I didn't want to infect this forum with pics of anything but a Z but since you asked and most of us appreciate all kinds of fun cars here are a couple quick shots from the parking lot.

That actually looks like a tempting alternative to the Z and Supra for some people. Great that it's a manual too

@280driver. Seems like I just got the Z. Yes after 3 months and almost 1100 miles driving I can truly say that I Very Much Enjoy owning this car. It is unique and different from other vehicle's in a Sea of Boring cars on the road. Timeless Design Lines and as much as I was hesitant about the Ikazuchi Yellow Tricoat color it is actually a very Eye catching yellow metallic and Pops in the Sunlight. The interior fit and finish is very high quality to my eye given the price tag of the car. The seating position and seats are very comfortable for everyday driving. The initial floaty feel of the suspension feels minimized as I have gotten used to that after 1k miles and am more confident on how the car handles at high speeds and curves. I have had this car up to 134mph and Love the Linear acceleration from the engine/turbo setup. I have had no problems with any Manual Shift grind as experienced by some. There are 2 things I want to change. The factory tires are easy to lose grip with and I do have a set of Continental Extreme DWS 006 EC Plus tires waiting for a set of Nismo Black Rims before I report back with this change. Also I am not satisfied with the overly quiet factory exhaust. I will be placing an order for the NISMO Track Exhaust and will report back on that mod after completed. But overall I would give this car a 8.5 to 9 out of 10 for overall Quality, Design and Driving experience.

So happy to hear you still love your Z and that your 6-speed is working great. keep us updated when you add the exhaust and tires.
