Standard!

LoL
The Escalade is surprisingly fast!

My buddy in his 04 350z wants to line up. Bone stock other then new tires and an exhaust. I think he'll definately take me 0-60mph, but once were at about 80mph I think I'd pass him quicktime!

You shouldn't have any trouble taking care of your friend's 350Z (either from a dig or from a roll) with your 535. In fact, if we discount the AMG and Audi S competitors, about the only comparable car (sedan) that would be clearly and consistently quicker than you (or the 545/550) would be the MB E550.

Not sure if a 535 can take down a G37 but a 545i can.

a fair few of the G37's are modified. I don't believe a stock G37 should kick your ass, particularly at higher speeds. Some Japanese cars seem to be geared to maximize their potential from a dig but these tend to run out of steam once the speeds get close to triple digits. The G37 doesn't fall into this category, and it's a quick car, but still you shouldn't have had too much trouble with it unless it was modified.
