to me, the coolest thing about the top end american cars (viper, z06, zr1, zl1, gt500) is that they only come with a true manual transmission. if you don't like to shift, oh well, there's the nissan gt-r, ferrari and lamborghini cars :)

I have never met an older Z owner. Just what looked like 35 (at the oldest) and below. Demographics differ, though, and living near one of the largest military installations in the country skews things around here.

I agree. I'm 26 and I think it's the perfect age for the 370z. I honestly cannot see myself driving this car when I'm say 40 or older. I don't think I would put up with the road noise and the other issues if I was older. I think M3 land is where i'd be.

Well I'm 21, but I met up at a Z meet in MD and there was definitely a huge age gap between me and the most of the other guys. There were other guys who looked like they were in their 20's bit also guys who looked like they were in their 40's. I'm gonna keep the Z for a few years and hopefully move on to a GT-R. After that I will have to see what cars are are available, but I do like Aston Martin.

I was working as a tech in a Nissan dealer in 02-04 and what I saw was a couple of college kids (TCU) and a high school kid here and there. Then it was mustly retirees. driving them. The kids left the house and they could now afford the sports car they always wanted. The C5 corvette just didn't have the fit and finish the 350's did. A couple trophy wives drove them to.

You and Hazazzi, I believe, are our youngest members.

The rest of us are in our mid 20s to 50s. :icon17:

Hey, I'm young too. Don't lump me in with you old farts.:inoutroflpuke:

You often wake up in the middle of the night to pee. You are old. :hello:

:confused:

I am 18!!

I am 40 and I will not ever get tired of the Z. M3's are a nice cars but I have three vehicles for the price of a new M3.

Your only as old as you feel.

the m3 must be a very powerful car but it looks too conservative for me. there are a lot of less expensive cars that i would rather have instead of the m3 (like all the modern american muscle cars, for example).

Its always good to add some diversity to the group. :tup:

Yes, but you are not part of our group here in VA/MD that I was referring too. :)
