Also, I hate my 370Z's suspension compared to my Z06 or the Grand Sport C6's I drove. The crappy weight distribution and the complete and utter lack of rebound control make the 370Z plow in the corners and bounce all over the place if you hit a bump. Corvette did a MUCH! better job planting the ride and handling the curves IMO/IME. Further, enter a corner in the 370Z and accelerate for balance and you might "go over the edge"---you can't stop accelerating after a certain point of you lose the back end when the weight shifts forward---hope you gauged things right. With the Corvette, you can back off without near the drama. "Plan as you go" in the corvette. Not so much the 370Z. IMO/IME.

Interior taste is subjective so there is no point in arguing that. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
As for the suspension, I know in my '08 C6 with the Z51 suspension, above 110 MPH the thing was absolutely floaty. I thought I was driving a Cadillac. Did not feel planted AT ALL. Once I installed coilovers it all went away. It was stable all the way to 190. (Yes, I hit 190 in it)
As for comparing it to the 370, I have only driven my Nismo, and I can tell you it inspires much more confidence in me than my Vette.
One thing I am sure that you will agree with me on is that the Vette absolutely SUCKS in the rain. I have driven C6 Z06's in the rain and I was mortified at how it wandered all over the place above 60 MPH. It was really bad. Conversely, I hit over 100 MPH in the rain this Saturday in my Nismo and it was fine. Very stable.
