Lexus IS-F vs. Nissan Skyline Coupe Type S
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:

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.
