(not to mention a HUGE difference in steering feel and snob appeal) 
An almost fully loaded G35 (next gen) will cost around a base $IS350. I think these 2 cars are different enough in price to be a fully apple to apple comparison.
BTW, the 2007 Z will probably be significantly quicker than the G35 and IS350...VQHR in a car that weighs 300lbs less.

went to drag strip today in palmdale which is
and raced the IS350 with his traction off completely (too complicated to explain how to turn it off) ofcoarse my VDC was off and my best run was 14.788 at 94.496mph and his best run was 14.1 at 96mph. I have intake and custom exhaust and the IS350 just has custom exhaust. So it is a faster car than a 6MT g35.
my best 60 time was at that run which was 2.237 with goodyear eagle f1 dsg3s.
Side note: his first run he did 14.9 with my friend and his girlfriend inside the car (3 people total). LOL
2,710 ft. above sea level.
To figure the altitude factor the formula is as follows:
ET: multiply your et (at LACR) by .97
MPH: multiply your mph (at LACR) by 1.03
This will give you the ET & MPH at sea level.

well when i had 14.9 @94 run racing the IS350 side by side he had a 14.4 @96 run. I won the race because i had a better launch and reaction time at that particular run. But he was right next to me by 90, so if we kept going till, for example 130mph, he would pass me with ease. Thing i have noticed on the street is that if the car is faster or slower 0.5-0.8 seconds 1/4 mile then there is a good possibility the slower car will win till certain mph. Same exact thing happened to the WRX STI i raced at the dragstrip. I won the race but he had a better time.
