Maybe the driver? Never heard of a Z being much faster unless its modded. They are basically identical (nothing too significant). It has to be the driver...too many people mix a car's performance with a driver's experience.

Actually I thought it was only around 250lb difference. However when I check Edmunds, it states 350z at 3815 and G35 at 4360.

350z is 3225 and G35 at 3435. So only 210lb difference.

so thats like, what a 20hp loss(10lbs=-1hp). so basically it would be equal to racing a 310ish hp car rather than a 290ish car.hmm. so what weight reduction can i do?
i was actually thinkin of gettin bluebats Z cause that thing is badass, then put a TN single on there. but idk if i want to go Z.

thats just curb weight.
i got that from the infiniti website cus 500 pds more wasnt sounding right. but i guess with people in the car and whatever else you have it could be close.
