Why does the 370z get so much disrespect...

It's because older cars didn't have liquid filled suspension mounts to numb out the feeling

I think this talk of "dull" is overplayed. A Camry has dull steering. A Panther platform (pick one) should come with free anti-depressants.

Our Z might not tell you that you're hitting 15 pebbles per second, but I've never had a problem telling what my suspension is up to. I feel enough of the road to know what I'm driving on and how far I'm pushing the tires.

I'd call it smooth. With that comes the added benefit of each pothole and road imperfection not ripping the steering one way or the other. It also makes road trips almost GT-like. But, IMHO, dull is an incorrect description. Sharp, accurate, stubborn to a degree. But not dull.

A Camry is not a sports car it is the most boring car on earth. A sports car should give good accurate feed back through the steering. That being said the 370z steering is not that. Its like sex with a condom, it'll do but its not ideal.

some older cars had too much feedback for my lazy arse...

i dont care to know if i crushed an ant's head

smooth and fast is wat i like these days. 370z does that well.

In not sure on what kind of feedback you are looking for but I feel every bump, crack, and anything not level. I know what the road conditions are at all times.

Sex with a condom huh? Kinda like "If my aunt had a pecker she would be my uncle?"
