The list goes on. I am just NOT happy with the Z06 unless I am flooring it. I am a realist and know I cannot do this 100% of the time unless I want a bigdick ticket to go with that bigdick acceleration.

I feel that the 370Z is an all-around better car, handles equally but with different feel, and definitely lacks in acceleration, comparatively.

Am I misleading myself in your opinion?

(Further, will be cheaper, added bonus, as I am trying to save more money for a move).\
To me that's all petty stuff, the Nav you could upgrade, if you think the z06 speakers are bad, the 370z speakers are worse. Alittle fatmat/dynomat can help with vibration in the door panels. The steering wheel can be replaced with a nicer dsport*, grant, or even the centennial wheel for about $400-600. Seats can be replaced with something nicer as well. Although the Z06 doesn't have syncro-rev match, it has a damn 7.0L V8 & a much smoother transmission that makes up for it.
