just test drive all cars and see which one you like better. i made a mistake getting a z in ohio. hate driving in snow/rain. when summer time hits, the z is by far the sexiest mofo out there.

GTmat can resolve some of the noise IF you don't plan on going all Spohn (super tracking it)

Buy new exhaust (essential), turn the stereo up. The Z is just fine in the rain especially with proper tires. Just because you gave up so easily doesn't mean other people won't prepare their vehicles for the weather they will be driving in.

LATERAL ACCELERATION 1.01 g (avg) Not bad for a car that some think is equal to a sports sedan. Given the dollar value, this car exceeds plenty of others costing more, and will routinely exceed the capabilities of most who drive it. Great review here the OP might want to read:
