Compete with it when it comes to sheer speed (for those who can't stand the fact that an Infiniti competition model is a second faster than their car) so the zhp does 0-60 5.9 seconds, the 325i and 330i are already up there if not better than the G35 in everything except straightline speed (and HP).

This has turned into a bit of a 330/ZHP vs G35 sedan/coup thread - lol
As far as acceleration #s are concerned I wouldn't really be concened with a 1/10 of a sec here or there etc. To me there is a bit of difference between a manual and an automatic of each - but basically all of these vehicals are in the same ballpark - with perhaps the ZHP being slightly faster - followed by the G35 coup - but really if you look at the different test results from various mags there is quite a bit of variability and I've even seen one where the G35 sedan (M/t) was listed as faster then all of the above. So again - basically all about the same....any differences will likely be up to the driver...
I think the G35 is a great car BTW...and I might even perfer the coup to the 3 series cars (based on my limited exposure to each thus far) - I certainly like the looks of the car very much....and the growl of the exhaust is awesome! ...only problem for me...no trunk to speak of...(compared to a 3 series coup) and, with 2 kids, the sedan was really the most practical option - and here I felt the 3 series was clearly better - particulalry the ZHP...but Nissan really should be commended...

ZHP's are nice, I test drove a 330i ZHP a few months back, along with some regular 330's, including a cabrio. The ZHP was sportier, it had a SSK already which was great to shift with. I could tell a 'slight' difference in speed, it did have a bit bumpier ride, but it was much tighter cornering(a tradeoff).
If I could shop for a new 3 series (non //M) it'd be a ZHP, certainly.
