One day, he got a little power hungry, well really power hungry, because he left one day with it and came back with a C6 Z51 Corvette. A few years later, he moved up to a C6 Z06. I remember a discussion we had about his 350Z when I bought my 370Z. He said, "although the Corvette's have way more power, I still miss the way my Z felt".

At times I wish I had a new 5.0, or Corvette, but at the same time, I really appreciate how the Z feels when you drive it.
I have driven my fair share of Vettes (C5 and C6 Z06s). The power is really nice, however, I just do not feel as connected to the car as I do the Z. The Z is by far the more rewarding and fun drive.

That said, by the same margin the Z beats out the Z06 to me, the RX8 beats out the 370Z in terms of pure driving feel. I miss my RX8 for about 5 seconds, then drive and my Z again and forget all about the RX8.
