You & I are scary close. My first car was a 1958 TR3. I had a 72 (I believe) Norton 750 commando hi rider. I'm 68 now & loving my second Z.

Bought my first '16 Z at 40-something. I do not believe it will be my last Z.

27, about to turn 28. The Facebook page is a much younger demographic.

2007 VFR RWB 25th Anniversary Edition. Full Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, A&A Perf Supercharger. :D Sold not long ago, a '03 RC51. Should have kept that bike.

I'll be 61 in a few weeks. I have driven pretty much nothing but sports cars since I was about 20. The last time I had a car with an automatic transmission was in 1982. If I ever buy an old guy car like a Buick or Ford sedan you may as well hang a tag on my big toe because I'm done.

I'm 26 going on 27, and I've had my Z for almost 6 months now.

I learned to drive on a 71 240Z, had 3 Camaros, 2 Vettes and I bought my 2012 2 years ago when I was almost 58. I'll turn 60 in October, and I'm looking at a Cayman S for the next car (keeping the Z). From here on out, if it has more than 2 doors, I ain't interested (well, except for a Juke or Rogue to haul tires). :tup:

I bought my 350z at 21 the week I graduated the police academy. Then I got my 370z at 24 after my 350z was totaled from being rear ended by a drunk driver. I'll be 28 in May.

The 350 captured my heart as a sporty import when I was younger and wanted one for the longest time, finally at the age of 27 I had the employment and the disposable income to afford the car of my dreams... bought the 370 and have not regretted it for a minute. I'm 28 now... I could see a nismo in my future but I'll be buying a house before that happens

Just turned 48. Bought my first z 30 years ago..

gonzales25 04-26-2016 02:13 PM

Good to know I'm not the only old guy here (46).. Bought my first Z 2 years ago, 2014 Roadster just now getting around to adding mods.

Zerafian 04-26-2016 02:36 PM

Just like the 350z or any nice, mid range "sports" car, most owners would be in their 30s to 50s the first few years that the car is released. After that the age starts to drop due to them being cheaper and cheaper.

Only reason I can say that is I watched it happen with the 350z. When I bought my old one in 05'. It was rare to see them still and most owners, not all, were at least 10 years older then me, stupidly bought mine at 22.

MagmaRed370z 04-26-2016 03:23 PM

This is my 3rd Z. Im glad that everybody is enjoying their Z :driving:

All the best,

Now that you've owned both, what's your impression .... Looks, feel, drive?
