I believe if Nissan invested 5% of the budget they allocated for advertisement on the Maxima/Altima line they would see a big increase in "Z" sales.. I agreee the sales # are low but that in return would mean fewer cars would be produced. This would also explain why you don't find a "Z" in every dealership. Same holds true for a GT-R. If you walk into a dealership looking for a Z or GT-R .. the salesman knows that you are ordering some thing from the "specialty" menu and you know what you want...

What we are toasting to the fact that the Z is an exceptionally beautiful car that can holds it own against other far more expensive/exotic cars.

IMO all American/German cars a dime a dozen in the US. The Japaneses flooded the low end market with "cheaper" cars but despite that the "Z" still holds a certain elite status here & abroad..

All cars have limitations.. We just choose to look at them as problems..... You can go on forever trying to "modify" a car to improve some perceived shortcoming.. Which really on circles back to the dealer coming out with the "next" years model with limitation/short coming improved upon (or so we hope) and when they don't move fast enough (one year) we take matters into our own hands with "3rd party" bolt-on etc... And even if the dealer did improve it, by nature we will always look for a way to squeeze 2 more drops of blood.. i mean HP/torque from the car...

Oh, I concur. The Z is gorgeous. You'll get no argument there.
Well, those specific limitations effect the track-ability of the car. In stock form, it is rather dangerous to take to a race track. And while that may not be a concern for many performance car buyers, it certainly is an issue to some. I'm getting ready to track my car. I've addressed the braking issues and oil heating issues as best I can. I'm hoping not to run into fuel starve on my first time out.

Advertising ? Uhmmm I don't know. GT-Rs aren't advertised and I'm starting to see them around more often. Perhaps more often than the Z.
I love to see other Z drivers however I LOVE to be the only one with the car driving around and receiving all the compliments.
Well thats why we have meets right. To gather every Z lover
