And yes it is a marketing ploy. If I recall correctly, the Z is more like 54/46? Maybe 2 passenger will drop it to 53/47, but do you want to drive with two people all the time?

I weighed my Z and it is 54/46, IIRC.
50/50 only plows if you don't enter lightly on the brakes. What it DOES allow is more OPTIONS further into the corner. I never had any trouble with the 'vette. If you get some feed-back from the front-end...you correct it. You will NEVER get into trouble unless you do something stupid, or start poorly. With the 370Z, you can start perfect, and get to a "point of no return" very easily if you aren't thinking about things 3-steps ahead of yourself, as I detailed above.
