My previous car Mini Cooper, felt ALOT tighter and more stable than the z, partly yeah short wheel base, but still.

maybe its the production version, and there are different settings.
I traded in a 2006 350Z on my 370. I understand where you are coming from. It took me a while to adjust to the different feel of the car..... and there is definitely a different feel. I also thought the car felt a little "floaty" at first, and was not happy with the body roll. Now that I have owned my 370 for 5 months, I think the initial "floaty" feel was just a little more "compliant but planted" ride. I tried to drive it like the 350 at first, and it took me a little while to adapt/adjust to the 370........ now I feel it is very easy to drive quickly/at speed with confidence. I think if you spent a little more time in one Chubbs, you might agree with this assessment. I will add though, that I have decided that I need aftermarket sways. I want to dial out that little bit of body roll, that in the factory delivered form is just a little too much for me. I think the car will be perfect (for me as a daily driver) when I add the Stillen sway bars and 15mm spacers.
