Great G37 Track Video

I ran across this today. A great 2 part track comparison between the G37 and the BMW 335i. Sorry if this is a repost.

Watch the BMW shutdown due to overheating in part 2.

Part 1

Part 2

now would the fastest way around a track be no drifts with more corner angles?

the fastest way around the track would be to take the best line. you don't want your tail wagging all over the place or snap oversteer so much you spend too much energy lining her up.

the best drivers are the ones that flow through the track beacuse they always catch that sweet line on a turn, making the car (and driver) work less.

Was it just me or did he seem to almost loose it twice on the 335? The G37 run showed him hitting some good lines which didn't seem to be the case for the 335. It's too bad it broke, would have love to see that video continue and the winner picked on merit, not forefit.

Performance comparisons are nice but why isn't anyone comparing the stat that really counts for most of us... Chick magnetism.. It's measured in G force baby!

The G can hold power slides much better because it has an lsd. With the 3-series you dont get an lsd, holding slides with only 1 wheel getting the power is hard.
