It's not the steering, it's the way the rear suspension is on the Corvette. You feel like you are in control of the 370, the Corvette can snap loose at any moment. The Z has quicker steering, but it doesn't hold the road much better than the Corvette. On the non Z06 C6, the suspension is way softer too.

I've done autocross with both my 370z and the C6 vette and Z just blows it away. The steering of the Z is much better and for tight corners the Z is just much better. Now on long sweeping turns that you would see on a road course or ....um.. fwy.... the Vette is very comfortable there.
I'll say this, the Vette does a lot of things better than the Z, but what the Z does better than the Vette makes up for it. Driving the Z just feels so much better. I still miss the explosive power of the Vette though. And if Nissan doesn't do something like FI for the next gen Z I'll be getting the next gen Vette.
