The Z06 I owned was rougher,but handled rough roads better because GM actually paid attention to rebound control, and the car stayed planted. The 370Z Sport feels a little stiffer than the base Corvette, but has nowhere near the composure on anything but a billiard-table surface.

How many miles on your Z?

Are you saying the has no composure on anyroad except a billiard table or am I reading this wrong?

I've never had a problem with my Z staying planted even in 3 digits on the stock suspension. The tail with whip hard if you don't know what your doing but its always planted.

I can't say the vettes I've driven fall out of control either. But on streets they hit hard. The suspension feels rough. The car is stable no matter what I do... probably due to the low center of gravity and width. But I felt more bumps in the road in the vettes I've driven than my Z. I must say its not dramatically better in my Z, but noticeably better. That's my experience though... like I said before... I'm a vette fan. Love vettes... I'm not attacking vettes. But my azz knows what it feels.
