g35 picked a fight with me

The original VQ35DE wasn't really anything special in terms of a sports car engine, but the VQ35HR engine was a different story. Either way, I don't think you're going to have a lot of trouble with any VQ35 equipped car with even a stock LS1 car. I'd think twice when it came to a VQ37 equipped car though...
For a V6, those VQ35s are pretty great engines.

i don't think that's biased they way i view it is that Porsche is more luxurious than an Audi which is obviously more luxurious than a VW. While AM's are very luxurious like a Porsche. But all in all some of the Porsche motors tend to be in some VW's and Audi's since its all the same company so I guess the better buy then would be a VW. with the common senses of g35 owners being a db id have to also agree on that just for the simple fact that they try and act all tough and cool and speed in the college parking lot of which this one guy almost hit several cars and BMW owners are not far from g35 owners IMO.
ps-your post is pointless.

Can't speak specifically to G37 coupes, but 370Zs are pretty damned quick, even stock. I'm just saying I'd at least have pause for concern with one of those, whereas with a 350 I'm not really worried at all, save for maybe boosted...

What do you think a bolt-on FWD family sedan (take a second and think about the cars that it actually competes with) should run with basic bolt-ons and decent rubber?

Not all G35 guys are the same. I take pride in my G35 and its not slow at any means. When my car was stock it was slow as **** but now its not to bad. CAnt ever get anyone to race me but still fun to drive around. So dont classify me with those dumb asses. I drive a real import !!!!! Better hope my Vtec doesnt kick in.

I have the world record for stock g35. 13.4 @ 103 mph da corrected.
It's the vq35hr sedan 5 speed auto.
The G37 sedan's have 30 more hp and 7 speed and have gone as fast as 13.0 @ 106 mph with good 1.9 60 foot... Hell motortrend got 13.5 @ 106 mph.
Here's me vs a 2010 Camaro SS L99 stock.

So you pick a motor that isnt going to be in an Audi or VW after you bolded a line from my statement in which i said SOME tend to be in an Audi or VW? Can you even read? Can you even comprehend English? but let me be more clear i guess and make it army proof for you ok. VW (just like many car companies) likes to save money they do this buy using some engines through out all their sub car companies I.E. Audi, Porsche and Lamborghini, etc.... Yes certain engines may not be used in other sub car companies because its what makes that specific car company iconic or better than the rest of the other car companies.

Exactly. They are quicker than people want to give them credit for. Instead of comparing it to a CTS-V (which is stupid), compare it to the pitiful 270hp base CTS that averages ~$2k more with similar equipment (and 58hp less).
