I got my Z too....!!!
Got my Z 2 days ago....Silverstone Touring/ 6MT with all options except Navi.......Having a blast driving it...already put on 200 miles....
The Z is simply awesome !!! A world of difference compare to the MR2 spyder that I traded in.....
The ride is firm yet comfortable...
Cornering is better than the MR2 spyder...
Steering feedback is extremely precise....
Love the slight vibration transmitting thru the Shifter..... I can absolute feel the power....
The exhaust note is totally sweet.....not too load(comparing to the C5vette that my bro has )....and yet...sounded so powerful.....
The shifter is absolutely amazing....going from 1st to 2nd to 3rd...etc.....is sooooo fun...... the short throw...just love it....absolute the best compared to what I have driven b4....(Z is my fifth car in 5 years....92miata...95MR2 na....98 BMW 3series coupe & 2001 MR2 spyder...)
I LOVE THIS CAR.......

How much did you pay for your Z? I see that you got it from Falore Nissan. They quoted me $10k over MSRP late in the pre-order program.

Skywalk - You have the very same configuration that I ordered to the letter. The burnt orange leather is sweet! Looks exactly like the show cars leather. I love it.
Don't know when my cars is coming in but, seeing yours is all the reassurance I need. Can't wait!

Nice!!
Great pics!!
Regarding the MSRP - I take it from your response that you got yours for MSRP - but the dealer also told you that he is currently ready to jack other people who buy at that dealership???
Pls elaborate when you get a chance, and tks for the pics.

CPA.....When this car was ordered back in January...they still selling at MSRP....and I got a pre-order quote..
But now...I heard that they are getting multiple requests on the Z each day.... and when I picked up the car... I saw a Dealer Markup sticker on my car that Stated $5K over MSRP......and also I saw someone posting here that says....they are also possibly asking $10K over MSRP now......
Actually I see this Markup trend of $10k everywhere now.....including Dublin Nissan....and Oakland Nissan......

The ride of the Z is more comfortable comparing to the Z3, eventhough the Z has a firmer suspension and bigger tires... I also think that the Z is more solid in structure... The Z doesn't rattles like the Z3 does ( probably because it's a convertible )....
In terms of pickup.... I am currently not reving my Z above 4k rpm yet....... but according to all the numbers...... the Z should be able to beat out the Z3 handily.....
The Z3's color is actually like a Charcoal Grey.... a few shades darker than the Z's Silverstone...

Bottom Line
Lets get to the bottom line:
You saw a sticker on YOUR car that was 5K over MSRP - but you didn't pay it?
Those other Z's that you saw were obviously preordered - is anyone else from your dealership getting jacked that you know of (as far as the MSRP)?
BTW - my dealer here in Diego said over the phone that the MSRP on my car was the price, period. Note, that was over the phone, so that is why your post is raising an eyebrow or 2!!!
Tks,
Russ
