Sort of a generalization. People of all races and ages drive vettes. People of all races and ages drive Zs, not just smaller 20 something asian guys.

the Z community is definitely a lot more diverse than the vette community..in my area i see vettes/z06's all the time..at least 1-2 everyday in my commute..i have only seen white middle aged men drive corvettes except for two times..once where i saw a 20 something year old white male in a black c6 z06 and another fellow of similar characteristics in a white twin turbo c5 z06

Same here in Houston. I have a 25-mile commute and see 2-3 different C6 Vettes every day. They are just too common. I see, on average, 1 370 per week. That will increase, I'm sure, but strangely enough, based on 350Z sightings (about 3-4 per week on my commute), I think the Z is much less an "everyman's car" than the Vette. Strange, considering how difficult a Vette is to live with as a DD and the cost of entry. You'd think it would be the other way around.

At my university, in the only parking garage is the same color/package as me. I park near him every now and again, but we get on campus at different times so it rarely happens. We did end up with us two next to us and a random black 370z one day, never saw the black 370z again though.
