I know so. I've test driven everything from a Porsche Cayman to the Vette and all the muscle cars in between. The 370Z is the champ in this class by fact, not opinion. Go test drive one yourself and read the the articles on this car. It's basically almost a GTR without turbos. And the interior design is amazing, suede and leather everywhere, like out of a $100k car, even better than the Porsche. Headroom is my only gripe. And the engine bay is a work of art. At $33k, I don't know of anything that comes close.
P.S. The only new sports car that would come close is probably the Lotus Elise, but I think the MSRP on that is above $45k.

Re: 350z???
It's hard for me to pass up a challenge in terms of a race but you no something, we should do what this car was really made to do. CRUISE and look good. Take some lessons from the guy's in LA with low riders. CRUISE, look cool and enjoy the ride. Let the a.. holes who pull beside you and rev their engines take off and wonder whether or not you would have beat them. Hard for me to do, but I'm working on it. Don't need any tickets for street racing or even worse an accident.

Re: 350z???
I owned a 2008 350Z...Nice ride, but I got rid of it after a year. The 370Z maybe be better mechanically, but it looks like a shoe to me. LoL! I think they need to lower the sticker near the price of the Mustang and Camaro to really sell. Glad to see the Nismo finally has an engine upgrade; this should've been done long ago.
IMHO, the Crossfire immediately says this is car is driven by an adult...the surprise is when you see someone under 30 in one. In the Z, the surprise is when you see someone over 30....Both two great two seaters, but somehow apples and bananas.
I enjoy them both....so I guess I am a hybrid of sorts.

Dude, I don't care what you drive, or what era you have driven in...nothing compares to a Vette! Nothing my friend! To me, a Porsche is just a Porsche....all models are some sort of stiffened VW...(kidding)...but will someone please dismantle the design team....or have them develop one. Everything looks the same...

Re: 350z???
all I know is everyone and I mean everyone no matter what they have (350z, WRX, VW, Camaro, BMW, STI and the list go's on and on) want my car. The best part is when they say sure you got lots of $ so of course you have a nice fast car or something to that point or of course you beet me but my car only cost *whatever* and If i put as much $ in my car that you payed for yours bla bla bla. Its so funny when I tell them how much I Payed. There eyes get wide and they just hang their head low. Be it after I give them a ride 
. BANG for the buck you cant get better and the looks from every one I pass just never stop putting a grin on my face
