new Z - what are the positives?

[Kbl911]

There's nothing exclusive about a Z, except maybe this new one that most previous owners won't be able to afford or want to pay as much for. There's TONS of 350Zs and 370Zs on the roads and most of the owners don't give a flying fuck about each other or the culture behind the car. At least this has been my experience since 2005. Maybe that changes with the new Z? Hopefully.

Operative word was "relative," firstly, as in compared to other sports cars one might encounter in the US. Think Mustang, think Camaro, think MX-5, think Corvette, even think 911. You get the idea.

And, even living in Naples (where seemingly every car is a sports car, an exotic car, or a high end luxury vehicle) a Z is still an uncommon car. You just don't see many of them relative to other vehicles of their general description. This is particularly true of the 370Z which, as far as total US sales numbers are concerned, is even uncommon compared to the 350Z (over twice as many of those were sold during its run).

It's not impossible that there are areas of higher concentration for Zs, or for any particular car, there just aren't nearly as many of them on the roads as the aforementioned sports cars. One's experience will surely vary, but it's somewhat rare for another Z driver not to acknowledge me, assuming it's practical to do so.

I rarely see Z cars in Central Indiana.

It better be nice and it is. It costs $500 as an accessory.

Red, Green, Blue. RGB LED which can make any colour you want . So you can colour match it to the car, or any other colour you choose.
I assume it's just white LED.
