I have not driven the Z extensively, but MOST of the complaints I hear about drive-by-wire come from throttle-lag. I didn't experience that with the Z. The Z felt connected, the steering-wheel just didn't communicate it, the rest of the car did. The steering-wheel seemed focused on talking to the tires instead of listening to them. You would think I could have related to that, but no. I have not heard any complaints about the GT500's EPAS after the re-calibration offered mid-model. Those guys are too worried about the rear-ends groaning in slow corners and their transmissions not going into 2nd gear.
