Zipper, nice summary.

FWIW make sure you adjust your side view mirrors properly as it helps with the rear visibility. (A forum search will get you the thread.) Also I felt that the AT had some fairly pronounced throttle delay with ECU, hence I purchased a sprint booster and really enjoy it. It took me about 4 months to really appreciate the nuances of the Z, and I enjoy it more every day. Finally, the OEM tire wear out quick (around 12-10K miles), once you replace them with better tires it helps with the road noise.
