Age of Nissan Z owners

[5amp5on]

55

I was always a Chevy guy my first sports car was a 1974 Firebird. Then 1986 IROC. Then a 1998 Z28.

I always wanted a 300 ZX twin turbo since one of my buddies 1986 beat my IROC in a roll race, but I never got one. My wife of 28 years always wanted a 1990's era 300 ZX TT.

I took my daughters 2023 Sentra to the dealership for service and in the waiting room I saw this gun metal Z Performance sitting there and I fell in love at first view of that retro rear end. I texted my wife some pics and she said "let's get it!". I literally did not know the Nissan Z existed. I was never fond of the 350 or 370 for some reason.

We took delivery the next morning. We love this car, it's so much fun and people come up to look at it often when we are out in it.

This is the first pic I took/sent her:

32 years old. Never owned a Z car before, but my first manual car was a 1999 Maxima SE.

The new Z was supposed to be my 30th bday present to myself in 2022, but we all know how launch went, so after waiting it ended up being my 32nd bday present to myself in May 2024.

My 2023 Performance rosewood MT was to be my 60th bday present and it was. I was on a wait list for year and a half with a Denver l but ultimately found mine at a Kansas dealer Got it in April 2023! 5 months after my Bday but close enough

Retired last week so now more time to drive it and our 2008 Saturn Sky Redline!

just under 6000 miles on Z and had the hood recall done last week otherwise no issues other than those slippery rear tires LOL!
