There is also a bad side to the longer wheelbase:

Longer wheelbase = crappy turning radius

I think the trade off is worth it to get better stability and control on the turns.

It's true that the G35C has a pretty wide turning radius. Small price to pay for the benefits though...

Re: G35 Handles better than Z

"By the way, how did your Auto X times compare against the Z's."

KenZ, I am by no means an expert AutoX, I have just gotten started. The Z driver had a performance model Z with Borla exhaust, suspension (I think JIC?) mods, sway bars, and Kuhmos all around. I was running a stock G35C with all the options and full tank of gas, so it wasn't a fair comparison.....

Oh yeah, btw: I beat the Z all three times.

Probably the tires. Let's be honest. The Z rims and tires are weak. Especially the the rims. They look so cheap!!
