If your Z is something that you bring out only on the weekend, fine, but don't tell me I can't bring mine out whenever I like. I think the designer of the S2000 said it best (paraphrased) "impractical only for those who don't understand the joy of driving."
I am sure some people will be mile hoarding clock watchers and only drive their Z's 2,000 miles a year. Others will beat the hell out of theirs and put 25k miles on every year. Everyone is different, and people will buy their Z's for different reasons.
Not to mention that not everyone can afford to have multiple cars, and some may even think it wasteful to have more than one.
Things are a bit different in Washington D.C. than in Atlanta weather - wize. Weather conditions you have to face has to be a significant consideration when you are talking about any vehicle as your ONLY vehicle...I went through the winter of '73/'74 in Chicago (Great Lakes) in a 1973 Trans Am; I made it through but it wasn't much fun and I'd never do that again!

I agree, if you are willing to put-up with what a sports car can't do in terms of capacity, etc. then you can certainly live with one year round as a daily driver but a rear-wheel drive sports car with wide summer-compound tires (or even all-season for that matter) is not fun in snow/ice. and DC gets its share of both.

Just my $0.02
