So what other car's have been test drove while owning/driving your 370Z and how did they compare?

I test drove a 2010 Carrera S…….felt very taught compared to my 370Z but since I was not very familiar with the car it seemed a bit hands on. I imagine if I bought the car in time I'd work it. Afterwards when I was driving away the 370 felt much easier/comfortable to drive; possibly because I'm used to it.

2004 GT3. Wonderful road feel (understated), handling and acceleration but the clutch and shifting to me seemed "tractor" like.

1987 930 Turbo modified (450HP to the wheels) to be a track car……….holy crap what a fun beast to drive but…..hard to drive due to tractor like feel working the clutch, lack of power steering and the 4 speed had very long gears so… different.

After driving the above cars I still really love how the Z feels on the road and track simply because it is in my opinion easier to drive and is very predictable.
