The corvette is very nimble, but tight corners are not its forte. It takes a lot more work than the 370Z, but yes, it WILL out-perform it comparing car to car. Comparing the human element, it will take much more skill to manipulate the Z06.

Sorry, kiddies - a used Corvette Z51 package is the best bang-for-buck car out there right now, really. That said, I doubt the one he was looking at has the Z51 package so I wouldn't even think of getting it, but thats besides the point - a Z51 (or Grand Sport) will push some 370Z shit in, barring some significant power upgrades to catch up...
If all you care about is speed and tracking a car, get a C5 Z06 and some race rubber and call it a day. It will be cheaper (brakes, tires) than the C6, and won't break the bank to buy, either.

You want a C6 Z06? Well...think about the tires, lol. $2K a set.
