I'm surprised you found the Z as a disappointment. I found it to be awesome. The Mazda 3 is pretty quick too but I don't like hatch backs. S2000's are nice little convertibles, I would own one. The RX8 is a pretty fun car to drive but it just doesn't have enough "go" for me. I hate the Porsche Caymen, I think it is way overpriced. It is a boxter with a hard top and it's really not that fast for 50 grand.

I would honestly choose the 370. It corners great, the acceleration is a thrill, and for 30 grand, you can have Porsche Caymen like performance. No, it may not be quite as fast but it's not far off, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper. With the 20 grand I save on the Z, I'll mod it to make it destroy Caymens and even faster cars all day long. But that's just my opinion.
