It definitely is a rare(r) machine on the road, and I like that. Too many Porsche, Corvette, Mercedes, and waaaay too many Mustang/Camaros here.

My opinion: for whatever it's worth-
Get the 370Z as a DD. If you want a track car, then get something you can build for the type of track you run (even if another Z). I run Club Rally, and my DD has to be very close to stock.
Running 1/4mi straights would make me want a V8 with higher base HP that can mod easily. Running straight rally, I would want a EVO or STi.
I wouldn't dare try to buy a EVO or 5.0 Mustang to use as a DD and then try to run 1/4mi or pro-rally with it. That would make it about useless on my DD.
The 370Z fits right in the middle. I can use as a DD, run my laps with the SCCA *as-is*, and if I choose, I could take it down the straight for a modest run (though I wouldn't do it often).
What part of the QC are you in? In South Charlotte I see at least a 370z every other day.

In regards to OP, I DD my 370z and have taken it on long road trips (>1500 mi). Hasn't given me any problems and is pretty comfortable. I've gotten used to the blind spots, and it's tons of fun! Road noise is fine for a small sports car with tires right behind your back (and different tires can make it quieter). I get around 17mi city, 29 hwy
