Does anyone smell that? It smells like a good old fashioned cat fight.

sorry, when i said everyone i meant the particular owners around my area. there's a local 370 meet and it just died. people just selling left and right. plus there's always a plethora of z's being sold in the Sales section and the car's been out only a few years. i know some people change it up almost every year but there is a lot of sale threads for a fairly rare car on the road, much less the actual amount of owners that are on this forum.

Well the Z is not for everyone and some people just have to find that out for themselves. Many people get rid of them llike you said because of financial problems, kids, and other priorities. But for the few that do love the Z car with hold on and cherish it forever (or at least till they upgrade). But I bought mine cuz I grew up around the Z car and have loved it ever since I was a kid.

Watch the redesign be amazing. They will come back!

Well I didn't know till now that I was selling my Z. I plan on getting a Miata for the doors.

I will say I have never been on a forum where so many people (a vocal minority, anyways) have been so concerned with what other people are doing with their lives. As if someone trading in their Z on something else has any impact on your life whatsoever!

Maybe other forums don't have that exact symptom, but every car forum has loads of insecure posts about the cars. I'm a member of three currently, and a lurker on a few more. There are always these sorts of posts, maybe not about "who's selling", but about plenty of other stuff.

I'm on more car forums than I can count on two hands and I've never seen anything like this before.

FT86 boards are very insecure about speed and comparing the car against more expensive competition.

Corvette boards are insecure about the C7 design, the viper, the mustang

A European board I used to frequent was insecure about anything American outperforming anything European or Japanese.

Every board has its drama and insecurities.

Actually, considering I have to buy everything you buy, your choice to buy or sell cars has a huge impact on my life.

Personally I'm probably keeping the car for 5-6 years. I'm already bored of the power, and the amount of money spent for full bolt-ons/tune or boost comes with unsatisfying gains in terms of hp/$. For handling the curves and drifting, it does well, but the straights leave much to desire.

I sold my Z last month. I loved the car. it was 2010 Fully loaded all options.. with 8,000 miles.. I just got married, bought a new house, thinking of expenses and moving forward, it was not practical to keep a 2 seater sitting in garage, payments and not even drive in winter.. harsh winters here in Northern Virginia. I traded in/ and got a 2013 mazda CX-5 (love the space, 31MPG city, lack of power..need to live w/ that)..oh well, but it's about priorities..

Z is a great car. BUT there is a time and place for everything in life.
In a few years, I will either getting a GT-R or 4 seater sports sedan.. (M5 or Panomara).. let's see..

BTW. Anyone in DC area looking for a great deal. My Z is at Arlington Mazda for a pretty decent price.. Fully loaded.. Rev.D lock installed.. absolutely perfect.

Where I live the Z is perfect year round, and I love taking it to my GF's relatives in Fresno, about a 3 hour drive, and then beating on the Z all day long up in the mountain twisties and some awesome straights

. When I get married I already said I'm keeping the Z and turning it into a proper racecar with my buddy after I get a second vehicle (Probably a truck again, I miss my truck so much OMFG!!!!).

Anyway, the Z is ******* great, and so far the best bang for the buck of any car in my book.
