A couple of random thoughts
A couple of random thoughts I'd like to share. BTW: Both make me very very happy... [good for the mojo!]
1. The Z wheels (especially the Rays) will be very easy to clean. I don't mind washing a car but I always think the wheels are a real pain in the bottom. . That's "***" for the Americans in the group.
2. I haven't seen people discussing the C&D statement that referred to the pedals being great for Heel & Toe. This is a big deal for all those planning to drive the 6sp in a spirited manner across the countryside. Two thumbs up Nissan!
Does anyone have any small details they'd like to share which make them especially happy with the Z (other than "performance", which we'll continue to talk about until the cows come home - me included)?

Yes, I would like to comment on the quality of the interior. I remember discussion going on about a comment that was made either from the December R&T or from a early drive of the G35 about the sub-par quality of the interior. I feel it exceeded all my expectations. Just wait for the real write-up's in all the magazines. I think Nissan did a great job, just about on par with VW and Audi.

2. Based on the blue car at Capital Nissan, the pedals were nicely spaced for heel-toe. Not quite as close together as a Miata or S2000, but certainly close enough to make heel-toe very easy.
There was one thing I found very strange about the clutch pedal. It's a little too high. With my heel resting on the floor, it seems that the clutch pedal isn't on the ball of my foot, but rather the tips of my toes (size 11, btw). Did anyone else notice this?
