the car gained about 400 lbs, 51 hp to the wheels (altho new engine only gains 30 hp output, thanks to improved drivetrain) and gained 2 lb/ft torque.

The G37 is just above 3700+ lbs, not 3800 lbs. The previous version was in the 3500+ range (I believe around 3530). It has gained about 200 lbs, not 400. The original G35 (2003, 2004) weighed about 3,450 - that was the 280 HP engine (under the old rating system). The torque curve is also much flatter than the older version of the car. Peak numbers can be deceiving (as we should all know from the 335). The 2005s gained 70 lbs when the Revup engine was introduced. I'm a previous owner and yes, the 2007 sedan is 1000% better than the old coupes.
Overall, the initial reviews are showing it running anywhere from 13.8-14.2 at 100-104. Which is faster than the original (14.5+).
