As a recent owner of a modified BMW M3, I find the 370z has a very tight ride with sharper turning and less body roll, not harsh. Yes there is road noise, when I don't want to hear it I turn up the stereo. Interestingly, my wife finds the 370z a much smoother ride than the M3.
I know a M3 is a different beast than the 335, but if you are making a choice based on performance, comfort and noise, I find the 370z more than suitable in that regard.
If I were a single guy in college at UCI, give me the 370Z roadster and let the posing begin.
