Everytime my wife rides in the car, she notices people staring and mentions it to me. Me, I'm like really?

We're too busy being responsible drivers and paying attention to the road.

In a way, I would rather not have some "shady" people staring at my Z, as the first thing that comes to mind is my Z being stolen or damaged while it's parked in the worst spot in the driveway.

I'm okay with no one noticing my Z and I doubt anyone is staring at it.

stares are good! that means they secretly envy you for having a Z , but also love you.

When the weather permits I pick up my son who is a Sophomore in H.S. I have done this 4-5 times this winter. Each time, kids stare and give me a big thumb's up. Just the other day, there were three kids attempting to jump a snow bank. As I pulled up, they all stopped in their tracks, followed me as I drove by one of them began to salute me and then the other two joined in and saluted as well.

I thought that was pretty funny.

I've noticed people giving the Z more attention than my 08 STI got. Yet, there's not that many 370's here in Reno, and I'm pretty sure I'm the only yellow Z in town. I've had the car for a week and I've had at least 1 person every other day say something to me about the car. Pretty good feeling, yet kind of weird haha

Only had my Z for two weeks and notice that it does draw some attention. The day I bought it, I had a prior gen Audi S4 try to race me on the highway (as I was driving the speed limit in the far right lane). Last week, I drove it to the Toyota dealer to get some parts for my wife's car and all the salesman just watched me drive by.

I got my first compliment on the road. At the red light dude in a pretty clean SRT 4, said he liked my car.

I came out to my morgan with about 8 people crowded around it today at advance auto, at lowes I chatted with an elise owner for a while, and 2 other people stopped me in the parkinglot. Got stuck at a red light in the middle of town and had 3 people drive by and take pictures, even more gave thumbs up. No one cares about the Z.
