Can someone tell me how the z4 compares to a corvette? I covet both
these cars but I've only driven the corvette. I hear the z4 is even
better to drive and it's not as common, which is cool. I've heard the
z4 can be jerky for the first 5000 miles, is that true? Here's a link
to the two cars: http://vlane.com/comparison/2363

As far as power goes, the Z4 can't touch the Corvette. But, the Z4 is much more luxurious. The Corvette has the trademark GM poor quality interior, plastic-y dash, etc.

Corvette's are actually very well behaved on the roads for daily driving, although I'm sure the ride quality in the Z4 is better, since is is an all around car not just a performer.

I would take a Corvette over a Z4 anyday, but that's just me.
