The real question is can the additional hp and road-holding of the 370Z buy 26 seconds? As the HACK noted, the 'ring' is a very long course where these upgrades on the 370Z may make a 26s improvement feasible.
Um...Not really. It's going to take a lot of HP to make up 26 seconds on the 'Ring. I'd be VERY surprised if the 370Z breaks 8:15.

Let's take a very similar car on paper for example. The BMW MZ4 Roadster did a 8:15 on street tires:

SUPERCARS.NET - Comprehensive Specifications, Galleries & Forums since 1996

Same HP figures, the MZ4R is about 200 lbs lighter than the 370Z but probably suffers in the aerodynamics department, so we'll call that a wash. If I had to take a guess, the 370Z will probably come in somewhere just north of 8:15, probably 8:16-8:17 range. Anything lower than that would be a very big surprise.
