I noticed that when you push both the buttons on the right side of the dash and hold it for 2 secs it give an instant 20hp boost (for coming out of corners).

Okay so the Mirror turning when you turn the steering wheel all the way is a load of bull, unless it comes only in the 06 models...

Found the extra power outlet under the passenger airbag. Also found that handle behind the passenger seat to automatically lift the seat. (Bought the car with a Cargo thing behind the passenger seat never seen the lever).

Simple things impress me. Attention to detail.

I was cleaning the interior last week and when I opened the door to clean the jambs, I noticed the Z emblem in the vents leading to the doors.

That is tooooooo coool.

I'm gonna be honest, I've had the Z for almost 3 years now.. and this morning.. I finally discovered how to roll all the windows down using the alarm remote.

I was absolutely amazed.

not reading the manual ever ftl

In the '06 models (not sure about others)

If you take out the foam/rubber pieces at the bottom of the cup holders on the doors, a water bottle can fit nicely in there and not fall out on hard turns.

Also, I love the silent alarm feature!!!

Really? Where the hell is it?
I guess I'll add -
No real glove box (good thing I don't have CD changer...I guess).
Spray nozzle ON the wiper arm.
Bulge on the hood ('07).
Side airbags (realized this at the dealer...I had no courage to step away and find one with 'bags... the Z sucked me right in).

I didn't read all the posts,so did anybody mention that the headlights go off automatically?If you shut down the car and walk away with the lights on,in about four minutes they'll turn themselves off.Betcha didn't know the Z actually has automatic lights.
Also,the little rear windows are plastic.

LOL! Well, at least you found it. Did you try rolling them back up with the key in the door? That is a neat trick as well.

Not only the ones in the door, but the center console cup holders have built-in LEDs as well

there's supposed to be a little tab to pull under the rear strut bar to open the hatch from the inside.. i quickly ran my hand under there the other day and didn't feel anything. i should take a closer look when it's light out.
