Nice to have another San Diegan get a ZZZZZ. Nice post and sounds like a fun ride. I'm amazed you could keep it under 120. The temptation would have been to great. The brickyard is an awesome color. I hope the State of Calif. does not rip you off will extra sales tax on your out of state purchase. They can be real jerks. Maybe you can find someone's Utah address to use for the first year. Good luck, and hope to see out on the road around town.

My lower back always hurts after 4-6 hours of driving in my 240SX. I get around it by stuffing a T shirt or something down between my lower back and the seat for lumbar support. I was hoping the Z seats would be more supportive but it sounds like I might need to play the same trick.

Shifts are click-click swift, it pops into gears effortlessly with a short throw. Dead Center is where it wants to be, so 2-3 shifts are a thing of beauty!! Watch out for the 5-6 shift, because I found myself doing 5-4 a few times.
Reverse is like on the old old VW Bugs, push down on the stick itself and then move. No problems with reverse if you know that.
