The best way for a man like you who has extensive experience with sooo many excellent cars is for you to test drive a Z and make your own comparison. Most of us will only have driven part of what you are comparing in actual realtime experience. Modshack is the only member on here who changes cars like babies change diapers and has driven just about everything under the sun.
The best thing you can do is drive the Z and tell us what you think compared to all of the above.
The Z is the only car I have driven that is fun in both low and high speed. There are cars that are faster and cars that handle better. But I will be hard pressed to find a combination of both speed and handling at this price. Nissan almost always has one of those most advanced engines in class, quick responding transmissions, and a true sports car suspension. But that's only true up to 50k price range.
You have owned and driven pretty expensive cars. If I were you id be looking at the camaro ZL-1, mustang boss 302; audi r8, corvette Z06 or maybe even ZL1 and porsche cayman R
The Z may feel unrefined to you, but again. Test drive one and find out.
