judging criteria = acceleration, handling, reliability, LOOKS, value, luxury, class, curb appeal, and sex appeal

i have owned both cars so i can chime in:
1. acceleration there's no comparison. The throttle and turbo response on the 335 is epic, chipped or not! The G37 even if it's fast (altho definitely not faster than 335) still "feels" slow coz it needs to build up the torque
2. handling: the G37 handles pretty well but i would say if the 335 gets 10 points, the G37 gets 8. Plus the 335 comes with Michelin PS2's which are much gummier and grippy than bridgeSTONE.
3. reliability: i am unaware of any G37 issues, but i know one very common issue with 335 which is the fuel pump frequent failures
4. stock vs. stock i guess it's matter of preference. i was kinda disappointed with the G's new look after the G35 (which was awesome IMHO). the BMW lacks a few things in the front. but the aero lip for 300 bucks remedies that very nicely. the G37 looks bulky, but i cannot live with either of them just stock. G37 needs some serious spacers, the butt is ridiculously SC430ish, front is just not special.
The 335 can look boring too... so u need some wheels, drop, aero lip and ur good. this is all subjective, but the attention i got in the 335 >>> the one in G37
5. value as in per buck? i dont have much to say about that. u get what you pay for
6. the rest is all redundant lol
