I never see any ZRs. I see tons of Zs because I live near a Nissan dealership.

I think the weather out here is amazing and there is no reason NOT to have a vert. I don't get it. But my ZR turns a lot of heads so I guess I can't complain.

I see 2 to 3 a day - black or white. Then again I see tons of convertibles here. Florida weather is great, except for these ridiculous cold fronts that keep coming through. I'm almost ready to move to Puerto Rico, the cold fronts never seem to make it that far south.

I see a bunch of 40 year old ladies who could care less about their car driving ZR's in my area, which is disappointing

Depends on the time of day...but usually I see around 1-3 during my 20 minute drive to work. Around 5pm though I'll usually see 2-4, I work near a college and they leave class when I leave work.

So every week I might see 30..but I think its the same 5 or 6 all the time.

Right now, the winter time in Michigan keeps the ZRs at home. So I rarely see any. Occasionally I see a coupe. (And I work 2 miles east of Nissan's Engineering Center in Farmington Hills, Michigan.)

During the summer, I might see 1 per day. Like mentioned above, older women. Damn! Very disappointing indeed.

I rarely see any at all here on the island which is very surprising considering the weather... I might see one, once in a great while, maybe every 2-3 weeks. Everyone out here seems to like the coupes, which was verified at one of the local dealerships out here, as I was asking a very similiar question. I have attended a few meets out here for a local Z crew, and out of 20 Z's or so, it was only me and another guy with verts...

The ZR is the epitome of a sports car.

That's why older women love them - after sacrificing fun to shuttle kids and groceries around for years, they deserve to start enjoying the drive.

I don't believe the women you see in ZR's "could care less".

In my part of So Fla, I see a lot fewer ZR's than the great weather allows - maybe because everybody's got families and needs a trunk.

i just see them scratched up and fully stock and dirty all the time, not the same level of enthusiasm as you'd usually see from other owners. not that they dont love their car, just don't care enough to maintain it as well I guess.

you'll see a black one if you drive near berkley.

You know how when you buy a new (different) car suddenly every time you turn around you see one of the same ones you just got? Well, I bought my ZR late last year and so far I have only seen ONE other Z on the road, and it was a pumpkin-orange coupe. Granted, this weather keeps all but the DDs inside, but still. I also am curious how many Zs Nissan sold (coupes, roadsters, and total, by year), and after Googling the shat out of it fifty-ways-to-Sunday I still haven't been able to find the numbers. Anybody?...anybody?... Bueller?

I hardly ever see them around here. There is one guy that never gets his out. Its an 05 with maybe 15K miles. Then every once in a great while I will see the purple colored one and then mine. I see the coupes quite often though.

Weeks go by that I don't see a ZR here in my part of NJ, and that's during the spring/summer.
