Look at the list of cars he drives. The dealer probably knows that he is a extremely potential buyers compare to most people. With regular buyers like us, it will be lucky that they will even let us sit in it.

The dealers around my area always let ppl test drive.
Infact, they're the one's who usually ask first lol...
Maybe because they're really desperate to make a sale since it's based on commission...
I would love to walk out with a fully loaded z under 40!
But something tells me ill end up paying almost 50...
And if that's the case, I'm gonna tell the employees to

RE clutch: The clutch pedal in my 2004 350z was 100% stiffer than the 370Z I drove yesterday. I remember the dealer telling me a few years ago that the 2005-08 had softer clutches due to customer COMPLAINT?

It also engages roughly 2" (if not less) from the floor...the older 350Z's had an adjustment that could be DIY under the pedal but not sure about the 370. I like to slip it a bit & feather it if I am leaving the line hard...no chance with the set-up I drove yesterday. It was like foot down, boom! engaged...

The new transmission is perfect. Again, short throws, solid, bullet proof shifts. No "notchy" felling.

You may all know that I drove one almost a month ago about 400 miles. I Loved most every bit of it. I liked it so much I wrote a bit about it here: http://upload.z1motorsports.com/2009Nissan370ZRally.pdf

I hope this helps shed some light on the Z and gets you all out there driving one.
