I'm not really sure where you answered it, but the response was a given anyways... so it doesn't really matter.

Not even sure what your question was, but I believe I already stated my opinion in full detail. I don't believe there's anything more I can say without ending up repeating myself.

This was my experience with GS, Z06, and ZR1's that I have driven. At the limit, you get VERY PREDICTABLE under-steer with a lot of feed back from a good tire like the PS2, that is mitigated with a laying off of the gas-pedal or light application of the brake. The car is as docile as you let it be with no Jekyll and Hyde tendencies. I just wanted to inquire if the 370Z had any due to the shorter wheel-base and different suspension design. I am not familiar with the 370Z except for test drives that obviously did not involve the limit.

Rather suprised to hear that considering that every review of the corvettes handling state that they tend to oversteer a lot with even a bit of throttle application. Well, if you find a corvette predictable, easy, and understeers, you'll have an easier time with a 370z. The Z does have a shorter wheelbase, but the suspension is quite soft (unless you go with the harder Nismo version which I havent driven), the engine is less powerful, and the suspension is set up from the factory with a bit of understeer. There's nothing unpredictable at all. Of course if you do something stupid like floor it in the middle of a right angle turn in 1st gear, yeah, you'll find yourself facing backwards in a flash. But other than that it's easy to drive.
Of course if you do plan on driving it on snow or on near freezing temperatures, definitely get snow tires. The stock tires are summer only and would not work at all in the winter.
