Yes I agree with you on the 2nd part, you definitely need to take a test drive in the 13.

Which goes back to what im saying... I got rid of the G37 because steering was light. I too came fron the G35 and noticed less feeback from the 37 in terms of heft which gave the 37 a shyttier responsiveness. Feedback and heft go together imho. Maybe its due to just being used to putting effort into the steering wheel to maneuver the car. But if turning is effortless with little to no resistance in the steering wheel. That means imho. A car went from sport to sporty. Sporty remains due to the point and shoot, directness of the sporty cars characteristic. Hence being called Sporty and not sport. sounds to me the Z is now 100% GT and it's lost the last of its sport. But I will test it just for shyts, giggles and knowledge.
Looser-lighter, imho is the same shyt. Lower resistance can be described by either word. Less resistance= reduction in sport characteristics. Too much resistance makes a car feel like a truck. The Z was weighted on the light side of heavy as it was but gave enormous feedback. Iho. A lil (maybe 5-7%) more heft was the only way to go.
An example of max heft for sporty driving would be a camaro SS, 5% more heft than it already has and it would feel like a truck. Mustang steering is my least favorite though its point and shootability is high. Corvettes have extremely well balanced steering feel. Again just my opinion.
