2008 G35 Sedan faster than my 2008 G37!

So i took my car in for the exhaust noise, stereo stations getting stuck and not scrolling, and oil change.

Anyhow, I get a rental car from Glendale Infiniti. I don't know if its me, but i felt that the G35 sedan had a faster take off than my G37 Coupe. So I was thinking:

1. Could it be that I was just driving that car like I didn't care, and I was testing it

or

2. Is my Coupe used to the way i drive, and it's not used to me stepping on it. Possibly reseting the ECU will give it the kick it needs?

Please give me your suggestions....

Was it an X? If so it does get out of the whole better until like 30-40mph, nothing past 40mph should make it feel faster. And if it does relate back to your two questions.

The G35 Sedan is faster. My brother has one and takes G37S's for a nice little spanking. He takes them by about 1-2 cars.

My mom has an 07 G35S auto and it definitely has more power off the line than my G37 coupe. At least that's what my butt says.

-It was not an X. It didn't even have Navigation. It only had 18k miles just like my car. I though for a minute. Maybe its faster cuz it newer...Nope

- The major difference was it coming off of 1st gear. That first gear really kicks in. In my coupe, I love the power the 3rd gear brings. That same coupe 3rd gear power, I felt in the first gear in the G35 Sedan. Maybe the heaviness of the coupe keeps it from being able to take off so eagerly.

How does a 4 door sedan weigh less than a 2 door coupe?
