The only thing I think the 370z has over the 235 is steering and brake feel. Other than that the Z doesn't really beat the 235 anywhere other than maybe aftermarket wheel/suspension options. Since you have a 350z the difference will be even larger compared to my 370z.
If you want any specifics comparisons on anything let me know. I tracked my Z a few times too (only owned it a year). Z was daily driver, but setup for track duty (coilovers, oil cooler, radiator, SPL suspension arms, secondary fuel pump, RS3 285 square, etc).
Here is a list of previous cars I've owned for reference if you want any other comparisons. I tracked many of these too.

The Evo X was magic on the track. I went to a Vette event, a bunch of them were chuckling/giggling at the paddock. Me and my buddy witnessed it as we were walking back from his trailer.
As the sessions went on and I was getting pointby after pointby (mostly C6s, a couple Camaros, even a Boss 302 Mustang). The mentality changed.
This was in the intermediate (I drove) AND Advanced run groups (my buddy, also my instructor, drove).
It didn't hurt that I was running race pads, race fluid and a full bolt-on Evo. Street tires nonetheless.
Edit: also flipped front strut bolts to dial-in extra camber. Had an alignment done before events. HUGE help.
