Had many awkward silent moments in petrol stations with people asking what she was, and when I park up outside my mums when I go to visit her ( yards from local primary school) They act like baboons at a safari park, minus the ripping off the wipers part, they go totally ape over her. Youngsters especially love the Z as she's on more or less on every xbox, ps3 video game there is, as its the affordable ( man on the street ) supercar. I think they love the idea that its a proper performance car, but its within the grasp of Joe Average.
I love my Z! Both my 350 and now my 370. Every time I pull the belt over and start her up, It's an event, not just the start of an A to B journey. If you don't feel involved in every trip you make, what's the point in keeping her. It's an expensive car to run, so thats why I'm guessing 90 percent of owners love driving it like its supposed to be driven.
Had nothing but good comments and vibes, but mainly from kids and people who know exactly what the car is capable of.
I love all performance cars, but if you parked a Z next to an Audi R8, which one do you think is most likely to have a key mark down the side after being parked up overnight(trust me, the thought makes me weep)!
Back in from drinky poos, and not exactly captain sobriety, and It's probably not normal to give a mostly inanimate object, so much attention, but, WHAT A MACHINE!
