What attracted me to the Z? It's a no holds barred sports car with good straight line acceleration and excellent handling. I also like the heritage that it has with over 40 years of production. I pretty much drove every other reasonably priced sporty cars out there before I decided on the Z. Here are the cars I drove in order of favorite to least favorite and why I didn't buy them:

'13 Subaru BRZ: handles really well, nice exhaust note, pathetic straight line performance
'13 Camaro RS V-6: handles well, liked heads-up display, good acceleration, big and heavy
'13 Mini Cooper S: handles good but torque steer, good acceleration, too boxy
'13 Mustang GT: good acceleration, nice exhaust note, liked retro interior, bad body roll
'13 Mazda Miata: handles nice, too slow and too small inside
'09 Base Corvette: too fast, plastic interior, not enough gray hair to pull it off

Of course my favorite ride was the 370Z. For me it's the perfect balance of straight line performance, handling, and it just looks like a sports car should.
