Since you have experience with the 350z you should take a test drive of the 370z and tell us what you think. I took a test drive of the 370z and I thought it was comfortable, but i'm a short dude. If you get a chance to test a 370z let me know, cause I would like to hear your feedback. I plan on buying a 370z sometime in the future but I want to wait until the camero comes out and test drive that.

The Z gives much more road 'feel'. Its got a touchy throttle and very responsive steering. Good car for the twisties. It doesnt feel overly nimble, but it rides very low, transmits a good amount of road feel and engine noise, which makes it feel like its going faster than it really is. Good for everything but racing. Makes everything fun. The big complaints i have for the Z's are A. they are just downright uncomfortable. There is no way around this. and B. the closer you get to redline...5k-7k the more the car, and specfically the engine, begin to shake in a way that makes you want to slow down.

The GTO is a completely different animal. Where the 350z makes you feel like your in a cockpit (never looking at the speedometer because your speed is displayed digitally on the dashboard) the GTO is like sitting on a sofa driving a bigger car. It only really has maybe 200lbs on the Z, but it feels much bigger, mainly because, everything is bigger. You sit in a large comfy seat, not much like the racy uncomfortable seats in the Z, the steering wheel is bigger, you ride higher, and all the knobs/displays are bigger. Now if these cars were to race it'd be GTO all the way, HOWEVER the Z feels FASTER when your not pushing the cars because of the touchy throttle. The GTO only really opens up when you open the car up. It drives smooth and big like a sedan until you push it, and then the engine responds. It doesnt feel nearly as nimble or responsive as the Z, but it feels like you could beat the Shit out of the car for hours and not have a problem.
