Has anyone else experienced this with their 370Z? Should I call State Farm and ask for a better rate or go to another insurance company?

Tell your agent/agent staff that you want to participate in the
Drive Safe & Save Program. It means you need to report your odometer reading twice a year before your next policy renewal. The less you drive the more you save. You can also save by increasing your Comprehensive & Collision Deductibles.

After all, if it's totaled, State Farm will have to pay A LOT less. But from the sounds of it, everyone is dealing with the same thing, so I guess I just have to deal with it.

Los Angeles has one of the highest insurance premium in California. Your premium is based on where your car is parked every night. If you have another car (a beater or DD) tell your agent to rate you on that car. That will make your 370Z as an extra car (much lower premium). When your car gets totaled (and assuming your were the at-fault party), State Farm will be paying for your car and for the other party as well. Not to mention if there is bodily injury claim or lawsuit.
