sometimes 2 seat isn't that bad. i.e. friends want to go on a trip your response " Ohh man!!! I only seat 2 in my Z " But sometimes it sux. i.e. when you wanna roll with your chick but you wanna take a friend too.

Well 2 seats is the reason I got the Z. Everything I wanted from the Z has been fulfilled.

thats what i was thinking. but the 2 seats is a big selling factor i am tired of having a sedan n giving everybody and their momma a ride n when u ask 4 gas money everyone is all of a sudden broke like all their money fell out of their pockets soon as they were about to enter my car but any other pros or cons to the car? like storage space or visibility?

Pros.... fun car to drive and when your gonna go out you can hop into your buddy's sedan and save gas money Car will turn heads no matter what! when you stop by a gas station there will ALWAYS be a fine honey slapping her goods on your window to show you how cool you are...

Cons... modding is addictive and it's not a supra.. rear end visibility sucks but when you drive a freakin Fairlady everyone will back away from you and give u space storage seriously blows... but you should have expected that when you bought a COUPE. If you want storage buy a beat up truck. A lot of noise but w/e... it's a sports car not a luxury car

He means the car isn't as easy to modify as a supra.

i just bought my z so i'm still in the "newlywed state" but so far i love the fact that it only has 2 seats... i don't like to feel obligated to give people rides. also like that the car is already bad @$$ stock... any mods are just a plus, so it's not like you buy it and MUST go drop a couple g's in mods the day you get it.

Pros: A $30k sportscar that looks and drives more like a $60k sports car.

Cons:
1. STi Fanboys that show up on your forum and won't leave Z owners alone.

2. Countless threads on "should I get an XXXX or a Z" (where XXXX can seemingly range from Evo to Lamborghini LM002)

Pros: Only allows for one friend to tag along for a ride

Cons: I can only take one chick to the closest hotel...(well I guess I could make two trips.. lol)

I love this car the way it is and I would not change a thing.

Cheers,
