Other than sitting in traffic for a while, it's not terrible. Jackas$ drivers are everywhere, not just here. You'll be OK.

Well...3 pages in a few hours...that escalated quickly

yeah, Ive noticed the crazies in austin but usually, they don't come my way. They are far away as I'm driving in the distance but I guess the Z is attracting that type of attention >_<

Glad I have a dash cam now.

No haters...i gets lots more digits from guys in the Z than I did in my G. Pumping gas people come over and start conversation very often, sometime annoying when I'm in a rush. What is is? Is it fast? Arrrrrggghhhh sometimes before they start I just say it is just a nissan and it is not nearly as fast as it looks but it's fun to drive. That is how I sum it up when they look like they are going to be annoying. But I love my Lil boy!!!

This is quite shocking to read but I get almost zero, absolutely zero, attention in my Z.

Once in a blue moon another enthusiast, but from day to day people? Maybe a look or two. Nothing more than that.

My s2k got considerably more looks and attention than the Z does.

I've never had anyone tell me to go fvck myself just because of the car I drive. I live in Westcehster, NY, so most people don't even bat an eye. Nothing but nice comments, so far. I did have this GORGEOUS woman tell me "nice car" a couple of weeks ago as I was getting out of it to go to the bank. Of course, I'm no longer singe, so I just smiled, and said "thanks."

Had my Z for about 1.5 months now, gets lots of attention where I am since there's not many Z's here in the GTA (greater toronto area) and definitely not any in my neck of the GTA. Mostly stares, once to the point of almost causing an accident on the highway, guy stared at it until he almost hit me . All good though, most just say it's a beautiful car and want to know the details.

Had another person with Minivan syndrome today. For some reason they had to fly by me on the interstate in the right lane a 100+mph. No idea why, in a minivan of all things. My car wiggled due to that big brick they drove by me.

In NYC girls like the car i hear it all the time on red lights, stop sings, but you do get the as***les cut you off, stop out of nowhere on the highway and more. At this point i dont care, i just want to get from point A to point B in one peace.

Other drivers must be too busy talking on their cell phones to even notice my Z.

Its surprising, But i knew this before i bought the car anyway.

I can see atleast 15 Supercars if i leave my house and drive for about 15 minutes.
But the Z will draw attention everytime. I dont understand why, Its probably bcz its not common around here. Mustangs and Camaros (Sometimes with that muscle v6 lol), No one really cares for them. The New Mustang is beautiful though - For now

I usually get people asking me what car is it. Lol.
Also it attracts Car talks with strangers, Always enjoy that.
All nice comments for now.
