Sold My 2016 M3, Bought 2016 370Z Sport

Awesome! I was in the market between a Z4 M coupe and 370z. Ended up going with an '11 sport touring (obviously) mostly because I could actually test drive one locally without having to fly out somewhere to try a Z4. My budget was around 25k and a huge selling point for the Z was the fact that I could get a newish model with very few miles. Z4 M's at that price range were usually in the 75,000-95,000 mile range. The mileage didn't scare me and in terms of resale value, the Z4 will definitely keep its value.

One thing I don't like about the Z is the feel of the transmission. I am still driving my '95 M3 and I just love the feel of BMW transmissions. How do you think the Z compares to your M coupe? I figured aside from the transmissions, they would be pretty similar at least in feel/performance. Have you tried your Z at the track? I took mine out and I must say, it is an extremely capable car out of the box. Curious to see how it compares to your M coupe.
