As I pointed out in an earlier post, the only major difference between the two cars is their caster specifications (about +7.0 for the 350Z, but about +5.0 for the 370Z). More positive caster, among other things, equals more heft in the steering and a feeling of more stability; less positive caster equals less heft and a feeling of quicker turn-in. Driving both cars back-to-back will reveal this immediately.

There are enough differences in the geometry and design of the two cars that you should not expect them to act or feel similarly. Some folks prefer the handle characteristics of the 350 over the 370.
