No, that would be a Vette.
In some of the "average age" polls that weve done in the past, it was found that while all over the board, most of us are between 20 and 35 (Im 26). Of coarse there are some older guys who bought a Z to have a post children toy, but the Z is by no means an old guy car.
+ 1 on what Risk said...the main "group" of people that will wave are those that mod their cars. The people that mod their cars are people like us who have our own message board! LOL
To some people this car is only a car. They like the way it looks and the price of it, so they bought it. Some people go a step further to become Z enthusiasts...the rest have no idea that the Z has a past and a following. I didn't know too much about that until I got the car...that's when I really started learning about the car(and cars in general).

I don't see a lot of Z's around me. If I do they are usually traveling in the other direction.
Foochdawg, I live in the South Hills by Robinson, if I see you, not that I will know it is you, but I will wave.

Sh*t........here in NJ...you don't look at anyone, could get shot. Don't start with anyone either, will end up ugly. And never, ever wave....the least that will happen is getting the finger.
People in NJ are generally A-holes. They aren't nice at all and have no manners on the road. No one waves at anyone around here.

I'm new to the whole Z culture myself. I've had friends who have been into it for years and now I know how it feels. It's a cool culture and I like the whole waving at each other thing. I live in San Diego and I see like 5+ Z's a day so I kinda just wave to the ones that I make eye contact with. Although I don't really wave to G owners cus they're usually old around here. But seriously Santacruzsilk! 9 million?! WOW!

He's not joking folks, I'm from NJ and I gave all four of the Z owners I saw last sunday the middle finger while driving. (Yes, I am a Z fan.)
These are drivers every where else:
This is Jersey:
The only place that can beat out Jersey in ******** in public and on the road, is NYC...and that's not by much.
theres some decent parts of jersey, just yesterday i came up to a stoplight with a 300zxtt. I looked over and it was some punk looking kid(although thats what most people probably think of me) but a gave a little nod and we both complimented eachothers cars, chatted about how the cops around here are such A$$holes and then went on our merry way(this was in trenton mind you). the 350Z owners generally arent jerks but i dont usually get acknowledged. I do try and give a nod/wave/light signal.
