I drove a 370Z and to me, it felt identical to my 2001 WS6. Yeah, it's not going to get up and go like my Z06, but the gearing and tq curve really negated the lack of displacement when compared to an LS1/LS2.
EDIT TO ADD:
Looking at C&D's test data, the 1998 Z28 had a 5-60 of 5.6 seconds. The 370Z did the same in 5.5 seconds in one test, and 5.8 in another (I think the first test was when it was new, as I belive it was the same car tested, that they used for their long-term eval).

Like I said, they felt the same to me.
