The horsepower war. There is so much more to a car than specifications. It's not that specs are irrelevant, but they fail to capture what it's really like to drive a car. I've driven cars and bikes that had better specs but offered an inferior driving experience. Thank God that most interesting things can't be reduced to a spec sheet. If horsepower is what matters most, buy a Pontiac GTO.
I've driven the G35 and I very much prefer the feel of the E90. After driving both, the difference in handling, dynamics, and refinement are so clear to me that I wouldn't consider the G35 after driving both. However, it's fine with me if someone else loves the G35. It's fine with me if the G35 is faster on a dragstrip, etc. They should buy the G35. If having a fantastic spec sheet makes them feel better, well I suppose that's an innocent pleasure.
