The January 2008 editon of Best Motoring, one of Japan's most popular automotive TV/DVD shows, has a Lexus IS-F vs. Nissan Skyline Coupe 370GT Type S (Infiniti G37 Sport in North America) showdown:
While it can't match the IS-F in a 0-60 race, the 333hp Skyline Coupe Type S holds its own on the track, with only a two second difference in laptimes. Not bad for a car that retails for a little more than half of the IS-F. The details are lost due to the language barrier, though.
As an added bonus, the host, 'Drift King' Keiichi Tsuchiya, also slides each model through the track:
Would I be safe to assume that the Skyline Coupe 370GT Type-S is the equivalent of the Infiniti G37 or is there "more than meets the eye"?
Yes, I added some clarification to the article. The Skyline Coupe 370GT Type-S translates to an Infiniti G37 Sport, if I'm not mistaken.
