I suspect that a large percentage of the 350z's "unsafeness" is due to the different characteristics of its typical drivers.

Exactly! G35 drivers are more refined.

Probably more specifically related to driver age... This is one of the most unscientific polls I have ever seen. It doesn't relate to safety of the vehicle at all.
