the Z will always be more fun to drive because the Vette has numb steering. Hoepfully Chevy fixes this for the next gen Vette. We used to have an 06 Vette and that was my only complaint about the car, the steering input was very bad. As for the handling of the Vette it is no where as good as the Z. I've done autocross with both my 370z and the C6 vette and Z just blows it away. The steering of the Z is much better and for tight corners the Z is just much better. Now on long sweeping turns that you would see on a road course or ....um.. fwy.... the Vette is very comfortable there.

I'll say this, the Vette does a lot of things better than the Z, but what the Z does better than the Vette makes up for it. Driving the Z just feels so much better. I still miss the explosive power of the Vette though. And if Nissan doesn't do something like FI for the next gen Z I'll be getting the next gen Vette.
