I have no knowledge on how well the 350 really handles but if it does indeed handle better than a 370 (besides high speed highway) then that's impressive because the 370 handles pretty damn well stock.

The 370Z has a shorter wheelbase and is ~100lbs lighter than a late model 350Z. Those two items would definitely contribute to a comparatively twitchier feel at higher speeds (assuming similar suspension components). If your main concern is cornering at >120MPH, then you should get a big wing, lip, side skirts, etc.
It's not like Nissan just decided to put less Unicorn blood in the 370Z than it did in the 350Z. There are engineering and design trade-offs... And yes, this is coming from someone who had a 2008 350Z and now has a 2009 Nismo 370Z.
