It's kind of like a bmw 318 vs a bmw m3. (kind of)
and yes, the G35 here is called a 'skyline' in japan. however, there is no GT-R, therefore the no hauling of ***.

Hmmmm...October edition of Car & Driver "2007 New Cars" lists the 350z as unchanged for 2007....
Incidentally, they tested the 2007 G35 Sedan 6MT. 0-60 5.2, 1/4 13.9 @ 103, 306HP 268 lb-ft
The G's HP rating is using the new calculation method so the gain would be much greater using the old method.

i wouldn't say 12s stock...even with better tires...but possibly 12s with dual CAIs (if they make good power) and some weight reduction...i.e. no spare tire/carpet/board...and the jack and jack equipment...
