Does making someone regret trading his Z count? At the last Evolution school we hosted, I let a former Z owner ride shotgun on course. His response was something like, "Damn! I didn't know a Z could do that!!!" I told him the C-6 vette he traded it on could do even more, once he gets used to the sport. But he still suggested that he might not have bothered trading the Z if he had known.

You know you want it, just wait until you actually drive the car yourself

F*ck you James. F*ck you. lol
I will not drive the that car... maybe. I hate myself. lol


But as far as inspiring someone. I think that it takes a ride in a Z to really let you know if you love it or not.

I bet everyone regrets it now. Zs are the Camrys/Accords of sport cars now.

I took a co-worker for a ride and he bought a roadster a few months later. After that I turboed my car and he liked that as well but he just about crapped his pants when I told him how much it cost, I don't think he will be going FI anytime soon.

Well, I sold Nissans back in 03, and at the time our dealership wasn't giving anyoe test drives with out the whole credit check/ commit to buy etc, citing the Z was still rare and no one wants miles on it. So, being young and stupid, I let certain customers drive my Z for a bit... sold more Z's than the other salesmen for a few months

As for letting my gf get a Z: never, ever. I am not sure I would want her in a RWD daily driver until she actually learns how to handle them safely... and she would need a winter beater. Unless my girl was really in to cars and knew her stuff, it just wouldn't be safe.

When I got my ZR last summer,everyday I would get off work at 7:00AM, take a 45 min cruise, go home & wash my car. And everyday, my neighbour would be leaving for work, come over, check out the car, laugh that I wash it all the time, and ALWAYS mentioned he wished he could get a car like that.

Then in September, I was coming home from work, pulled up to my garage, and look over only to see him pull up in a fully-loaded 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder! It wasn't a Z but he was happy! He didnt want a ZR cause I had one so it was still a great choice IMO.

Also, when I brought my car home, within 2 weeks my mom bought a 2007 Dodge Caravan, my brothers GF bought an 08 Jeep Liberty & my dads waiting for the 2010 Challenger. I started something big!

I just picked up my Track a few weeks ago but have always been a fan of the Z and have always had some type of sports car, my last ride was a 99 VR-4 but anyway a friend of mine wasnt into the Z all that much until he saw my new Track for the 1st time last week. He bought a 04 Touring S/B 6 M/T tonight because of mine

Yea my GF hates the fact that is a 2 seater and you can hear the motor and i cant hold her hand while i drive because of the 6 speed and she basically has to yell out me cause how loud it is inside and she says it hurts her back when you hit bumps and i drive to fast.

My parents were checking out roadsters at the dealership when I took them to see the car I was buying. Also, less than a month after I got mine, one of my friends showed up with an 03 touring. More Z's just means more fun though.

Default We don't need no inspiration . . .teacher leave those kids alone

No one I know who has or wants a Z needs inspiration from me or any other third party. Either you want and/or drive (any sports car better than a Z) a Z or you just want or drive a car.
