What do you think?

+1 Actually i agree with this....i think it would be neat if the Z ONLY was offered in 6 spd. Then it would have more exclusivity for a new car, kinda like the S2K.

That would be nice but I could never see Nissan sacrificing the sales. Imagine if Chevy stopped production of the Auto Corvette, GM would already be bankrupt (instead of a year from now )

how can you call driving stick too much work, it's part of the enjoyment of driving a Z (or any other sports car). If you just want to "enjoy" the car, you might as well go get a PS2 and GT4.

And that's the same reason many of us bought a "stick".

If you are seeing Zs a lot, and don't like it. Go get wheels, go get 2006 taillights and keep your car clean at all time, now that would be different from other Zs because that is what my Z looks like. I see Zs, but like some of you have said, not too many modded. I love the Z that you can dress it to your taste to separate from the crowd.

Seeing a lot of Z's on the road just means it's a success.

Whats the difference there are C6 vettes everywhere now.

The Z is in it's 4th model year now. That means there are more and more used Z's and even more with time. So now their is a supply of used, thus cheaper Z's that folks who couldn't afford the $34K price tag can now afford the $20's price tags.

and that is how i got mine.

i see the z as two different cars. one is the stock z that you see everywhere. 95% of the zs i see are stock. and the other z is the modded z. this car is very mod friendly; it looks bad-*** when modded. you can't say that for too many other cars.

one thing i do like about the zs that are modded is that most z owners who mod don't do it cheaply. sure i've seen a couple ugly ones, but for the most part, z owners know quality and what looks good. oh yeah, for the ugly z, i seen a z with spinners last week. i thought that would never happen, but i guess i was wrong.

Even though Nj is 6th on the list, I see 5 times as many G's on the roads then Z's, maybe more. Trying to get a new '06 has been hard as hell but mine is coming next week, Silverstone w/ Charcoal Touring!! So psyched I've slept 4 hours all week!

My 350Z is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its engine. I will keep my 350Z clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other.
Before God I swear this creed. My 350Z and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
lol...that made my day.
