I've driven and auto-x the 5.0, I could concur.

I disagree about the handling beats the 370z. The Z has the edge. Disappointingly (for me), the advantage of handling for the Z is not very much (if you want quantitative, probably like 15%) where the only thing that gave the Z the advantage is probably the weight.

Brembo brakes, however, is by far superior to the Akebono's that the Z has. Despite having many sessions with the Z in Auto-X, the 5.0 GT, after a few runs, were able to pretty much surpass my time on my stock Z due to its brakes (both cars have potenza tires, the GT has pole positions).
