oh yeah. it feels a lot smoother than the crossfire (less rough riding due to the longer wheel base--the wheels are on the four corners, whereas on the crossfire the rear wheels are right behind you). what was said about the rack and pinion steering in a previous post was true. you can feel everything (not in a bad way). the steering feels more precise and sensitive. zero turn lean also. the first night i took it into town i took a 90 degree exit ramp that i used to take in the crossfire at 65 mph; it gripped perfectly. the vdc (traction system that can be completely turned off) is a lot more lenient on letting you punch it also (very little if any lag--i have yet to see the "slip" light come on). i still haven't taken it all the way to 7,500 rpm yet because of the break-in period. the gears are a lot closer in the Z too.

i know a lot of y'all may have tested the old Z, but the new one has an 80% changed engine. i test drove an '03 before i test drove the '07. complete difference. the '07 is a quieter ride (wind noise) with a louder engine and exhaust.
