There is one guy at work who has a 370z (and no 350's). He parks in roughly the same spot every day. When I get my Z I'm planning on parking next to him whenever possible and hopefully he'll be friendly.

This is easily explained. It's like the guy who acts all tough and puts down his team mates simply because he has seen them naked in the locker room and he, himself, feels some deep inadequacy because of this.
These feelings of inadequacy and of being “less than” are deeply rooted in his subconscious and, try as he may, it is impossible to sublimate them completely. These feelings cannot help but bubble up into conscious thought and to counteract them, he employs these put-downs as a defense mechanism to protect his ego and self-esteem.
350 guys who spend their time bashing 370 guys suffer from this same syndrome – let’s call it "370 Envy" -- and its mechanism exactly like my previously described pathology.
So, please, dont' taunt these folks or put them down. They need help -- professional help. Reach out to one of these 350-centrics and recommend counseling or perhaps a short hospital stay.
Just my opinion.
