Not with my Z but it happened on 2 occasions, both with rental cars.

1. i was driving like 70mph on the freeway, this big black bird flew across the freeway then bam, it hit the passenger door right on the glass. Glass didnt break but i could see the bird laying on the freeway from my rearview mirror.

2. I was driving like 25 mph on public street then i saw a pigeon walking on the street. I steered towards the pigeon and was sure that it would fly away. it turned its head, saw my car, flapped its wings but it was too late. it was laying flat on the street from my rearview mirror. My wife was in the passenger seat and i got an hour long lecture from her afterwards.

This is a bonus:

3. I was driving like 85mph on the highway in a remote area. Then a bigazz tumbleweed ran across the two-lane highway. I dodged it...barely. but the car behind me wasn't so lucky. he couldn't dodge it and hit it head-on. The tumbleweed got stuck in front of his car. He pulled his car over to the side of the freeway and i could see smokes coming out from his radiator. I know he must be swearing at me.
