g37 s vs non s
I agree with you in theory. I can't speak on what the exactweight differences in the cars are however. With that said I remember in the previous generation that the sport rims were generally made to weigh less for its size. The brakes- There isn't too much difference between the size of the two. Head to head experiences have demonstrated to me that there isn't a significant difference in weight between the two.
You gotta remember that I worked at a dealer, and um... we had a lot of spare time
We didn't mess with the 6MTs as we didn't want to cause any noticeable wear on cars.I can tell you 100% that a non-sport V36 G35 sedan is ALWAYS faster than a sport V36 G35 sedan, and that one with 20k miles is faster than a new one. I can also conclusively state that the non-sport V36 G37 sedan will pull on a V36 G35 sedan, regardless of the G35 being S or non-S. However, the well-broken-in V36 G35's hung with the new G37S sedans until you get to 4th gear on the G35, where they start to fall behind noticeably. (typically, the G37 pulled a fender to ~55, then loses a fender in 3rd, and starts to crawl away when the G35 hits 4th)
All in a controlled environment of course
A secondary comparison, is that my s2k will pull on ALL V35 G35s, coupe or sedan, AT or MT, with any level of NA bolt-ons short of Osiris/TS. I will be even with a V36 G35S, whereas a non-S will pull ~1-2 lengths at a 60 roll to the G's limiter. The G37S sedans resulted in being close, even at triple digit speeds.
Oh, and sedans are faster than coupes (this was the other way around with the 1st gen, to a degree). (flame suit on).
of course
The new G37 sedan is definitely faster than the coupes.
At the track however my observation is that the G35 S Sedans were always roughly half a car behind (front bumper at door handle) or more at the end.
