Damn, did you notice how from behind the front wheels to the back of the car, nothing was affected? Thats pretty impressive and so are those ratings.

nice ratings, light cars typicly fair very well. less weight to stop.
it gets painful when you consider a 7000lb SUV hitting the side or front.

At least you know if the feathering gets bad enough and it blows, and you get in a wreck. You'll be safe!
Seriously, great results, I can show this to my parents now.

Anyone know if the side crash results are with or without side airbags?

It doesn't look like it has side air bags. I think they used stock Z's for the tests. I didn't see the side curtains come down either.

The best test of the crash worthiness and survivability of a 350Z is the actual testimonials of 350Z owners who have crashed their cars and survived. There have been numerous of these on this and other Z forums with pics. I recall only two reports of fatalities.
