-They both handled very well, but with a different feel.
-The Z06 was obviously way faster.
-The 370Z feels like it has the interior of a $40K car. The Z06, a $15K car (not exaggerating).
-They both get identical mileage in my experience.
-The Z06 sounds SO MUCH better than the 370Z when the exhaust opens up.
-The transmissions are both a bit unrefined, toss-up here.
-Steering in the corvette feels more "connected" and "safer" at high speeds, but both cars feel stable well into tripple digits. The Corvette steering is a pain in parkinglots but is very nice at speed, the 370Z is the opposite.
-The corvette has a bit more body flex
-The corvette has much better visibility
-The 370Z is a Nissan, and people associate it as such. Corvette is almost considered its own brand by many lay people. They say "Corvette for a Nissan?" when I tell them I traded. Then I remind them...Chevy/Nissan...same deal.
-The ZR1 feels like a Base model except rides smoother and has more performance. Quality, interior, etc. are all the same.
-The 3LZ package is lipstick on a pig beyond the telescoping steering column. Leather glued to things doesn't make it somehow "upscale".
-370Z has more "roll" than a Z06, it feels similar to a base C6, except the C6 is more composed over bumps. The 370Z is very "bouncy" and has a lot of rebound over rolling dips at speed.
