Well, I'm new to this forum and to the Z .... but I'm 45 (married with kids).
The poll didn't surprise me too much that these cars are most popular with the 20 and 30-something crowd. (Hey, I was interested in the Z cars pretty much that whole time in my life, too.) But it's good to see as many "outliers" in age as there are.

Someone already accused me of buying a "boy racer" car (in other words, a car I'm supposed to be too old or mature to be driving around). I really don't believe such a thing exists. ANY car sold from the factory is a reasonable option for people of all ages who might want to drive. You might do a bunch of things to modify your car that make it obvious you're a younger driver -- but that's on each individual.

I don't think I'll ever put big fire-breathing dragons down the sides of my car, for example. That would have been a lot "cooler" to drive around when I was in my early 20's ... and not so much if I have to take a co-worker in the office someplace.
