I think you are missing the point I was trying to make. The 'vette is prone to grinding gears due to the increased size of gears in the TR6060 vs. the T56, thus necessitating smaller (less effective) syncro's, while the Z, from what I understand, does not have this issue.
The 'vette body was thrown togather from crap materials with a stellar engine and suspension and a so-so transmission with the sole purpose of being fast--and it is. Handles well, too!
I relate it to having a 3500 square-foot house that has no furniture vs. a 2500 square-foot house that is nicely furnished. Yeah...you got a big house and you spent the same money as the guy with the 2500sq foot, but it's kinda stupid living with it after you get over your advantage on paper, isn't it?
I went from a 350 horsepower car ('01 WS6) that broke literally weekly to my 145bhp INfiniti G20. They handle about the same and the G20 hasn't broken in several months (since I had it).
I like the G. It doesn't rattle, either. Speakers don't crackle. Etc.
