Not true. My car club is mostly Camaros and Vettes. Back when I had my 370z NISMO the Vettes (C7's) had no problem keeping up with my Z on tight canyon roads. And on the other end of the spectrum I never felt like I had to hold back because the Vette in front of me couldn't go fast enough. I can only imagine the new GS being even better. I know my current C6 GS is every bit as nimble as my Z was and obviously faster in a straight. I've auto-x a regular C6 Vette and will agree that it did not feel as nimble as the Z did. You really had to fight to get it to turn in and then on exit you would feel over rotated. The C7 vettes I've driven on canyon roads were no less nimble than my Z and just as confident inspiring. Of course the way a car feels is very dependent on the person driving it, but I've never felt the C7 (regular or Z51) was lacking in any way compared to the Z. I'm sure the new GS is even better
