I saw my first NISMO Z today. It was sitting out front at a stealership. It looked awesome and so much better than pictures (which also look great). They wanted $77k for it. This car was black. I’d love to see it in silver.

I have not seen one in the wild yet and live in the Houston area. What I have seen are 240"s and 280"s as well as the newer generations of the Z car.

Finally saw one today. Got a glance of a blue 2023(?) heading north on 93 in NH, around exit 8. I was heading the opposite direction, don't think you spotted me. Anyone here?

I thought i had the only new Z in the entire midwest :crackup:

But I saw a black sport this weekend. Seen some 350 and 370 Z's around and always wave / thumbs-up / point / head-nod. Not a lot of them around here.

Guy at a car-wash in his Supra was super stoked to see my Z and took some pictures of it. I am enjoying the rarity of the new Z in my area.

Seems like with the recent inventory glut and dealer incentives that we might start seeing more Zs on the road. I still haven't seen one besides mine. I drove from San Diego to Bakersfield yesterday (thru LA on the 5). One might think with all that traffic that I might have seen at least one, but. No.

I've spotted 7 new Z's in the wild, not counting Car Meets, Shows, or Events. Spottings were in California and Tennessee:

1) October 16, 2022 @ 9:21 PM. Heading back from an event - Velocity Invitational. This was Z Car Garage's press car.

2) May 19, 2023 @ Nissan North America HQ in Franklin, TN. Press car or employee car, unsure.

3) October 27, 2023 in Escondido, CA - aftermarket exhaust evident

4) June or July 2024, not pictured, a Gun Metallic Performance that flew by in the fast lane on a Bay Area highway. I was driving my Z for this one.

5) July 20, 2024 just north of the Grapevine on Highway 5 in Southern, CA.

6) September 16, 2024 @ a local Costco. The dealership I bought my car from had one displayed - later sold. Blue over Graphite Performance - 6 Speed

7) September 24, 2024. This was a used 2023 Ikazuchi Yellow that my dealership had available for sale since May when I bought my car. It sold, most likely to that test driver, in September 2024.
