when was there an age limit added on to have fun in these cars...........

corvettes do attract a some what older age group. 30-???
most of those guys have worked 10 to 20 years
dreaming of the day they could buy one.

I think that is more of a price thing like you mentioned. The same could be said of most cars that start in the low 40's and go up from there.

Still, the C5's and some of the older C6's are very popular with college-age people.

Seeing the number of people who keep spinning out and getting into accidents as soon as VDC is off, do we really need Nissan to add more power to the Z?

Good point.

It'd be a scary thought if most people here switched to Vipers. Those cars make twice the hp and tq of the Z, and they have no form of traction control whatsoever

Very true. A Viper will force you to grow up fast or it will kill you.

Vipers are easy cars to mess up in. I have to admit, the fact that I realize I am not God's gift is why I went with a Z06 instead. They have a few nannies.

In fact, I like CAIs so much, I would probably have gotten them in any performance car. Heck, my DD has them.

Not only did I do the cai/cbe on my Z, but i also did them on wifes' XC-70 wagon. A great sound and a little kick in the pants.Did I metion the improved mpg?:

I say keep the motor and HP on standard models were they are. But make a Nismo built with Turbos! yeah it cost more but then Nissan could really say, see we have a performance model. I would buy it!

WTF? I'm 54 and having a blast with my Z. There is no ideal age. To paraphrase "The Who"...I hope I die before I grow up!

I've had my car for a year and the VDC has not been off once, and it kicks in on a very regular basis, the car is allowed to get just a bit sideways. With the financial responsibility of supporting a family of 5, it's not worth the risk of a bent $40k car, and I've bent a couple over the years by driving too aggressivley (admittedly when it's very cold and there is black ice). I used to drive my Camaro sideways all the time, but it just wasn't that big a deal if I smashed it.
