The Z is heavily dated at this point and not worth buying unless you don't care about having dated tech. If it were me I'd be looking at a new Camaro SS or Mustang. Don't get me wrong, the Z is an awesome car, but compared to other options it's very dated with regard to performance and inside tech.
Honestly, who cares about this?

The Z, dated or not is a proven design that works great and you know damn well will last years without issue, even if you hammer on it on a daily basis.

All of these new American muscle cars are like the old ones. They just rely on brute force to get them down the road. No style, no refinement, no quality, no character. They're getting better at maneuvering through corners, but still not great, except maybe the latest Z06 Vette. The interior styling in all of them suck (cheap, fake plastic chrome, carbon fiber, aluminum look), the exterior on most of them suck, again with the exception of the Vette, although the ***-end of the new Vettes are horrible.

The Z on the other hand, as well as just about every other Japanese and European car has great styling, quality and refinement as well as being quite capable of going through corners very well.

Granted, the new Mustangs are great looking cars and are supposed to be pretty good in the corners as well (and the new 5.0 sounds excellent). I was actually considering one before getting the Z, but after sitting in a new Mustang and touching/looking at that nasty interior was more than enough for me to happily go with the Z.
