I attended the Glendale AZ visit you guys did, and have some feedback since you're asking:
1. You folks were out an outdoor mall, and I had a little trouble finding you. Some signs or something would have been handy. I was also confused as to whether I was supposed to park with everyone who had Zs and Gs, or if that was for some kind of VIP.
2. I was a little disappointed that there was not a handout. In fact, I seem to remember being fooled by that, because there was a table, opposite the DJ that had some stuff on it, but I believe it was just junk.
3. I would have liked for you guys to give it a quick drive by the crowd, so we could have heard what the exhaust sounded like, as well as the rev match blip.
4. I'm not sure how you could pull this off, but I was interested in getting some pictures, but found that to be too difficult because you couldn't get people away from either car for even a couple seconds.

That being said,
I liked the variety between the two cars.
It was nice to have music.
It was great how you pretty much let us do whatever we wanted to the cars (I pulled up the back carpet and took the woofer out of the spare tire to see how it worked).
The staff was more knowledgeable of the car than I was expecting out of some non-nissan employees.

As for my thoughts on the Z itself:
The interior is leaps and bounds above not only my 350, but my previous C6 and C5 vettes.
The handling it awesome. Although I have not had an a-- calibration, I would say it handles every bit as well as the vettes, and far better than my previous GTO, Trans Am, SSR and so on.
Although it is technically faster than my 02 trans am, it actually felt slower. That may have something to do with the torque, I'm not sure.
The trunk of the 70 is much easier to use than the 50. Moving the bar forward was a great idea.
