Which kind of people drive the Z in your area?
I live in Northern VA, a pretty rich area which is awash in BMWs but only a few Zs here and there (thank goodness).
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?

Well, in my area (central NJ) i tend to see that the Z drivers are younger male drivers (20's to early 30's). I'd say only 1/10 are female drivers. Surprisingly not many are asian (BTW, i am asian.)
mostly older men in my area. Not too many Z's in New Hampshire. I go several weeks on end without seeing another one. When I do see one its normally an older (35-45) year old white male.

One will see a lot of women drive Zs, but mostly 20-30 male that don't seem that affluent.
BTW, my Corvette club is about 100 active members. Out of the 100 members 75% are 35 yrs old or younger. We even have 4 women. I just don't understand the old guy in a Corvette stereotype.

Chicks, rich boys, I know a teacher who drives one, old rich businessmen (they usually drive the roadsters)
Anybody else I wouldn't know...they usually have really dark windows.

I think I've seen one, maybe two Asian guys driving Zs in MD. For all I know, it could've been the same guy....
On 295, 495 and the streets it's been a pretty even mix of younger guys (Black, White) and the occasional woman.

sAll types of people. Young black women & men, men in 40s, women in 40s (saw one drivin a M/T), rich young persians wearing tight designer jeans and basicly people in 20s and 30s.
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.
