So how is everyone pleased with their Z performance wise?

The new Civics and Sentras and what-not have tons of funky noises and problems.

You can ask most of the guys that have made the switch to the stang how they feel-- I think the stang is actually put together better. The Z06's that I have been in felt to have better interior quality (in terms of build) than the Z, just as an aside.

As far as the original question--I think you've just got to drive them and see what speaks to you. The best car on paper isn't always the best car for you.
