I wasn't being a smart ***... They are pretty identical cars. If I was shopping for a 350Z but needed 4 seats, I would have jumped straight to the G.

Before, when I bought my 350 I shopped the G coupes as well, but did not like them as much as a 350. But if I was in the market for one again, and was in the same situation where I needed the back seat, Would go straight to the G.

Look may be slightly different, but they are pretty much the same car. Same motor, trans, chassis, etc... Change the 350's body panels, add a little weight, class it up a little bit, and you have a G

Z holds ~.89G through the skidpad and runs about 67.3 mph through the slalom.

G holds ~.87G through the skidpad and runs about 66.9 mph through ths slalom.

They are close enough, no one will notice .4 mph difference in daily driving.

Then show me the numbers you are looking for? With the numbers I posted you can get a very strong idea of handling performance.
