OP...have you considered an RX-8? Slower then the Z and 3.8 GC, but still has all the nice creature comforts. The extra you will have to spend on gas for the Mazda will be more than made up for with the much cheaper price you can obtain one for compared to the other 2.

The Z is in a class of it's own and the RX-8 is a more tame version of the Z. Honestly I consider the 8 and Z together in a class of their own. Not much to compare them to in the same price range. I think it's been mentioned in a previous post, but the thing that would concern me with the GC is the alarmingly high number of folks that have had transmission problems. 100k warranty or not, that's something I would not want to be dealing with on a new car.
