I felt the same way about the Z that it was a luxury sports car vs my RSX which was more sporty. Now since I have had the chance to break the Z loose around a few corners and attempt to do donuts it feels like my RSX only I have had so much more fun in this car and I have had it for less than a month!
Now that I re-read my original post I think I was just missing my 350 =). Anyway, it really did take me a few months to start enjoying this car as a daily driver. I now have about 3.7k miles. I don't want to rehash everything I've said before, but I miss the mechanical and raw feel of the 350. And to be honest I'm aching to actually drive a 350 again or even my old 350 just to see if I really am missing something.

The 370 is in my opinion is a blast to drive (above 4k). You can't really compare the two in this aspect because the 370 is a much more capable car. But that doesn't mean the 350 is less fun. If you've ever driven a lesser powered car like a Miata, you know what I mean. I'm a conservative driver (had too many speeding tickets and a racing ticket in my past). But yes, I do like to do some spirited driving on certain roads. And that's when I really fall in love with this car! I've not had a chance to track the car due to the recent rain storms. I'd like to do some autoX at the Q this month or head up to Fontana for a real track day, and have some real run. All in all, my opinion is not as strong as they were in my original post, and I still miss my 350. But in my world I can't have both, but I'll happily choose the 370.
