For anyone wondering just how fast (or slow
) the new '08 Infiniti G37 is over the 1/4 mi., here's a thread from a G37 driver who ran at the Capital Raceway track in Crofton, MD (not sure how good or bad that track is in regards to launches, ETs, etc. though)...

Also, here's a few more G37 times on DragTimes.com (showing similar times, but no timeslips posted)...

Anyhow, I think it's it's fair to say that a stock BMW 335i would have no problems with an '08 Infiniti G37 and a PROcede (or XEDE or JB2 or SSTT) 335i would pretty much destroy a G37 over the 1/4 mi.
In fact, this guy got beat by a modded turbo Honda Civic ricer!
Apparently, the 'oh-so-powerful' 330HP Infiniti G37 is still having a difficult time breaking below 14.0 sec. 1/4 mi.; at best, this particular G37 ran the 1/4 mi. in ~13.956 sec. @ 101.64mph. So much for the Infiniti G35/37 power "swell."
Although it's still a great car for less $$ than the BMW 335i, the '08 Infiniti G37 Coupe just can't match the performance (at least in straight line speed) of the 335i.
Just thought I'd share, and btw -- I used to drive two Infiniti's (a modded and loaded '04 G35 and a loaded '03 FX35) and I DO think they're great cars for the $$...I almost got another G35, until I drove the 335i that is.
