say the g37 will pull pretty hard on the freeway.
EDIT: I ment to say the IS350 is fast until about 70-80MPH after that...it dumps.

I dont approve of street racing, but here are a couple videos that kind of proove my point. You can see that the is350 stops pulling at about 80-90MPH and the g35 starts to pull.

I dont think the g35 is stock in this video , we all know the stock is350 is faster then the G35 and can hit 13.5 in 1/4 mile so how come an is350 with intake is slower than the G it doesnt make sense to me :s
