I liked the g35 (back in 2004, pre-mudgeons, around the time I got my 330Ci zhp). I also liked the 350z, back in 2006, when the s2000 and the mid-engined porsches came out as front-runners past the nissan and the z4.

My thought on infiniti/nissan is that they don't get some of the seemingly small, later-on important refinement right (to the point that the germans do). The used 350Z's that I saw had not "held together" that well. Also generally bmw/honda seem to be smoother.

So for me 330Ci zhp > g35c (then, even with 235 vs much higher 265 or 280 I forget reported hp) and 987.1 > 350Z. YMMV. No ideas on the M.. The FM infinitis do have nice v6's, torque, steering feel etc.
