i came from a fully modded 03 g35 coupe, and what you are describing is the likes a well-made car... Its much improved over the 350z, the only thing i can think of is the torque down low in the 350Z comes in much sooner than in the 370. So the initial push back isn't there as much when you first throttle it down low. It builds up much smoother and perhaps doesn't feel as whippy, but to most that is a very good thing.. When you start to push it and you leave the revs high you will get that feeling back... Just break it in and get used to it... Its natural for you to miss your car that you had for 5 years and loved, i do, but each day with the 370z it certainly makes its case for me to forget the G35...

What really did it for me was when me and my buddy in his 335, that used to walk my g35, were next to each other and in a matter of 2 seconds of gassing the cars on the way home from putting in my test pipes, i pulled 3/4 of a car. I quickly backed off it since i have 900 miles but i couldn't resist... (wasn't a full blown street race, sorry if I offend anyone there) I swore my G was faster than the 370 until that second when I soon realized its just better made, doesn't feel as fast, but it certainly is faster and more refined.. that 335 was 1-2 cars faster than my G35 was.. the 370 gained serious points that day for me.

As far as the seating position in due time you should be able to find a comfort zone.. coming from a g35 coupe which seats you a bit higher than the 350z (my bro has one so i can relate) I had zero trouble finding a comfortable position.
