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.
They already fixed it. 2008.
Yeah, it could probably be fine-tuned some, but with the size of the tires they are running up front, I dunno how much. The Z runs a lot narrower tire up front, so of course it will feel like it gives more feedback. They did re-tune the steering, though.
