Yes, it's not the fastest and it doesn't have the best handling, but it gives you just enough of both, IMO, to satisfy most people. This is something I never really appreciated until after owning both the 5.0 and S2000.
Now, is it possible you can be the best at everything? Probably. I think the C7 might get close to that level... but it's going to be a $60K + car. For the money, the Z is a pretty good value for someone that wants a good GT-style car. Not a full-on sports car or a full-on power car, but rather a well put together combination of both.
There are some small things I can nitpick over, but at the end of the day I appreciate it for what it is.

This right here is the reason for my pending purchase of a Z. If I didn't live in Iowa and instead were somewhere with more winding roads, I'd probably go BRZ.
