Default 20's. 40's +. Who's buying their Z's

I have finally got to a point where it is time to buy MY car, and I've chosen the Z. I just want to know how many seasoned and less seasoned folks have Z's. Keep in mind.... I envy the youngsters, but I on the older end of the spectrum, empathize with the seasoned folks.

Never would have even thought to look this topic up to be honest. The Datsun 240 came out before I was born. The 350Z captured my heart but I didn't see a need for a sports car when you could buy a Hayabusa for a third the price and go faster. To be honest after my 2014 ZX14R, that thing just permanently had the devil on my shoulder, did I finally venture to buy a sports car. Now in my 40's and my good friend bought himself a 350Z Roadster I finally pulled the trigger on a Z. I think I waited just the right amount of time because the 15/16 Nismo 370Z is the sexist thing on four whelels. I love this car and it is and will be my DD.

From what I have experienced here in the forum, Looks like Z owners are in between 30s - 60s. It's nice to know that people here are respectful and mature. (occasional bad apples surface here from time to time)

26+ seems to be the general population, no? The age at which the insurance cost is reasonable could strongly contribute.

The mean age here was a bit older than I expect.

I just turned 65. I've been a sports car enthusiast all my life. My biggest fear is getting arthritis so bad that I'll have to buy an automatic. I know autos are getting better but whenever I drive my winter beater, which is an automatic, it is just soooo boring.
