OP, first I'd recommend getting the Z soon if you do opt to buy one. Obviously the supply of new Z's to this country is questionable until the Japanese recover from the disaster there.

I think you'll find the following as you read through the forum:

Pros:
Looks/styling
Handling
Ample power (especially after 3k rpms)
Highway MPGs
Options for modifications (some will debate me on this)
Shear fun factor

Cons:
Road noise
Low power compared to American muscle
Clutch grabs high and makes lots of noise
So-so sound system
Poor customer service experienced by some

I have a Touring, and really love the seats and other amenities. I wish I had a LSD like the sport owners do, and plan to add one soon.

Good luck with the decision
