Hit fluid in a Scoobie and it just understeers right into the bush albeit in a nicely controlled manner, but it still goes off.
I've never driven a 350Z, but I had a long chat with a guy in the pit next to me at Zwartkops with a supercharged 350Z. He says it's very nose-heavy and handles like a tank. It was raining heavily that day, and he only did 3 laps of the Z in the rain, then packed up because he reckoned his car was totally unmanageable.

Yeah, that's the mindset I need to get out of about AWD. I still feel uneasy about controlling oversteer in the BRZ but am getting there slowly.
Once the track quitened down a bit I turned off TC completely on one of the slower corners and practiced getting the back out a bit and then controlling it.
I must say, VSC spot is a nice "in-beteen"...it lets the rear go just far enough that you can feel the dynamics of the car.

Here's a dry lap of Zwartkops in that guy's s/c 350z. This lap is about 1m19.
He's got about 400whp, I've got about 230whp, and I'm quicker than him around the Z, so I have little doubt that my car's a lot quicker through the corners.

Nice work man! Always good having less power and sticking it with the "big boys"!
Sho that things pretty decent in a straight though, like you said, you must drill him in the corners.
