How many Z owners actually read the manual?
How many Z owners actually took the time to go thru the manual?
Seems like alot of the questions posted are covered in the manual.

I read it front to back but that's because I was so dang excited to finally have it in my garage...
I do find the Nav manual to be quite tedious to read. Its more or less been trial and error for me.

I just look at the pretty pictures....
Kidding. Actually, I downloaded the thing off the net and read it from front to back in one sitting at least a month before I got my Z. How **** is THAT?

I read it!
Same as some others, I downloaded the PDF, and read it cover to cover before the car came.
But even more than that, I printed it out double-sided, and bound it with a nice color picture of the Sunset prototype on the cover. I use this one as much or more than the real one that came with the car because I printed my copy on 8.5 x 11-inch paper, and it's easier to read.

Beat this!
Oh yeah? Well my Z is on order and won't be here until at LEAST June and I have already read the PDF online. I also bought the CD of shop manual and have started looking at that for ideas!
Who says Z owners are competitive?!??

of course
When you have to wait 7 months or so for your car like 6,000 of us did and all that was available was the manual. Of course you read the manual. The Z manual must be the most read manual in the history of of the auto industry.

I skimmed through most of it before leaving the dealership.
From some of the questions asked here, I have a feeling that many people don't read it. ("What time of light in my high-beam?")
