I'm a huge fan of both cars so I end up missing one when I'm in the other.

If the sports car driving feel is more important to you, keep the Z. If you can give some of that up in favor of power and speed, the 5.0 is a good option. You can still turn it into a corner carving beast, but it's a bigger, heavier car so it's not going to feel like a sports car. The Z is smaller, a little lighter, and generally more direct. It's like if a 5.0 and a S2000 had a baby. A happy medium.
