Coming from a previous generation coupe I must emphatically disagree with you on that one.

It's a drivers race up to about 25 MPH- beyond that bye bye 1st generation coupe!
After 2nd gear a G37 can make a mistake or hesitate and still make up for it against the 1st gen.

let's end this debate once and for all...

stock G37 autos have been recorded in bimmerfest @ 13.75

G37 vs G35 sedan same track, same night side by side

all in all they are about even...the G37 being a nose hair quicker. but no way a DE G35 coupe is even with a HR G coupe.

cvt that is the non awd correct? When going to the track your opponent can brake rev, with out skidding out i believe that would give a bit more take off..

i hope that that does mean g35=g35x

can u find that out it seems like you been doing your homework

cvt

i think it's non awd...but i believe the awd is a bit heavier than the sport...yup, almost 180lbs more

i think the awd for the G and even the BMW isn't sport oriented unlike audi's quattro, i believe Infiniti's and BMW's Xs are for weather...

cool thanks alot therefor it should even it out.. right?

COUPE-DADDY

Does it really matter? I mean we are really splitting hairs here.

IME -Anything under .5 in the 1/4 mile is a drivers race considering how bad most people drive.

Once again Gday with invalid information.

cvt

it's not invalid..road and track did get those times...it's just that they were possibly under different conditions and drivers....the G35 sedan is fast but it's not .3 seconds faster than a G37.

holy cow...just saw this in driver

07 G35 SEDAN AUTO HITS 13.5s FULLY STOCK!!!

07 sedan is faster than 08 coupe

Saw this from another poset (DaveB):

Calculated DA for that day was 1,700' below sea leve!!! Lucky SOB!

1.20.08
Houston, TX (sea level)
Temp: mid to upper 40s
Baro: 30.56
Dew point: 23 degrees

Talk about ideal conditions. For those that don't understand air density and why racing in the right conditions is key, the air density was a whopping 105% and the engine was making 109% power. A stock VQ35HR makes about 265whp. In these conditions, the motor was making more like 289whp! Free air mod

Proof that conditions play a HUGE roll in the way a car performs.

I fully agree, altitude (and at this case BELOW SEA LEVEL conditions) makes a massive difference. I drove an '07 G35 sedan and thought the car was sluggish. My '08 G37 will run rings around it. That being said, the G37 is a descent performer, and I don't get why 1 car running 13.7 or less would matter when the average G runs about 13.9 (or 13.8 or 14.0 or whatever the 'official' figure is). If it is to compare it to the 335, I think anyone that drove both cars would have to admit the 335 is hands down faster. I drove both and the 335 has more torque and at much lower revs than the G. Even knowing that, I still picked the G because I think it's much sportier than the 335, and I prefered the way it handles and feels. If it's all about speed and performance, get the 335, then there's no need to look for the fastest 1/4 mile time because you'll be driving a car that no G can beat (stock).
