They said once the car is here and if i don't like it for any reason, i could cancel the contract. It's not that I don't trust them. I just wanted to know if this is the normal practice for a sports car?

Yes this is normal for any car. It will cost the dealer several dollars for him to get the car for you. He wants a reasonable guarantee that he has a sale in hand before he sends a driver to obtain it for you.

Remember that some old retired guy is going after it for you and that he will be driving it at highway speeds.

If it is a 'Z' I believe that I would insist that it be trailered and not driven...........!
