The car also responds very favorably to cheap bolt on tuning items such as intakes, and freer flowing exhaust systems. Anyone who has riden in my car comes away very impressed. On track it's very fast and is one of the best handling affordable production cars I have driven. I come out of Porsche track cars too.

It handles far better than a GTR. GTR just has monster power and AWD traction. 370z is much more nimble and fun car to drive.
Like nism0370 wrote^, world class is subjective. I guess world class would describe a more refined, technology-laden car costing twice as much as a Z.

What mods have improved your car ?

Were the Porsche track cars 911's ? Does the engine in the front of the 370 help it handle bettter ?

So you must have driven a GTR on a track to compare... How does it handle compared to the 370?
