Love my Z, but....

Black Widow · 11-08-2016, 07:49 PM

Like I said, I love my Z not a single complaint so far but there does not seem to be a lot of "stuff" out there for the enthusiast. Maybe I'm sort of spoiled coming from the Camaro world where you can buy virtually anything with Camaro love on it. Where are all the clothes, jackets, chairs, jewlery, accessories, die cast cars, RC's, etc? There don't even seem to be all that many modifications out there you can get for the cars. Where are the clubs & enthusiasts? I am glad I found this site though. Maybe you guys & gals (actually where are all the female owners?) can tell me if I am just not looking in the right places.

Welcome. It's a very exclusive family

The charm is just that. You get that car and maybe a FOB/Keychain and that's it.

The subtleness of the Z cult is unmatched. Too rare for public eyes.

Z owners tend to buy things like sway bars, coil-overs, FI kits, bushings, shifters, etc. instead of clothes, jackets, chairs, jewelry, accessories, die cast cars and RCs.

Camaros come with mullets too.

Zdayz , Zcon,z nationals.... you shall see. The z fam is real.

We don't need material goods to show off our pride. It's the friends we meet. And believe me I have met a lot of amazing people because of my z.

Memories > possessions

When you consider that annual sales for the Z look like a mediocre month in sales for Camaros and Mustangs, it's kinda surprising we have the aftermarket we do. There's some good stuff available, but not as many options.

That said, I'd still like to find a sharp-looking Z jacket...either leather or light weight wind breaker.

If you want that you need to get a Vette or join the Harley Davidson crowd. For me, it was what bothered me the most when I had my Vette. Some people would come to car shows dressed with Corvette clothes from head to toe. Kinda tacky!

I now love the more subtle and much more exciting world of Z's and Japanese cars in general.

I want those things too but even in performance mods there are just not as many things out there compared even to my V6 Camaro.

That is encouraging. Hope to learn about such things quickly with help from friends here.

Thanks. I had looked at thezstore, meh, not a lot of options there. Glad to see more performance options on the other links than I had found elsewhere. I will start learning & doing my research.
