Default Impressions from the Track

How many of you have had your car out on the track? How are your cars handling relative to other vehicles you may have tracked? I was wondering if anyone can speak to the various handling characteristics of the 370z vs cars such as the Cayman, M3, or Elise/Exige. Just thought it would be interesting to get some feedback from forum members as opposed to what I have read in various car mags.
Thanks

I think the 370Z has the potential to be an excellent track car. Aside from the cooling issues with the oil and diff temp it has proven to be an excellent car so far. I don't have any personal experiences with the specific cars you have listed above, but I do have track experience in many different types of cars and I can say that bang for your buck, the 370Z is one of the best I have driven. They are a big step up from the 350Z for sure. I have driven E46 M3s on the street a bunch and although I have never driven one on the track if I were to guess I would say that the 370Z would be a bit faster around a road course stock for stock than the E46 M3. Cayman and Elise/Exige I have never driven period.
