I even remember as he was looking for the car I wanted(pearl white, base w/ sports pkg), he told me he could probably find me a standard base or touring model in that color, but sports pkg would be tough. Maybe one of the dealers on here can comment a bit more for ya.

I've noticed this too and agree with you 100%. Here in WI, there are not many to start with and it seems the only Z's available are fully loaded roadsters, 40th coupes, and base (no sport). And most of those are auto transmissions. There are no base + sport + MTs around anywhere. I know that's the most popular combo but it's not as if dealers had them and they flew off the lot. I talked to 2 dealers that haven't gotten any in that combo and they both even stated that base + sports are very difficult to find.
