(Alas, we have to wait until we decide whether or not to trade up on the minivan before considering a late model 2-seater....the last thing I want is TWO car notes.)

Having driven the Z and the G35, I would say that each car has it's own characteristic. For a daily driven car, I would pick the G35 coupe for its comfort and style. For a track car, the shorter wheelbase of the Z and the additional HP makes a big difference.
However, in comparing the Z to the RX8 or the S2000, the Z feels notably less nimble and you definitely feel the weight in quick transitions more than the RX8 or S2000. In the end, the Z is still a decent track car, especially with the torquey motor, but my personal preference lies with nimble sportscars which is why the S2000 still lies at the top of my list in this category. Of course, that is just personal preference.
