i like the attention because it feeds my ego but i also hate it because i know if normal people notice me, cops notice me even more
Yes sir. Cops do notice. They do double takes. Motorcycle cops, bicycle cops, CHP, Sherrifs, under cover cops, you name it. Seen it happen while at Staples Center and on the freeways (or interstate depending on what part of the country you are at).

My car seems to get more looks, stares, and points at from younger people/children than anyone else.

Kids definitely love the Z

Passed by a few DayCamp groups on my way back to the office and the ohhs and ahh's from the kids, priceless.

If ever I need a pick me up or ego stroked taking the Z around the block will do it. Easily I get a few thumbs up, head turns or people throwing a nice comment my way.

On another thread you mentioned you like the looks of the 09-12 better than your 13. Hope you're liking the looks of your 13 better now!

So true, kids & teens love the Z. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when a pretty young lady (late 20's early 30's) looking at my car, then looked up and smiled at me when I slowly approached the intersection she was crossing. Guess I reminded her of her dad

Last weekend at Wekfest as I was looking for parking, I saw some kids snapping some pics of my Z and I can't lie....it felt awesome.

No one will look anymore once the newly designed Z comes out. We will be old news!

I get stares now and then but nothing compared to my MKIV Supra. I guess they are so rare to see since the last ones were 1998 models here in the U.S.
