My car far out handles the 350 as well but thats not what I am concerned with both cars handle better than is ever needed on the street.

You are comparing apples to oranges. Your car has AWD while the Z is RWD. A decently powered AWD car will always launch harder and stronger than an equally powered RWD car or even a RWD car with slightly more power. Back when I had my 06 WRX I could launch harder and jump 1.5 car lenghts on my girlfriends 06 Corvette. Does that mean the Corvette has no balls compared to a WRX? Hell no. She would rip past me after 60mph. What you are felling comparing your R32 to the 350z is the advantage of AWD. Do the same launch from a 1.5-2k rpm run and your car won't pull as fast as the Z.
Your best bet is to go test drive the 370z but if you are going to be comparing your AWD car to RWD you should be keeping in mind the AWD advantage when launching. Having driven the 370z it has more than enough power down low to be fun. Just need them to fix the oil temp issue so I can buy mine
