Can't you just get an under carriage wash once or twice a week in the winter to minimize the rust from salt?

Does the Z come from the factory with "undercoating" and "rust proofing"? THANKS, J

I have owned a 1988 Mustang GT, a 1995 Trans Am, and a 2001 Trans Am. Along with a '93 crown vic, and a 2002 Infiniti G20.

None ever had an issue with rust, and most had coated undersides where rust was of concern (wheel-wells, etc.)

Unless you just LOVE! driving your car in snow/salt, and never wash the undercarriage, rust is the last thing to worry with regarding a modern car. Buy with confidence.

You don't need these. Modern cars do very well without them for a decade or more in adverse climates like humid saltwater beaches and the midwest which salts roads all winter. Technically, "rustproofing" is covered by modern alloys (much more aluminium and less carbon steel), galvanizing, stainless steel, and paints that are much better than 20+ years ago, but in the design of the car rather than some afterspray on silicon.
