Big mix north of the border..
In Toronto,
You will see all types driving the Z's n G's.
Mostly young to middle (26-55) aged men driving Z's. Asian/Caucasion/African/Persian/West Indies
Most G's I see are driven by older Caucasion women, usually in the late 40's...
But you do get the odd young male (26-30) Asian/Caucasion/African/Persian/West Indies
Cheers,

When I do notice other Z drivers, they tend to be younger (25-35), rich-looking (can't really tell for sure since I don't roll down the window and ask how much they make), Asian males. It's gotten to be dependable like middle aged white guys and their Corvettes, most of the time when I see another Z, it's usually driven by a young, rich, Asian man. The Z and the S2000 seem to be the rides du jour if you're Asian and make pretty decent money and live in Northern VA. Being an Asian man myself, I take some pride in this.
So who tends to drive Zs where you all are?

Hmm... It's sorta true that most Z's around here are driven by that "type" that you described. The non-Asian, older males usually drive a not modded G instead.

IMO, people who don't know much about cars will gravitate towards the G35 b/c of the looks. To the common eye it looks better. BUT, people who are more of a purest know that the Z is a true sports car.
Yea the Z & s2k is the sport car of the young asian male. Me also being asian I'd take a Z06 over my Z or S2k.

^ that's so steriotypical but i guess it's true in some ways. I see alot of people "not just the asian race" with import cars. My guess is that import cars are cheap and really reliable compared to some domestic cars. Euro cars though are in a whole nother league but lets not get into that.
I see alot of people driving Z's but id say atleast 70% of people i see are within the caucasian race. Some asians but in my area most asians either drive camry's or bmw's/mercedez...

Damn tease I guess i know where to look now. I've only seen one G in the winston-salem area that had two very hot ladies in it. Unfortunately i was in my kia sportage (damn rental) while my car was in the shop.

by me, mostly older guys, and the occasional hot girl. but the ppl around here mod there z's its just rims, and a stereo upgrade. theres only a few z's that actually hav performance parts around here.
(RAISES HAND-I'm in my early 20s, and an Asian male) WHAT! Yeah in socal, on my way to my commute to Hollywood, there are some Asian males with Zs and S2ks, and Sti's and evos. Usually in their 20s as well. There are also some men in there 40s who drive them, but most don't drool at other Z's. They are more c'est la vie.

Reading this thread I am feeling older by the minute. I am 52 and guess what I drive a Z. No I am not rich although I do own other cars and the Z is my fun car but all of a sudden with all you young bucks out there I feel as if I should be driving a Buick or something...haha. It is funny because the other two Zs I know of in town are driving by people OLDER then me. See we OLD folks in Ohio just love our sports cars!!!!
