Got news for ya. The Z is not a porsche. It's not a vette. It's not so expensive that it's exclusive or rare. Why did anyone buy a Z assuming that this would be the case?

Like Convert said, you can buy one in the low 30's.

And the Mustang will soon be the same.

I'm lucky I live where I do. No one here wants a Mustang, so my car is rare!

:bowrofl:

I live and work in the two richest counties in the US, so naturally the Porsche 911 is the most popular car here. If you can't afford a 911, you buy a 350Z or 370Z. I see probably 10 370s for every 1 5.0. I think I counted 11 370s on my way to work today. I probably see 50+ 350s in a day. :icon17:

Yeah. The DC Metro area is kind of isolated from the rest of the US. Our unemployment rate is only around 6.5% due to so many government jobs and it's just a very rich area. 8 of the 10 richest counties in the US are in the DC Metro area. Our pizza delivery guys drive brand new 335is. :icon18:

Z count on the work today = 0 (although there are at least 2 350 coupes, 2 350 roadsters, 1 other 370, and 1 300ZX in the area)
Mustang GT count = 4 (does the new one say "5.0" on the side, older ones say "GT"?)
CRZ count = 0

So that proves it...

I can count!

Yeah, the 2011s have the 5.0 badge. 2010s just say "GT."

I see a few 2010s but most of the Mustangs around here are V6 models or older GTs. I admit, there are a lot of V6s around, but as far as the 5.0 goes... they are very rare.

Mainly just posers. There aren't many enthusiasts around here. It's all about image. If you're not rolling in a Benz, BMW, or Bentley you're nothing!!! :icon17:

I probably see 5-6 Bentleys on my daily commute. :icon17:

Haha, it's all relative. I think if I lived in an area where they truly were all over the place it might get annoying, but I just like the car so I'm happy. Though a spider has taken up residence in the car so I might sell it and get a GTR.

I have grand dreams of owning a 2012 GT-R, but I'd really need to get a daily driver since I wouldn't want to put 70 miles a day on a GT-R. One day perhaps.

I'm sure I'll own a GTR at some point. I just need to get use out of this car before I move on. I got 1.5 years out of the Z so I figure I'll do the same with this then probably spring for a 911 variant.
