I live in Maryland, near Baltimore, and I see maybe two or three a week. They are not to common here. I still get the same question at least a few times a week," What kind of car is that." I kind of like it that way. Sounds like there is alot more on the west coast.

Default Johnson County, Kansas

(Kansas City suburb)

There are quite a few, but “far between”.

I see only about 2 a week, only about once a week now in winter. Unfortunately there a couple Silverstone (my color) in my immediate community. I’ve never seen any Brickyards or DB though. Tons of SS & CS, a few Redlines, PPW & Black. There are also several silver G35 coupes in the area.

It’s still a “head turner”. Still lots of stares & comments.

I'm in Richmond too, drive my Z almost every day to work, and I hardly see any. Randomly I did see 3 Lemans' in a span of 10 minutes, but other than that, they're pretty rare.

i live in a suburb of philadelphia and drive into the city every day for work, i have only seen 20-25 Z's since they came out last year. I'm sure a bunch of those sightings were duplicates. so probably only say about 15 different Z's in my area.

I live in the Kansas City area and have only seen a handful (granted it's the same ones over and over again, they almost all have vanity plates). Pretty rare yet in these parts.

North Texas area. I rarely see Z's, I see G's all day everyday though (4 door versions). They are like accords. I agree about seeing the same Z's over and over. I recognize the drivers when I see the Z pass by now.

Really? I agree that there are a lot but I've never seen 10 a day(everyday) and I have a 1 1/2 hr commute (one way) to downtown.

I live in Long Island, NY and commute to queens everyday(not with the Z, thank god). So far I have seen 2 SB, 1 PPW, 2 DB, 2 LS, 3 SS, 5 CS, and 1 Redline. Daytona Blue is a color that really surprised me, it looks infinitely better in real life than the washed-out pictures(not too photogenic).

That's amazing that you can remember all of those! I barely remember what I ate for lunch today.

I haven't noticed the G35 sedans here. I would imagine there are a few. The coupes are pretty rare, however. Does anyone know if they make white face guages? I haven't been able to find any on the net anywhere.

As mentioned in other posts there are many here in Southern California. I own a SS Roadster and there is a SS Coupe about 10 houses up the street from me. There is also another SS Roadster in my same neighborhood...maybe 1 mile away! I couldn't believe it when I drove by and saw that car....so much for thinking I'd have the only one around for awhile.

In portland oregon, I see one Z everyday at the parking structure I park at but other than that, I see about one Z on the road every two to three weeks. In one day however I've seen about 5 of them in a span of 1 hour.

I hope they are rare. Every nissan dealer in this area I drive by still has the same Z's sitting on their lot that I saw a few months ago.

I think sales will pick up in the spring.
