Default Original '03ers

Hey you guys that have the 2002.5-2003 first models, doesnt it kind of suck that everyone has a Z now a days? I remember back in January of '03 when I got mine, no one had a Z in my town. It felt like haveing a ferrari or something. Now you cant drive 10 minutes without seeing one (I do live in so cal now although). This is no offense to anyone who has a later model, just was trying to see if anyone felt the same thats had a three fifty all along...

I got mine in December of 2002 and it was fun to get lots of thumbs up on the road and lots of attention!

i see Zs EVERYWHERE now...but thats not always a bad thing, i remember when my brother got his Z in 2003, it was like we were the only ones in the state of GA that had one lol, but after i got my Z in 2004 i started to see more and more of them. Most of the people that drove them were, strangely, women and old men. Now i see a lot of younger people driving them due to the fact that you can get an 03 for around 19,000.

There are about 120,000 350Zs on the road. Ford plans to make 160,000 Mustangs this year!

Well when paying $30,000 for a hot lookin', hot running car it did occur to me that others might want one too. I'm not surprised, nor concerned, there are a bunch on the road.

Nissan expected (and meet the expectation) to sell about 30,000 Zs a year; just about the same as Vettes.

I'm happy; okay with me others are getting happy as well.

I did get abit of a break by buying a Brick; only around 2400 of those around.

got my o3 last winter, no one really has them around here, especially modded z's. most ppl just put rims and a system in them and think there speedracer. theres only a couple performance modded z's in my area, including me. there pretty rare here in milwaukee.
