There is a great article in this months Evo Magazine from GB. They compare the Z, BMW 330 ci, Alpha Romeo 156, Audi TT Quattro, Holden Monaro (Same as the Pontiac GTO), and the Chrysler Crossfire. Anyway, the Z wins the comparo - if you have access to this magazine, it's worth a read. BTW - gotta say that the Alpha is a pretty sharp looking car, unfortunately its a front driver.
