It's steamboat long compared to a Z.

No handbrake

That's the best I got.

I'm actually a bit disappointed at the lack of feedback in my Z. It's there, but it's definitely numb on-center, and subtle for the rest of the range.

Admittedly, it's subjective. It could be the immense arm-strength I posses talking ... (LOL).

So, you think you'd rather drive a plastic bodied car vs aluminum/steel? As mentioned above, the insurance will absolutely HAMMER you every month/3 months/6 months, depending on your policy arrangements. Not fun when you're writing out bills. And also as mentioned above, there are articles/ConsumerReports that warn about reliability issues. If these weren't issues, it would certainly be one of the quickest cars out there, except for the GTR and the Tesla Model S with "Ludicrous" mode. Bottom line, there will always be a faster car out there....
BTW, they've been talking about a mid-engined Vette for several years. Still not here, haven't seen anything about one coming out soon either
