Have a look in the Autocross/Road Race forum. We've been discussing the subject for tire trailers.

Curt mfg makes one for the Z. Availlable at www.etrailer.com

Thanks kolia, this is the one I saw a while back but haven't been able to find it since. I not to happy that the bumper has to be trimmed, but I guess its better than a visible bar going across.

I installed a trailer hitch on my Z to tow my race tires to the track. I have pictures of my tire trailer on the thread listed above. The hitch is black so it is just slightly visible under the rear bumper. Trust me, it will not detract from the looks of your Z. Most people do not even notice that I have a trailer hitch installed.

lol here we go again....nothing wrong with a hitch on a sportscar...go to Indian point and look at the guy who tows a speedboat in with a fking Ferrari, I towed a harley trailer with my Vette with Zero problems, so your not gonna have any problems with a small trailer towing a sea-doo.

Be careful if you're going to launch that thing on stock tires, don't wanna see your car slide into the water because the ramp is slippery. People have enough problems with level road as it is.

I tow a PWC with my 4X4 SUV. A lot of the boat ramps around here are steep, and I see alot of 2WD pickups slip'n and slide'n while pulling stuff out'a the lake. I saw one bust a joint last weekend.

Although I think it would look cool towing it behind my Z (cause I got the Black Yamaha Cruiser High Output 160 hp) I know that it would not be easy to load and unload it.
