Default is the 350z inferior to the supras handling?

Well, I took out this specific statement out of the 800-900 horsepower supras? thread.

someone stated....
"As far as the Handling I would say the supra handles better...the supra stock puts down a 0.98 lateral g for 1993 the other car that can do that was the FD RX7.."

I thought that the 350z handles better then the supras...but apparently not according to someone's knowledge.

Can someone confirm or better explain which is the better handling car?

FD > 350Z > Supra in my opinion. The FD is several hundred pounds lighter than the Z, and the Z is several hundred pounds lighter than the Supra. As for the .98G's, don't be a magazine racer. There are multiple variables that affect published performance stats: driver, conditions, etc.

a stock supra does not do .98 on the skid pad.
i've owned both a surpa and a 350z. supra feels havier. 350 handles better in my opinion and is much easier to drive fast.
supra may pull a higher number on a skid pad but the z will be way faster through the slalom while the supra is swinging its *** all over the place

agreed. 100%.

Although, maybe more like this:

FD >>> 350Z > Supra
