I'll defer those questions to some of the more experienced track guys who have driven other cars on track as well. My whole track experience has been in just the 370Z, so I don't have any room for comparison.

As for where to apex, generally speaking late apexing is certainly the safe way around the track. The Z will let you put all the power down much earlier with a late apex but I find that I'm wanting another 100hp if I do that. Hitting turn-in and apex perfectly, the Z is really well balanced and I'd say that's still the ideal and fastest way through and out of the turn for an experienced driver. While 332hp sounds nice, the Z still requires momentum to carry good corner exit speed and doesn't have the HP to make up for slow corner entry. Having the rear LSD is also helpful for getting on the power earlier as well.

Curious to hear what the more experienced track guys say.
